In March 2019, Schumer shared in her Netflix special “Amy Schumer: Growing” that Fischer had been diagnosed with autism, saying that “there were some signs early on” and that “anything that made it clear that she was on the spectrum were reasons why I was madly in love with her.”
“It really gave us a lot of helpful tools,” she said of her diagnosis on the April 2022 episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” “I think it’s good for people to check it out and get tested so you don’t spend your whole life feeling like you’re bad or wrong… my favorite people are on that spectrum.”
During the pandemic, the duo also starred alongside each other on the Food Network show “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook,” where Fischer taught Schumer some of her skills. They also appeared together in the HBO Max docuseries “Expecting Amy,” which highlighted Schumer’s struggle to get pregnant for the second time.

When she appeared on Chelsea Handler’s podcast in March 2022, she said the in vitro fertilization journey led them to a normal embryo, adding, “We tried it and it didn’t work… and I don’t have a uterus anymore.”
“So we’re just going to have one kid and we’re enjoying our little family and I’m just focusing on that,” she said. “I’m excited, but I’m sad. And it’s not really a sympathetic thing because it’s like there’s already one, damn it, shut up. But you know, it’s a real struggle that people go through.”
