Amy Schumer welcomes ‘royal baby boy’ with husband Chris Fischer!

Amy Schumer is officially a mother! The actress and comedian welcomed her very first baby with her husband Chris Fischer, a James Beard Award-winning cookbook author and chef, on Sunday, May 5.

She announced the birth of her son via a cute Instagram post where she cuddles her baby boy while Fischer leans in to give her a kiss.

She captioned the picture, “10:55 pm last night. Our royal baby was born.” The caption was a nod to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry who welcomed their royal baby, also a boy, just hours later.

Just moments before her big reveal, the new mother had hinted to her followers with a hilarious photo of herself outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art alongside groups of people who were setting up for Monday’s 2019 Met Gala.

Amy Schumer joked in the caption, “Met look this year. Last night on the way to the hospital.”

Pregnancy announcement

She announced her pregnancy in October 2018, eight months after marrying her fiancé Chris Fischer. And just two days ago on May 5, 2019, she revealed the sex of her baby.

And according to Schumer, pregnancy has been “really tough”. She has been open about her severe nausea, and hyperemesis gravidarum which caused her to postpone dates on her comedy tour.

After doctors told her not to fly for a “couple of weeks” due to pregnancy complications, she had to end her comedy tour early in February. She released a statement,

“The baby and I are healthy and everything looks good. But I am in my 3rd trimester and I am still nauseous all the time and vomiting. I have a pretty good attitude about it and some days I feel good for a couple hours. But mostly it’s sucks [sic]. I wanted to push through and do my shows. Because I hate letting people down and I love stand up and money! But more than that I have to think about my health and the baby.”
