Amy Schumer is ringing in the new year as a single lady.
The actress joked about not having a New Year’s Eve kiss amid her separation from husband, Chris Fischer.
“Who’s kissing this at midnight?” Schumer wrote on her Instagram Stories Wednesday atop a photo of herself making a funny face and eating spaghetti.
Her light-hearted post comes weeks after the comedian, 44, announced that she and Fischer, 45, were ending their marriage.
“Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years. We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son. We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time,” she wrote in a lengthy Instagram caption on Dec. 12.
She shut down any speculation that the split is due to her dramatic weight loss and concluded by saying, “Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever.”
Page Six exclusively reported the the estranged pair are still living together in their Brooklyn Heights townhouse for the sake of their only child, Gene.
Their marriage had been plagued with split rumors for years before her announcement.
Fischer first raised eyebrows in 2021 when he presented Schumer with a 40th birthday cake reading, “I’m leaving you,” seemingly as a joke.
A shocking interview from April 2022 resurfaced in early December where the “I Feel Pretty” star detailed their lackluster sex life.
“We’re married four years now and it is hard to have sex,” she admitted on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” at the time.
“When you’re married. It’s hard to have sex when you’re married, OK. Because, like that’s your family. You know what I mean? Like that’s my emergency contact, I’m not going to just have sex with them,” she quipped. “That’s disgusting.”
One day after Schumer announced their separation, sources told the Daily Mail that their marriage suffered because of her career.
The insider alleged to the outlet that when the Schumer gave birth to their son in May 2019, she put her career on the back burner and “didn’t go full throttle as she would have liked.”
“With those career goals and her being a mother, she didn’t focus much on her marriage to make that succeed.”
They added that she wants to focus on building her career in the new year and “is trying to figure it all out one day at a time.”
The “Trainwreck” star and the chef secretly married in February 2018, shortly after they went Instagram-official that same month.
