Shortly after filing for divorce, Schumer stepped out in New York City on Wednesday, opting for more casual attire as she chose not to flaunt her body. The 44-year-old sported a large black coat over a hoodie, black leggings, and black running shoes.

“Line up, boys,” Schumer jokingly added.
Her outfit was a complete 180 from her recently deleted social media post, where she was seen sporting different swimwear.
Netizens criticized Schumer’s bikini look, feeling that the post was inappropriately timed, given her recent divorce filing. Some even accused her of losing weight as a direct response to her separation from Fischer.

“So you couldn't better yourself out of love for your husband, but you will out of spite?” one user commented.
Another person wrote, “It's like he won the lottery.”
“Well, he is better off,” a third netizen said.
Amy Schumer opened up about her recent body transformation
Most negative comments about Schumer’s bikini pictures were targeted at her recent weight loss, with the actress confirming she had lost 50 lbs.
In an Instagram story she shared in December 2025, Schumer revealed that her transformation was a result of an ongoing health battle. However, the Snatched star admitted that she had undergone plastic surgery in the past and used weight loss medication for her transformation.

“I didn’t lose 30lbs, I lost 50. Not to look hot, which does feel fun and temporary. I did it to survive,” she wrote.
The actress revealed that her battle with a disease “that makes your face extremely puffy, that can k*ll you” triggered her transformation.

In 2024, Schumer was reportedly diagnosed with Cushing syndrome, a condition caused by excess cortisol in the body. Her story was most likely referencing the illness, which she confirmed had cleared up, and she was now healthy.

However, just a few months later, in December, Schumer confirmed that she and Fischer, who tied the knot in 2018, were separating after almost seven years together.
“We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son,” Schumer said of the split in an Instagram post.

A source close to the family revealed that the split allegedly resulted from Schumer’s focus on her career. The actress was last seen in Netflix’s 2025 comedy Kinda Pregnant, which she also co-wrote.
The insider shared that Schumer didn’t go full throttle as she would have liked, following the birth of her and Fischer’s son, Gene, in 2019.
“With those career goals and her being a mother, she didn’t focus much on her marriage to make that succeed,” the person said.
