In an Instagram video shared by author Noa Tishby on Sunday, December 21, the final night of Hanukkah, Schumer said: “I love Hanukkah. I was always really excited about it. Every time we light the candles, I feel like we’ve won,”
Schumer, 44 added: “Just when we hit rock bottom is when we can laugh the hardest. And I think that that’s not unique to me.”
Schumer also used social media to confirm her split from Fischer on December 12.

She wrote on her Instagram: “Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years,” Schumer wrote via Instagram at the time. “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.”
The pair have been married for seven years and she shares 6-year-old son Gen with the celebrity chef, 45.
