Amy Schumer, husband Chris Fischer expecting first child

Los Angeles, October 23

Actor-comic Amy Schumer and her husband Chris Fischer are expecting their first child together.

Schumer hinted at her pregnancy by posting a photo on Instagram showing the heads of herself and her husband edited onto the bodies of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the latter of whom is also expecting a child.

The pictures were accompanied by a message directing fans to the page of the journalist, Jessica Yellin, where Schumer said she was "about to announce some exciting news" and that Yellin had "agreed to post a lil noise today" on her behalf.

"I wanted to share some news from our community, maybe it's noise but it's happy noise," Yellin said.

"So I'm not in the business of making voting recommendations, but these are the recommendations of Amy Schumer, one of the most consistent and earliest supporters of News Not Noise. Now read all the way to the bottom, you'll see there's some news down there. Congratulations, Amy."

At the end of a list of Schumer's recommended congressional and gubernatorial candidates was simply the line: "I'm pregnant-Amy Schumer."
