Amy Schumer delivers her own ‘royal baby’
Jewish actress who is married to chef Chris Fischer posts picture on Instagram holding her newborn son
Amy Schumer delivered what she called “our royal baby” hours before the birth of the new prince in Britain.
Schumer, 37, is married to chef Chris Fischer. Schumer posted a photo on Instagram of Fischer kissing his actress-comedian wife, who is holding their newborn son.
The couple was married last year in Malibu, California, in a ceremony that included the Jewish wedding tradition of breaking glass.
Schumer, the star of “Trainwreck” and “Snatched,” and most recently “I Feel Pretty,” announced in October that she was pregnant, just days after Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle announced their first pregnancy.
The announcement appeared at the end of a list of her 20 recommended candidates in the midterm elections that was posted on the Instagram story of journalist Jessica Yellin. The list ended with “I’m pregnant-Amy Schumer.”
Schumer also posted on Instagram a photo of her and Fischer’s faces Photoshopped on the bodies of Prince Harry and Markle with the message “About to announce some exciting news.”
Shortly before the post announcing her pregnancy, Schumer posted a photo of herself posing on the Met Gala red carpet in a long cardigan and stretch pants announcing that she made the stop on the way to the hospital for the delivery.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.

Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
