Amy Schumer is pregnant with her first child
Comedian and political activist Amy Schumer has revealed she is expecting her first child with husband, Chris Fischer.
And as you might expect, her announcement was pretty creative and politically charged.
The I Feel Pretty star revealed the news on journalist Jessica Yellin’s Instagram page.
Jessica, who runs the website News Not Noise, posted Amy’s voting recommendations for the upcoming midterm elections on her story, which included the actress’s personal announcement at the very end.
Amy hinted at the baby news on her own Instagram account, Photoshopping her and Fischer’s faces onto Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s bodies with a note to followers to head over to Jessica’s Instagram page for the full story.
The royal couple revealed last week that they are expecting their first child in spring 2019.

“Chris and I are thrilled and almost positive he’s the father. I look forward to competing with Markle every step of the way,” Amy quipped in a statement to the Los Angeles Times.
Chris, who is the brother of Amy’s personal assistant, and the actress met during a weekend in Martha’s Vineyard.
The chef and James Beard Award-winning cookbook author proposed to Amy earlier this year, and they planned their surprise February wedding within days of his low-key proposal.

Pregnancy speculation swirled after their quick nuptials, which Amy quickly denied at the time — while promoting Everytown for Gun Safety.

Amy also debunked pregnancy speculation again over the summer with an Instagram video while on holidays.

In an April interview with Howard Stern, Amy played coy on her and Chris’ plans to start a family.
“Maybe,” she replied when asked if motherhood was around the corner. “I got a little dog and I really love her, so that’s the first step!”
Well-wishes are pouring in for the parents-to-be on social media.
