Amy Schumer has shared some new photos of her baby, Gene Attell Fischer, born May 5th. I thought that this was the first photo she’d posted but she did share photos right after he was born. This is the first child for Amy and her husband of one year, chef Chris Fischer. Amy posted this sweet photo of Gene with his eyes closed and it looks like he’s smiling in his sleep! He probably has gas or something but I found it adorable.
This is what Amy wrote in the caption:
Here is our son Gene. He likes looking around and laughing at his toy the black and white butterfly. Always down for a nap and a good cry if the poops are on the reg he wanted me to tell you guys he wants you to volunteer or donate here @immfamtogether
The charity that she mentioned, @immfamtogether, helps immigrant families by paying bonds for detained immigrants and providing assistance to immigrants released from detention. It’s despicable how the government is treating children and families at the border and I wish there wasn’t the need for charities like this. Unfortunately they’re often unable to even get needed supplies to the facilities where immigrants are being mistreated and neglected. I’m glad Amy is bringing attention to these causes. She’s been an outspoken activist and it’s appreciated.
Here’s another photo she posted of Gene with her dog. This is the cutest:
You know what I just realized? If Amy took her new husband’s name she would be Amy Fischer, whom we know as the Long Island Lolita. (I think she’s even said this but I feel like I came up with it.) Of course she’s going to keep her name as she’s famous and it’s her brand, but she probably doesn’t want to be known as Amy Fischer either.

The kid is adorable. Good on Amy for what she’s doing RE donations and for using her platform in this way.
Lovely baby, lovely family. Could she be growing on me? Lol. And I just remembered about her husband being on the spectrum…gives me hope that my son might one day find love. Right now, as a 20-year-old, he feels like a romantic relationship is not in the cards for him. Sigh.
My husband is on the spectrum 🙂 He’s a fantastic partner.
Aw, I know my son would be, too, he’s a sweetheart and so incredibly loyal. He tends to always remain on the outside as an observer, or at best a wingman to his friends with girlfriends. He’s never even come close to having a date or romantic encounter. I feel like he puts up a huge “friend zone” force field around him to protect himself from rejection.
💗💗
My almost-19 year-old daughter who is on the spectrum just started to enter the dating scene and it’s been really difficult for her. She goes all in really fast emotionally and finding someone who “gets” her has been a struggle. I worry about my son in the future but he’s only 8 so I have a lot time yet. Sometimes I’ll just look at him and wonder how he’s going to navigate entering adulthood.
I had no idea her husband was on the spectrum. My son is on the spectrum, and he’s only 4, but it’s something I also think about. Not just romantically, but friendships as well.
Her baby is completely adorable.
He is.
I am just a suck for a baby photo.
They just soothe me.
cute baby. I feel bad for him that they named him gene. I’ve known a lot of jerky genes though. Funnily enough, all the jeans (ie, women) I have ever met have been really nice and cool.
Lol at “jerky Genes.” I thought of the youngest Draper child in Mad Men, who was named Gene but didn’t really have a role. Seems so grown up for a baby.
It’s funny the associations people have with names. My SIL trashed my son’s name when I was pondering it as an “old man flipping burgers at a greasy spoon” name. I don’t think she thought we would actually choose it.
I didn’t think it suited baby gene, either! But I get it he was named after his grandfather.
Oooh, I wonder if your SIL feels embarrassed about that? I know I would!! I try not to do that with people picking names–they don’t need to know that someone named that was mean to me in school, etc. But these things would matter immensely to me when/if choosing names, and you’re right, it’s funny how some names can just take you to a memory of a person–good or bad!
I can’t believe how rude some people are about names.
Even if you don’t like it, DON’T SAY SO. Unless you are the spouse/partner/baby-daddy/baby-momma. Otherwise, just say, “oh, that’s nice…” and maybe ask if it’s family name or how they chose it. it along the lines of touching a pregnant woman’s stomach…unless you are the spouse/partner/etc (or MAYBE the grandmother)…DO. NOT. TOUCH. A. PREGNANT. WOMAN’S. STOMACH!
Gene Attell Fischer … I hear/see “genital fissure.” Sorry! Did Amy realize this? Is it on purpose? Is she punking us?
She is the type to think it’s “edgy” and “interesting”
Omg, I would hope she didn’t think of that. I think that when you are in the position of picking, you maybe aren’t thinking of the negative. “Genital” omg that is so funny!!!
Awwwww… Babies smile long before “they” say they can. Great idea for a charity – I’m going to go look into that right now!
So sweet. Almost makes me pine for a newborn. Almost. My oldest has proposed. They’ll be married within the next 12 months, and she’s wanting a baby soon. I’m thinking I’ll be a grandma holding a newborn in a couple years or so!
Omg Mabs!! Congrats 🍾🎊🎈 how awesome, it’s almost almost Grandma time!! I think my eldest will propose during the winter holidays and the gal he loves is fantastic. I’ve been having Grandma daydreams myself. I can wait -but they’re planners and my son mentioned-maybe like 5 years??? I’m stoked!!!
The baby is so cute
Omg so cute.
I’m now an Amy Schumer lover big time, her activism thrills me. And her comedy is hilarious, especially the pregnancy comedy special- omg slayed me, I was ROTFL. 🤣😆 I will donate to this charity, not bc of it being recognized by Amy- I’m glad to hear of this group.
Kinda big hands on that sweet baby. He will make someone very happy down the line…
But seriously, he’s adorable!!
And there you have it, the creepiest comment ever posted on this blog.
I started watching “I Feel Pretty” today and remembered how funny I used to think she was (Comedy Central show, then Trainwreck). She really can act. I’m a fan.
