Schumer announces that she’s pregnant

Amy Schumer took the long way around to announce that she’s pregnant with husband Chris Fischer.

The comedian and actress broke her baby news Monday on the Instagram stories of friend and journalist Jessica Yellin. Yellin, of the site NewsNotNoise.org, showed at the end of a list of Schumer’s recommended congressional and gubernatorial candidates the line: “I’m pregnant – Amy Schumer.”

Schumer is known for her liberal politics: She recently was arrested protesting the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.
