"Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after seven years," she wrote. "We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son."
"We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time. blah blah blah not because I dropped some lbs and thought I could bag a basket and not because he's a hot Janlmes Beard Award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail. Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever."

The condition occurs when the body is exposed to high levels of cortisol for a long period of time, leading to symptoms like weight gain, high blood pressure and fatigue.
The Trainwreck star shared with fans in December that her weight loss journey was life-saving. "I don't get Botox or filler. I didn't lose 30lbs, I lost 50," she clarified in an Instagram post. "Not to look hot, which does feel fun and temporary. I did it to survive. I had a disease that makes your face extremely puffy that can kill you, but the internet caught it, and the disease has cleared."

GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro, Wegovy and Ozempic work to suppress the appetite, and are typically used to treat diabetes. Amy had an adverse reaction to Ozempic, as she recalled on The Howard Stern Show.

So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago, and I was bedridden. I was like, vomiting – and then you have no energy. But other people take it, and they're all good. So, God bless them."
"I lost 30 pounds so quick. I looked great, but I couldn't lift my head off the pillow," she added. "So what's the point?" Amy also didn't react well to Wegovy, but she began to see results after taking Mounjaro, which she called a "really good experience".
