You may have been too preoccupied with Amy Schumer’s “nemesis” Meghan Markle, to know that just hours before the Duchess of Sussex gave birth, so too did the always hilarious comedian.
“10:55 pm last night. Our royal baby was born,” she wrote on Instagram, shortly followed by a post revealing the name of her baby boy: Gene Attell Fischer.
Amy’s been serving comedy gold with her pregnancy diaries, updating us throughout her 9-month journey.
Days before she gave birth she even joked about the fact that it’s been forever and she’s still pregnant. “It must be getting annoying to you all that I’m still pregnant? Well imagine how I feel... #soblessed#hatemondaysloveweekendstho,” she wrote.
But the day finally arrived, and while everyone was dressed head-to-toe in ruffles and frills on their way to the Met Gala, she rocked up in sweatpants-chic to the hospital.
Amy’s said before, she absolutely hates being pregnant at the same time as her “nemesis”, her royal highness, the Duchess of Sussex.
"You know who it’s not fun to be pregnant at the same time as? Meghan Markle! She’s walking around in heels and cradling her baby that’s not even there, and I’m barely wearing underwear,” she joked.
And since giving birth, we’re happy to know her sense of humour hasn’t dwindled. If anything she’s just been serving up more looks – witty banter included.
She did admit that motherhood is no easy feat though, and it did take a whole team – a village if you will – to get her through pregnancy and the birth process.
But she did conclude, in true Amy Schumer fashion, becoming a mom, and perhaps in a tribute to all moms, “Women are the shit.”
