After chronicling her difficult pregnancy on social media, actress Amy Schumer welcomed her first child, a boy, on May 5 and announced the news on Instagram. “10:55 pm last night. Our royal baby was born,” Schumer posted.

Two days later, Schumer revealed her son’s name in the caption of a photo of her husband Chris Fischer holding their son: “Gene Attell Fischer and his dad Chris.”
