Amy Schumer is expecting her first child with husband Chris Fischer.
The comedian staged a creative pregnancy reveal: she had journalist Jessica Yellin of News Not Noise announce the baby news on social media along with her voting recommendations ahead of the US midterm elections next month.
Yellin shared a list of Schumer's endorsements on her Instagram story, which included candidates from states like New York, Georgia, Florida, Texas and more. After the last item on the list, there was a short message that read: "I'm pregnant – Amy Schumer."
Yellin posted the photo to Twitter, too.
Schumer teased the news on her own Instagram account with a cheeky image of her and Fischer's faces pasted onto Meghan Markle's and Prince Harry's. (The Duchess of Sussex, who also recently announced that she's expecting, is holding onto her baby bump in the photo.)
"About to announce some exciting news on @jessicayellin insta page," Schumer wrote in the caption.

In April, Schumer revealed that she changed her mind about not wanting kids. "Here's the thing. I have never wanted kids," she told Ellen DeGeneres.
"Then I saw myself as a baby on your show and I thought, 'Who am I to deprive the world of such a beautiful baby?' So I think we're going to do it, but just use my genetics," she joked.
Schumer and Fischer tied the knot in a secret ceremony in February this year. The ceremony took place in Malibu, California in front of a small but star-studded crowd.
Among the 80 guests were celeb friends like Jennifer Lawrence, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jennifer Aniston and Chelsea Handler, People reports.
After the nuptials, Schumer shared photos from the special day, including candid snaps with her new husband and friends. The bride wore a frothy sleeveless Monique Lhuillier dress for her wedding.
