Amy Schumer announces birth of her own 'royal baby'

Amy Schumer and her husband, Chris Fischer, welcomed their first child, a boy, on Sunday.

The actress and comedian shared the news on Instagram Monday, and in a nod to the birth of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son, she called her child "our royal baby." She didn't reveal her son's name, but did disclose that he was born at 10:55 p.m.

Schumer and Fischer, a chef and cookbook author, married in 2018. Schumer announced her pregnancy in October, and shared in November that she had to be hospitalized due to hyperemesis gravidarum, which causes extreme nausea and vomiting and can lead to dehydration.
