Gene is royalty to the comedian and her husband because apart from them being his parents, the 37-year-old went through a difficult pregnancy to have him.

Schumer throughout her pregnancy suffered from a severe case of morning sickness — hyperemesis and had to cancel the rest of her comedy tour due to complications from the condition.

Despite the challenging journey, the new mother enjoyed every bit of it, sharing updates on her social media, including standing on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Arts to take a picture before going to the hospital on Sunday.

ONCE UPON A LOVE STORY

The word "Perfect" describes the "Snatched" star's life with her husband. The two met in 2017 after she broke up with Hanisch. Her relationship with the later lasted for two years before they called it quits.

The actress met her ex on the dating app "Raya." He was her first match, and a picture of him with his grandma appealed so much to Schumer that she agreed to go on a date with the Chicago resident.

In an interview with "Marie Claire" at the time, she credits him as her first real boyfriend and even got to meet his friends and family.

However, things eventually didn't work out for them, but they've stayed friends, and Hanisch is currently dating, Janine Doherty.
