Mazel Tov to New Mama Amy Schumer!

Do you know what happened while the world was waiting, with bated breath, for the news of the royal baby’s arrival?

Our very own Jewish royalty, of sorts — none other than Amy Schumer — gave birth to a baby boy on Sunday, May 5.

In an Instagram posted on Monday, May 6 (yes, the day that other royal baby was born!), Schumer wrote: “10:55 pm last night. Our royal baby was born.”

Check out the adorable, fresh-from-the-hospital pic:

Can we ask?

It's important to us to keep the warm, joyfully Jewish community on Kveller accessible for all. Reader donations help us do just that. Can you spare a few to keep Kveller free? (We'll love you forever.)

As it happens, Schumer’s pregnancy, aside from being closely linked to Meghan Markle’s, had another royal connection: Schumer suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, a form of extreme morning sickness, a condition that Kate Middleton also endured in her pregnancies.

No word yet on this baby boy’s name — hey, Amy… we’ve got a lot of great ideas for Jewish baby names here! — but we’d like to say a hearty “mazel tov” to Schumer and her husband, farmer and chef Chris Fischer. While we’re loving the shots of you making a pit stop at the Met Gala site on your way to the hospital, please post more baby pics soon!
