Jan. 06--Comedian Amy Schumer is dating Chicago furniture designer Ben Hanisch, she revealed on her Instagram.
Schumer, whose Comedy Central show "Inside Amy Schumer" was recently renewed for a fifth season, posted a picture Monday with friends standing by the White House. Hanisch's arm is around her.
Hanisch, 29, posted a picture last week of the couple with the caption, "Sometimes in life you get extremely lucky, and the smartest, funniest, most beautiful woman comes along when you least expect it. Here's to what adventures 2016 brings!"
Hanisch founded The Last Workshop, a custom furniture company based on the North Side. He was previously a Chicago-based freelance project manager and design consultant, according to his LinkedIn page. He lived in Utah before moving to Chicago in 2013.
Schumer has become a familiar sight in Chicago recently. She performed at a sold-out show at Constellation Dec. 24 with Chicago native John Mulaney and her brother Jason Stein, a Chicago bass clarinetist.
