The American stand-up comedian Amy Schumer recently made headlines. Love is in the air in the first few days of 2016 with Schumer's new boyfriend. How did the two meet? Reports indicated Schumer found him through an app that puts women in charge. She denies this pointedly.
Everyone is gushing over Amy Schumer's hottie new beau, Ben Hanisch, a 29 year old future designer in Chicago. Buzz around the internet explains that Schumer allegedly found Hanisch on an online dating app that puts women in control.
The app, which is unlike Tinder, is designed to remove the negative male factors involved in the dating world. The app is called Bumble and it does not allow men to send a private message to women unless she made the first contact. (P.S. If the connections are of the same gender, either one can make the first contact).
The app was created by Whitney Wolfe. Wolfe used to work at Tinder and describes the app like a Sadie Hawkins dance.
Schumer denies that she found her new hottie boyfriend on Bumble. On a Twitter post via her social media handle @amyschumer, she announced:
Please let the record show I have never in my life been on Bumble.
The same goes through her Instagram account @amyschumer. She posted a picture online and captioned it:
#tbt me and my date to the globes #roadmanager my bf will be there too and we did NOT meet on bumble. Great site just not how we met.
Her announcement came after the internet created gushing noises over their obsession with the new boyfriend, especially when Hanisch posted a picture with his Instagram handle @benhanisch and captioned it:
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!
That is not to mean that Schumer doesn't use a dating app and that statement does not mean that she does either, reports confirmed. Celebrities who do use dating apps, such as Lindsay Lohan, is not a strange thing since it is a widely socially acceptable way to meet new people. However, most of them do publicly acknowledge any type of connection, if they are willing to reveal private information.
This may seem like an attempt for either parties to gain publicity as rumors rose from multiple sources that indicate that Hanisch made an account in the app in early 2015. Whatever the case, everybody is happy for the new budding romance!
