Yes, Amy Schumer really is dating a dreamy furniture designer straight out of our Sex and the City fanfiction that takes place in Chicago. But she really, really did not meet him on the online dating app Bumble, as some outlets have reported since news of the relatively new relationship started blowing up.

As Schumer Tweeted on Wednesday, referring to this apparently inaccurate report:


Some were excited about Bumble because it is designed to let women make the first move—only women can send first messages through the dating app—and who better than feminist icon Amy Schumer to give us a celebrity love story chock full of female empowerment. But Schumer went on to remind Twitter followers several more times that no, she did not meet boyfriend Ben Hanisch on Bumble, thank you very much. In one photo, her dog dressed as a bumble bee doesn't look too happy about it, either.
