Amy Schumer -- following in the footsteps of the patron saint of talking about sex on television, Carrie Bradshaw -- is dating a carpenter. His name: Ben Hanisch.
Schumer has shared pictures of the pair's recent trip to the White House, where they heard President Obama speak about about gun control on Monday. That's a very cute date idea for anyone looking to involve their partner in an important political conversation.

Hanisch also Instagrammed a shot of the couple on New Year's Day, praising Schumer for being just the best.

Hanisch makes custom furniture in Chicago, like this cool table with built-in swing seats:

He also made this fun table that looks like a vagina:

Schumer joked that Hanisch was not, in fact, "her man" she was seeing at the White House.

...and continued to have fun with the interest in her love life on Twitter.

She also decided to divert the attention her relationship is drawing to a good cause, sharing a cute picture of the couple with a link to donate money to fight MS. Schumer's father suffers from the disease.
