Sacha Baron Cohen And Isla Fisher Announce Their Divorce

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher are going their separate ways.

The two actors announced their split in joint Instagram Story posts on Friday.

After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down. In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage, the two said via their respective posts, alongside a photo of them in coordinating tennis outfits.

We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change, the statements read. We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our familys wish for privacy.

Baron Cohen and Fisher tied the knot in 2010, after a six-year engagement. They share two daughters and a son.

The two first crossed paths in Sydney around 2000. Baron Cohen told The New York Times in 2020 that he found his future wife hilarious.

We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people in the party. I knew instantly. I dont know if she did, he said with a laugh. Its taken her about 20 years to know.

Though the two often attracted public attention as actors in Hollywood, Fisher has spoken out before on keeping her marriage away from the spotlight.

I get nervous talking about it because I feel like, by not having my relationship in the public domain and not having spoken about how we met or really talked about our marriage publicly, its remained something private and valuable to me, she told Australian Womens Weekly in 2022.

I dont know if thats the secret, she said. But having a shared ability to find humour in the sharpness of life is always going to bring connection And otherwise, I just think its nice to keep some things for yourself.

Baron Cohen has been in the news recently, after actor Rebel Wilson alleged that the Borat star pressured her to appear nude in the 2016 film The Brothers Grimsby, in addition to another lewd request .

A representative for Baron Cohen responded to the Pitch Perfect actors allegations in a statement shared with the media  last month.

While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby, the spokesperson said.
