Isla Fisher has announced her marriage to Sacha Baron Cohen is over – and that they broke up at the end of last year.
The 48-year-old Australian actress and the 52-year-old British comedy actor tied-the-knot in 2010 and share three children together. But the pair have revealed they quietly separated in 2023 and are now heading for divorce.
Taking to social media on Friday evening, Isla broke the bombshell news – uploading a comedic photograph of herself and Sacha posing together while wearing tennis whites. She revealed in an accompanying statement that their marriage had come to an end – explaining that they had split at an undisclosed time last year and that they will continue to co-parent their three children.
She wrote: “After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our rackets down. In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change.”
Appealing for privacy, she added: “We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate our family’s wishes for privacy.” A minute later, Sacha shared the exact same image and statement via his own Instagram Stories account.
The news came as a shock to fans – with many flooding social media to express their disbelief over the news. One fan wrote on X: “Sad to hear about Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher. Relationships can be challenging, but I hope they both find peace and happiness moving forward.” While another remarked, in a more humorous line: “Liza Minnelli has outlived Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher’s marriage. They are divorcing after many years together.”
