Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher Announce Divorce After Two Decades Together

In a joint social media statement, actors Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher revealed that they filed for divorce last year, ending their marriage of over 20 years. The couple, who share three children, shared the news alongside a photo of themselves dressed in tennis whites, likening their relationship to a lengthy tennis match finally coming to an end.

Explaining their decision, the pair expressed their commitment to privacy while navigating this significant life change. They emphasized their ongoing devotion to their children and requested respect for their family’s privacy during this time.

Baron Cohen and Fisher first crossed paths at a Sydney party in 2001, where they bonded over humor and mutual disdain for the event’s pretentious atmosphere. Reflecting on their initial meeting, Baron Cohen described Fisher as “hilarious” and recalled an instant connection.

Baron Cohen gained fame in the 1990s with his Ali G persona, followed by iconic roles such as Borat and Bruno. Meanwhile, Fisher transitioned from her role as Shannon Reed in the Australian soap Home and Away to a successful career in film, highlighted by her breakout role in Wedding Crashers and subsequent projects like Confessions of a Shopaholic.

Recent controversy arose between Baron Cohen and Australian actress Rebel Wilson, who made allegations against him in her memoir. Wilson claimed to have experienced derogatory treatment during the filming of Baron Cohen’s movie Grimsby. In response, Baron Cohen’s legal team has refuted these claims, citing evidence and testimony to support their defense.

Despite their personal and professional challenges, Baron Cohen and Fisher’s divorce marks the end of a long-standing partnership, leaving fans and followers to reflect on their shared journey and individual achievements.
