Isla Fisher recently spoke out for the first time following the end of her 14-year marriage to Sacha Baron Cohen. In a message on her Instagram story, Fisher thanked her social media followers for their kindness and support after the couple announced their divorce in early April. Fisher also shared a photo of herself enjoying a glass of wine as she navigates this new chapter in her life.
Cohen and Fisher revealed the end of their marriage in a joint statement, stating that they had filed for divorce in 2023 after spending over twenty years together as a couple. They emphasized their commitment to privacy and their shared devotion to their children, asking for respect for their family’s wish for privacy during this difficult time.
The couple first met at a party and instantly hit it off, with Cohen noting Fisher’s sense of humor as what initially drew him to her. They got engaged in 2004 and were married in 2010, going on to have three children together. The news of their divorce came amid allegations from Rebel Wilson, who called Cohen out as the “a–hole” she had written about in her memoir.
Wilson accused Cohen of inappropriate behavior during the filming of “The Brothers Grimsby,” claims that Cohen’s representative quickly refuted as “demonstrably false.” The representative pointed to evidence such as contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts to contradict Wilson’s accusations, emphasizing the importance of speaking out against false claims.
Despite the challenges they face following their divorce, both Fisher and Cohen expressed gratitude for the support they have received from fans and well-wishers. While Fisher acknowledged the kindness shown to her during this difficult time, Cohen’s representative defended him against false accusations, underscoring the complexities and difficulties of navigating a public divorce while balancing privacy and respect for all parties involved.
