Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have announced their separation after 14 years of marriage. In a joint Instagram statement, the couple revealed that they had been working through the decision to end their marriage for some time. They emphasized their commitment to privacy and shared their love and devotion for their children. Cohen, 52, and Fisher, 48, were married in 2010 and share three children, who have been kept out of the spotlight.
Speculation about the status of Cohen and Fisher’s relationship had been circulating for months before the official announcement. Fisher attended the Vanity Fair Oscars Party alone earlier in the year, and she had not shared any photos with her husband on social media since November 2023. However, she jokingly discussed their relationship in a February interview, highlighting Cohen’s humorous Valentine’s Day card tradition. The news of their separation comes amidst headlines surrounding Cohen in relation to Rebel Wilson’s memoir, where she discussed an uncomfortable encounter with him during the filming of The Brothers Grimsby.
According to Wilson’s memoir, she recounted a disturbing incident involving Cohen asking her to engage in nudity and other inappropriate behavior on set. She described feeling scared and uncomfortable, ultimately compromising by slapping him on the butt and improvising lines. The allegations made in Wilson’s book were refuted by Cohen’s representative, citing evidence such as contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts that contradict the claims made by Wilson. The incident has brought negative attention to Cohen in the media.
