They became a couple in 2001 and separated in 2023. But only now have actors Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher announced the end of their marriage.
“I knew immediately that she was the right one,” Sacha Baron Cohen once said in an interview with the New York Times. At that time, the actor spoke about the first time he met Isla Fisher. The two met at a party in Sydney in 2001. They became a couple, married and had three children.
But now, after more than 20 years of dating, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have announced the end of their marriage. They wrote about a photo that shows both of them in tennis looks: “After a long tennis match that lasted over 20 years, we are finally putting down our rackets.”
“In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage,” the couple said. Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher emphasized in their statement that they will be there for their offspring despite the separation. Daughter Olive was born in 2007. She is now 16 years old. Elula Lottie Miriam followed in 2010, and Montgomery Moses Brian followed in 2015. “We forever share our devotion and love for our children.”
The two also wrote about the picture that it was important for them to go through this process privately: “We have always prioritized our privacy and have worked quietly on this change.”
Serious allegations from Rebel Wilson
Just a few days ago, Sacha Baron Cohen hit the headlines with a different story. Rebel Wilson makes serious allegations against the British comedian in her autobiography “Rising Rebel”. The allegations concern their time together on the set of the comedy film “The Spy and His Brother,” which was released in 2016.
He urged her to “get naked” in the film. It felt “as if it had [er] sexually harassed me,” said the actress. In the final scene, he also asked her to stick her finger in his butt.
Sacha Baron Cohen’s spokesman released a statement shortly afterwards: “While we understand the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly refuted by extensive detailed evidence. This includes contemporary documents, film footage and eyewitness accounts from people who came before , were present during and after the production of ‘The Spy and His Brother’.”
