Sacha Baron Cohen and Wife Isla Fisher Finalize £120M Divorce
A Hollywood Love Story Turned Quiet Separation.
Baron Cohen, 53, and Fisher, 49, met at a party in Sydney in 2001. Reflecting on their first meeting, Sacha once said, “We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people at the party. I knew instantly. I don't know if she did.” That early spark turned into a lasting romance that many believed to be one of Hollywood’s most enduring.
The couple married in an intimate ceremony in Paris in 2010 after a prolonged engagement, and they welcomed three children together during their marriage. For years, the pair kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight, fiercely guarding their privacy and shielding their family life from media attention.
However, rumors of trouble in paradise began circulating in 2023 when the couple was rarely seen together publicly. In early 2024, they confirmed they had quietly separated the year prior, with a joint social media post featuring a photo of themselves in tennis outfits captioned:
“After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.”
The couple added at the time:
“We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change. We forever share in our devotion and love for our children.”
Latest News
While the divorce appears to have been handled with maturity, it did come in the wake of controversy. In 2023, Australian actress Rebel Wilson made allegations about Sacha Baron Cohen’s conduct during the filming of their 2016 movie The Brothers Grimsby, where the two portrayed a married couple.
Wilson’s claims were later revealed to be unsubstantiated. Cohen’s legal team responded forcefully, supplying evidence including production footage, emails, scripts, and witness testimonies to refute the accusations. The publisher subsequently removed the allegations from Wilson’s book in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
In a public statement, Cohen said:
“While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts.”
Insiders were quick to debunk any link between Wilson’s claims and the couple’s separation, pointing out that Cohen and Fisher had split long before the book’s release.
A film industry source added:
“The idea that Rebel’s claims had anything to do with the timing of the separation or announcement of Sacha and Isla’s break-up was always plain wrong.”
The End of an Era and a Focus on Family
Despite the public nature of their careers, both Fisher and Baron Cohen have maintained a private personal life, especially when it comes to their children. Now that the divorce has been finalized, sources say the former couple is focused solely on moving forward for the benefit of their family.
A source close to the pair told The Sun:
“It’s all sorted. Now Sacha and Isla both just want to get on with the rest of their lives – and focus on their family’s well-being.”
Fisher herself spoke candidly about the emotional toll the separation had taken on her earlier this year:
“It’s the most difficult thing that I’ve been through and I’ve learnt so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents.”
From Stardom to Separation: Their Legacy
Sacha Baron Cohen rose to international fame in the 1990s with his irreverent comic persona Ali G, and later with iconic characters such as Borat and Bruno. He gained critical acclaim for both his comedic and dramatic roles, cementing his status as one of the entertainment industry's most versatile performers.
Isla Fisher began her career on the Australian soap Home and Away, before breaking into Hollywood with standout performances in Wedding Crashers (2005), Confessions of a Shopaholic, and numerous voice and film roles. She has also authored several children’s books.
Their careers often ran parallel but rarely intersected publicly, a choice many saw as intentional and rooted in their desire to protect their family’s private life.
As Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher part ways legally, they leave behind a two-decade-long partnership that was once considered one of Hollywood’s most stable unions. While the curtain has fallen on their marriage, both actors appear determined to keep their roles as devoted co-parents center stage. Their shared focus remains on family, mutual respect, and shielding their children from the glare of public scrutiny.
Their divorce, though inevitably painful, stands as a rare example of dignity and maturity amid the chaos often associated with celebrity breakups.
