Isla Fisher breaks silence after divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen

Isla Fisher is speaking out for the first time since she and ex-husband Sacha Baron Cohen announced their divorce. In April, the longtime couple revealed they had split last year, and now Fisher is thanking her followers.

“Thank you for all your kindness and support,” she wrote in an Instagram Story on Tuesday, according to E! News. The photo shows Fisher sitting outside at a table while wearing a purple patterned maxi dress and a green cargo jacket with black star detailing.

Last month, the ex-husband and wife announced their separation on Instagram after 13 years of marriage. “After a long tennis match that lasted over twenty years, we are finally putting down our rackets. In 2023, we filed a joint petition to end our marriage,” they wrote in the joint statement shared in their Stories . “We have always prioritized our privacy and have quietly worked on this change. We forever share our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy.”

The exes officially married in 2010, but met at a party in 2001 before getting engaged in 2004. In a 2020 interview with The New York Times, Cohen said he “knew instantly” after meeting her. “She was hilarious,” he exclaimed. “We were at a very pretentious party, and she and I bonded over the idea of ​​pissing off the other people at the party.”

The two have kept their relationship and family life quite private, however, in a 2022 interview, Fisher opened up about their relationship. “I don’t want to stand on a platform and advise anyone: If you marry someone you have a really good friendship with, everything else seems to fall into place,” she told E! . “You always get butterflies in your stomach and people tell you it goes away after a few years. But when you’re with the right person, in reality, that’s just not the case.”
