Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher announced their divorce in 2023 after years of dealing with a ‘shaky’ marriage. The couple, who got married in 2010, struggled in their relationship after relocating to Australia in 2020. Cohen reportedly made sacrifices to move the family closer to Fisher’s relatives, which left him feeling isolated from his own social circle. The breakdown of their marriage was a gradual process, with the couple becoming different people with different goals and desires, particularly in terms of their careers. The prenuptial agreement they had is now causing complications in terms of sorting out custody of their three children, as everything they own is in both of their names.
The estranged couple are currently trying to work out the best arrangement for their three children, with Fisher having custody at the moment but with plans for Cohen to remain an active part of their lives. Despite their differing paths and the difficulties in their relationship, the insiders claim that both still have a lot of love for each other. Neither party has been involved in infidelity and they are not dating other people at this time. The decision to divorce was a mutual one and did not involve any cheating on either side. Cohen and Fisher released simultaneous statements on Instagram announcing their split, expressing their love for their children and their devotion to them.
Cohen and Fisher met in 2002 at a party in Australia and got engaged in 2004. Fisher converted to Judaism before they were married in 2010. They spent ten years moving between the US and UK before settling in Australia in 2020, eventually relocating to Perth. Fisher has previously expressed her feelings of safety and happiness in Australia, which led to their decision to move there. There were reports indicating that they did not want to raise their children in a politically tense environment in the US. Their split comes after Rebel Wilson made allegations against Cohen regarding her experience working with him on a film.
Fisher started her career on the Australian soap opera Home and Away and went on to star in films such as Confessions of a Shopaholic and Wedding Crashers. In a rare interview in 2022, she joked about the longevity of her marriage to Cohen, expressing gratitude for having him in her life. The couple managed to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 lockdown together but ultimately decided to end their marriage after over two decades together. They have asked for privacy during this difficult time and are focused on co-parenting their children. Despite their sadness at the end of their marriage, they maintain a strong bond and love for their family.
Cohen rose to fame with his mockumentary Borat in 2006 and has been known for his satirical humor and political activism. Fisher has built a successful acting career and has balanced her work with her role as a mother. Their split has brought attention to their personal lives, with rumors and gossip circulating about the reasons behind their divorce. Both parties have chosen to keep the details private and maintain a respectful stance towards each other. They are focused on their children and finding the best way to navigate their new dynamic as co-parents. Despite the challenges they have faced in their marriage, they are handling their separation with grace and dignity.
