'In my dating era': Isla Fisher opens up about new single life amid shock divorce from Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen

Sky News AU11-07-2025
Aussie movie star Isla Fisher has shared a major update about her dating life amid her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen days after making a rare appearance at Wimbledon.
Fisher, 49, and Baron Cohen, 53, announced their separation in April last year via a joint statement on social media.
"After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down," the former couple wrote alongside a photo of themselves in tennis whites.
Fisher, a prolific Instagram user, often shares small hints about her new single life via her humorous Instagram story posts.
'Me in my dating era trying to be normal,' she wrote via Instagram on Friday alongside a video of a cockatoo appearing to dance to Earth, Wind & Fire's disco hit September.
The funny clip comes days after Fisher stepped out looking glamorous in a plunging floral dress for day one of the Wimbledon tennis grand slam.
Fisher looked positively ageless in a Monique Lhuillier lemon-printed corset dress that retails for a whopping $4,703.
The Wedding Crashers star accessorised the pricey outfit with Jimmy Choo sandals, an Aspinal of London mini leather Paris bag and a pair of aviator sunglasses.
Fisher and her ex-husband confirmed they had finalised their reported AU$250 million divorce last month.
'Our divorce has now been finalised,' the pair wrote in a message published jointly on their social media accounts.
'We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children.'
The former couple, who share three children, previously split their time between homes in Sydney, London and Los Angeles after their 2010 wedding in Paris.
'It's the most difficult thing that I've been through and I've learnt so much about myself in the process,' Fisher said earlier this year in a rare interview.
'I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents.'

Steve Smith hit a stunner. Then the sandpaper jokes started

One of the most spectacular shots of Steve Smith's long career has become the excuse for English cricket to make yet another sandpaper joke at his expense. Playing for Welsh Fire in the Hundred overnight, Smith carved a sublime lofted square drive from the bowling of England seamer Josh Tongue that flew flat into the stands at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. The shot drew awed responses from a raucous crowd and broadcasters, but not so much from the Hundred's official social media accounts. On Instagram, the competition posted a picture of a damaged white Kookaburra ball with the caption 'How did Steve Smith damage this ball?' While the post allowed viewers to swipe to see Smith's shot off Tongue, the comments were inevitably spiced with replies of 'sandpaper' and 'same old Aussies, always cheating'. Since the Hundred's inception, its social media accounts have tried to earn a reputation for edginess, as has become the custom among numerous sporting competitions in Australia and around the world. But the Smith jibe is a reminder that this is the year of an Ashes bout, during which Australia's vice captain can expect more reminders of the infamous events in Cape Town back in 2018. Smith's comeback summer in England in 2019 was one of the greatest Test series performances, with 774 runs in four Tests and twin hundreds at both the Edgbaston and Old Trafford matches – he missed Headingley with concussion after being struck on the back of the head by Jofra Archer at Lord's.
