Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have finalised their divorce just a year after they announced their shock split to the world.
The pair released a shared statement to their Instagram accounts on Friday where they told fans that they are 'proud' of everything they managed to achieve together as a couple during their marriage.
'Our divorce has now been finalised,' the exes both shared.
'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. We ask for the media to continue to respect our children's privacy.'
Details regarding their finalised agreement remain unclear at this time.

Earlier this year, reports emerged that the pair were 'at war' as they worked out the division of their £60 million (A$119,084,160) fortune.
According to the Daily Mail, Fisher's candid remarks about their split in an interview with The Sunday Times had left her ex feeling 'utterly betrayed'.
Speaking about how she'd gotten through the break-up, Fisher said: 'The women in my life have held me … the female relationships that I cultivated in our business, those women have been there for me.
'I'm sitting here today because of them. I've learnt so much about the power of female friendship and I've just learnt that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are. It's been this expansive learning curve,' she continued.
During her deeply personal Times interview, Fisher also admitted that the divorce was 'the most difficult thing' she'd been through, and that she'd 'learnt so much' about herself in the process.
'I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents,' she explained, adding that her parents had an amicable split when she was nine years old, and that was the 'blueprint' for her own situation.
'That's the dream,' Fisher told the publication.

Both Fisher and her British ex live in London, where they co-parent their three children.
The pair first shared that they were ending their relationship after nearly 14 years of marriage last April.
'After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down,' the two stars said in a joint statement at the time.
'In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritised our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change.'
'We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy,' the message closed.
The announcement came after reports had emerged they were living separate lives and had been asked to comment.

Dancing With The Stars: Harry Garside trading the ring for the dancefloor as gloves come off
Muhammad Ali once famously said he floated like a butterfly and Harry Garside will be hoping his feet do the same. The boxer is moving from the ring to the dance floor in the new season of Dancing With The Stars in what he's hoping will be a knockout performance. He's previously worn dresses and miniskirts on red carpets and has taken up ballet, so, like his fast-moving hands, the 27-year-old Olympic bronze medal winner's next move is often impossible to see coming. 'I refuse to be put in a box,' Garside told The Sunday Times. Garside is hoping to lead the next generation of men by example. But leading doesn't necessarily equate to strength — to him, it means being willing to show vulnerability. 'You manhood is flexible right now, and I like that,' Garside said. 'You can be the stoic, strong person, then you can also be the person who's had an average month. And you can admit you've had an average month; maybe you just need someone to lend a hand and help you pick up a few things that you're struggling to manage at that moment.' Unsurprisingly, it's not just sporting champions like LeBron James and Serena Williams from whom the boxer draws inspiration. It's Hungarian childhood development expert Gabor Mate, and anti-racism keynote speaker Diya Khanna whom Garside says help him to 'develop my thoughts.' As for nurturing his dancing skillsr, Garside has teamed up with Siobhan Power, who is no stranger to working with athletes having been paired with Ben Cousins last season. And he isn't the only sportsman looking to win, with fellow Olympian Susie O'Neill and former AFL star Trent Cotchin gunning for the title. Despite his lean physique — competing in the 63.5kg Olympic weight class — the boxer said he was 'struggling to move my body' after the first week of rehearsals, and had bucked the competition's fitness trend. 'Everyone says you lose weight on the show, but I ended up putting on weight for some reason. I don't know why,' Garside joked. While he hoped his prior ballet training would give him a leg-up, unfortunately, the fighter 'hadn't seen much improvement' come from it. Garside revealed he got the idea of doing ballet after hearing boxing superstar and dual Olympic gold medallist Vasiliy Lomachenko adopted traditional Ukrainian dancing to improve his footwork. 'It definitely helps me in my boxing, doing ballet — it didn't help me too much for the Latin and ballroom, and that's OK,' he smiled. With colour, fashion sense and self-expression encouraged on the show, the question some fans might instead be asking is: Will Garside be donning a dress on the dance floor? 'I'm not so sure,' he teased. 'Who knows what you'll see.'

How To Train Your Dragon: Nick Frost on nerd culture, Harry Potter reboot and Robbie Coltrane
Don't miss out on the headlines from Movies. Followed categories will be added to My News. Less than a month out from the start of filming for the rebooted Harry Potter series and new Hagrid Nick Frost says he's already impressed the people he most wanted to impress. The UK actor, currently starring in the live action remake of How To Train Your Dragon, is taking the role over from the late Robbie Coltrane, who played the part of the kindly bearded giant in the eight Harry Potter films that were released between 2001 and 2011. Though he never met him in person, Frost says he was a huge fan of Coltrane growing up in the 1970s and 1980s – and apparently the feeling was mutual. 'I loved the fact he was massive and angry and that's how he began, as a kind of people's poet in a way,' says Frost over Zoom call from London. Nick Frost, who will replace Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid in the Harry Potter reboot, were mutual admirers. 'And I love that working-class element he brought to everything he did. I had never met him, but my best friend Danny knows his family very well. 'And apparently his kids phoned my mate Danny to say 'We are so happy that Nick got the role of Hagrid and that Dad was a really big fan of his'. So that to me kind of closes a book in terms of 'my job is done' because I feel like they're the only people I had to really impress.' Frost joins established actors including John Lithgow (Professor Dumbledore), Janet McTeer (Professor McGonagall) and Johnny Flynn (Lucius Malfoy) in the hugely anticipated Max series – as well newcomers Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Staunton and Alastair Stout, who play Harry, Hermione and Ron – and he says he's 'excited' to finally get started. Nick Frost as Gobber in Universal Pictures' live-action How to Train Your Dragon, written and directed by Dean DeBlois. 'We're like a month out from shooting and – being a fan and being a massive fan of fantasy – getting to go into a place where they are designing wands and the Sorting Hat and here's some owls, it's like 'this is amazing',' he says. 'It's just not lost on me and every time I go in and see a tiny bit more development being done and it's just amazing.' With last year's role voicing a droid in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, his current role as Gobber in How To Train Your Dragon and Harry Potter to come, Frost says 'there's not a theme park alive that I couldn't just bowl on into free of charge'. Frost says he based his role of Gobber, voiced by Scottish comedian Craig Ferguson in the three hit animated films, on hardman British actor Ray Winstone – not that he knows it. 'I haven't told Ray that,' he says with a laugh. 'I'll let him see the film first and see if he likes it. If he likes it, I'll say, 'I based it on you, Ray'.'

Picture: Getty Images Playing the one-legged, one-armed trainer of dragon-fighters also involved a touch of method acting for Frost. He was just about to go in for surgery on his bad knee, but director Dean De Blois told him to hold off until shooting had wrapped so he could hobble around for real on his peg leg. 'The arm was great,' Frost adds. 'Every day they they'd knock on the trailer and there'd be an array of five different hands and they're like 'well, what do you fancy for the day?' There was a beer mug and a massive axe or a stone lump or a hammer and it was great getting to pick what I wanted each day.' How To Train Your Dragon is in cinemas now.
