Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher finalize divorce
NEW YORK — Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have finalized their divorce, more than a year after announcing their shocking separation.
The 'Borat' comedian, 53, and 49-year-old 'Wedding Crashers' star confirmed the news on Friday in a joint statement shared to their Instagram stories.
'Our divorce has now been finalized,' Cohen and Fisher begin. '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.'
The actors similarly announced their split via Instagram Stories in April 2024, sharing a snap of themselves in tennis wear.
'After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down. In 2023, we jointly filed to end our marriage,' the couple confirmed, adding they'd been 'quietly working through' the split.
Cohen and Fisher first met in 2001 in Sydney, Australia, and got engaged three years later. They gave birth to their first child, daughter Olive, in late 2007 and tied the knot in Paris in March 2010. They welcomed their second daughter, Elula, later that summer. They also share son Montgomery, born in early 2015.
The news of their separation broke in the wake of Rebel Wilson's memoir, 'Rebel Rising,' in which the actress claimed Cohen pressured her into performing inappropriate acts on the set of the 2016 film 'The Brothers Grimsby' and even pulled his pants down in her presence.
Wilson then accused Cohen — who denies the claims — of 'bullying and gaslighting' when the Daily Mail quickly published previously unreleased footage from the apparent sex scene in question.
Amid a defamation lawsuit filed by producers, the 'Pitch Perfect' star she refused to 'be bullied or silenced by high-priced lawyers or PR crisis managers.'

WWE Hall Of Famer Believes Evolution 2 Should Be A Two-Night Event
This past Monday Night on Raw, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella made her return to WWE. During her promo, she put over the return of the All Women's Premium Live Event, Evolution. This will be the second edition of the PLE. A WWE Hall of Famer recently mentioned that he believes that the Evolution 2 Premium Live Event should be a two-night event, and for good reason. Advertisement The above-mentioned WWE Hall of Famer is none other than Booker T. During the latest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, he shared that since the women's rosters on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT are stacked, it makes perfect sense for the event to take place for two nights. 'It might have to be a two-night event because we got that much talent, the roster's stacked. I mean, it's got to be at least 20 matches,' Booker T said. 'I'm loving it, you know. I mean, like you said, we've been asking for this for a long time. I think the ladies deserve this.' [H/T He also mentioned that having an all-women's Premium Live Event does not mean that the guys are not as important. He sees this as an opportunity for WWE to show how strong it's women's division is. Advertisement 'I don't think it's taken away from the shine from the guys to let the ladies go out there and have that one night only,' he stated. 'I think it's only fitting for the talent that we have on that roster, just to show how big the women's division really is, from a star power perspective, as far as you know, how they could go out there and draw the house just like everybody else… It's not a contest between Raw and SmackDown, it's a contest between the men and women.'
