In April 2024, the 'Borat' actor and the 'Wedding Crashers' bombshell shocked fans when they announced that they had split in 2023 after 13 years of marriage.
Cohen and Fisher share three children: Olive, born in 2007; Elula, born in August 2010; and Montgomery, born in March 2015.

While they remained tight-lipped during their $75 million divorce, tensions reportedly grew between the two following Rebel Wilson's explosive claims in her autobiography that Cohen allegedly had sexually harassed her while filming their 2016 comedy 'The Brothers Grimsby.'
Wilson also alleged that he tried to block her memoir from being published.
Cohen denied her allegations, calling them 'demonstrably false claims' that were 'contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during, and after the production of 'The Brothers Grimsby.''

Following the accusations, Fisher allegedly set off her ex when she spoke with The Sunday Times to promote 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.'
While she did not mention Cohen, the actress highlighted the importance of female empowerment — a move that allegedly didn't sit well with her former husband.
'This comment left Sacha furious,' a friend of the comedian told Daily Mail in February.

'It felt like a blatant statement that she was on side with Rebel, the whole women sticking together thing was obvious and that is what he drew from the situation and it has made him very cross and upset,' the insider explained.
'Sacha was fuming when he read that,' they added. 'He felt utterly betrayed.'
Sources also alleged that Wilson's allegations against Cohen were 'very much' what caused their marriage to crumble.

'There may have been some issues before, but the allegations about how he made Rebel feel were a major factor – and it appears she wants anyone in the industry who will listen to know how she feels,' an insider stated.
They also noted the stars 'have always been very private people so Isla speaking out was a massive shock to him, and a clear sign she isn't going to be the doting wife anymore.'

'After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are putting our racquets down,' Cohen and Fisher said in April 2024. 'In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritised our privacy and have been quietly working through this change.'
They concluded, 'We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy.'
Cohen and Fisher met in 2001 but didn't marry until 2010.

In 2022, the 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' actress explained why she held their marriage close to her chest.
'By not having my relationship in the public domain and not having spoken about how we met or really talked about our marriage publicly, it's remained something private and valuable to me,' Fisher stated. 'I just think it's nice to keep some things for yourself.'

"I can multi-task, especially during TIMEOUTS" - Stephen A. Smith lies while addressing viral photo of him playing solitaire during Game 4 of 2025 Finals
"I can multi-task, especially during TIMEOUTS" - Stephen A. Smith lies while addressing viral photo of him playing solitaire during Game 4 of 2025 Finals originally appeared on Basketball Network. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith was at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to watch Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. But while he was supposed to pay close attention to what was happening on the basketball court in order to analyze the game correctly, he was caught playing solitaire on his phone while the game was underway. Advertisement When the photo went viral, Smith immediately took to X (formerly Twitter) to defend himself by saying he was merely looking for something else to do during a timeout. "Yep! That's me," wrote Smith. "Who would've thought… I can multi-task. Especially during TIMEOUTS! Hope y'all are enjoying the NBA Finals. This is going 7 games now, peeps!" Caught in a lie Another netizen roasted Smith with a video of the incident — it was clear that he was playing the card game on his phone while the basketball game was underway. Stephen A. then posted a second tweet — a screenshot of his mobile phone screen, trying to show that he was half playing games and half watching the Finals. Kevin Durant, one of the players who has been beefing with Smith for a long time, couldn't help but react by reposting the photo on his Instagram account. Smith infamously called Durant's signing with the Golden State Warriors in 2016 the "weakest move" by an NBA superstar. Last year, he also questioned Durant's ability to lead a team and the superstar forward went on to call Smith a "clown." Smith vs. Haliburton Most recently, Smith beefed with Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton after the latter criticized the NBA media after Game 3. Advertisement The Pacers star called out the NBA talking heads, saying most of them don't know anything about basketball. Even if Haliburton did not target a specific name in his criticism, Smith assumed that he was talking about him. Instead of answering Hali's comments with arguments, Smith boasted about his 30-year broadcasting career and warned Haliburton that many have criticized him, but no one has ever shut him down. "Unfortunately, a lot of guys are not as fortunate as I am from this standpoint," Smith said. "They have to talk to you. I don't get paid to talk to you. I get paid to talk about you. Whether I speak or whatever it is, you don't stop this train. It is a locomotive because, you know, we've been No.1 for 13 straight years." Unfortunately, Haliburton hasn't reacted to the video of Smith playing solitaire during Game 4 of the Finals. After all, he has more important things on his mind. Advertisement The Pacers allowed the Thunder to steal Game 4 111-104 after a late comeback led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The series is now tied at two games apiece.

She explained: "Hi lovers, As some of you may know, a week ago we finished the UK leg of the Tension Tour. I made it over the finish line but unfortunately have succumbed to a viral infection (Hello laryngitis). "I've tried my best to recover fast to start our next run of shows on Monday but I am afraid it will take me some days to be well enough to get back on stage and perform my best for you."
