Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher finalise divorce
Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have officially ended their marriage after 14 years. They finalised their divorce more than a year after announcing their split. The pair shared identical statements on Instagram on Friday. They confirmed the news and emphasising their ongoing commitment to co-parenting their three children. The couple wrote, 'Our divorce has now been finalised. We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, according Tribune. Sacha and I remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children. We ask for the media to continue to respect our children's privacy'. This respectful tone highlights their desire to keep their family matters private, a stance that will resonate with audiences who value family privacy and dignity. Sacha Baron Cohen, 53, and Isla Fisher, 49, first met in Sydney in 2001 and married in 2010. They share two daughters and a son. They announced their separation in April 2024, revealing they had filed for divorce in 2023. The couple likened their relationship to a 'long tennis match lasting over twenty years,' now finally coming to an end. The divorce settlement reportedly amounts to $75 million, which converts to roughly R 1.5 billion. This reflected the significant assets they accumulated during their time together. Despite the large sum, sources say the process has been amicable and smooth, with both parties focusing on their children's wellbeing. An insider told Page Six in February that 'all divorces have their challenges, but things have gone pretty smoothly with Isla and Sacha,' highlighting their mutual respect and dedication to parenting. In a candid interview with The Sunday Times , Fisher described the divorce as 'the most difficult thing I've been through' but also spoke about the personal growth it brought. 'I never imagined my family being separated, but we are committed and loving parents,' she said. As they move forward separately, both remain dedicated to their children's happiness and privacy.
