Hollywood couple Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have announced the finalisation of their divorce in a joint statement overnight but have shared a commitment to one another
They were one of Hollywood’s greatest couples who appeared to stand the test of time, but things then took a sad turn as they have now announced the finalisation of their divorce.
In a joint statement Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher, shared on social media, the former couple announced: “Our divorce has now been finalised. 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 statement continued: “We ask for the media to continue to respect our children’s privacy.”
Despite their status within the acting industry, they vowed to maintain a level of secrecy as they had split in 2023 but kept it behind closed doors.
At the time, the pair were concerned about maintaining a level of privacy for their three children, Olive, 17, Elula 14 and Montgomery, ten. The couple announced their divorce in April this year but only just revealed their intention of co-parenting in a private and humble way.
When speaking about her separation in a recent interview, Isla said: “I’ve learned so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated, but we are committed and loving parents .”
She told the Sunday Times: “Kids are the most important thing, and you want them to really feel safe and loved. We are building a new, healthy version of what our family looks like and putting as much care and love into it as possible.”
But it looks as though Isla has a good network of friends around her to help with the transition of being married to being single.
She went on to explain: “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 actually going to get emotional.”
She added: “I’m sitting here today because of them. I’ve learned so much about the power of female friendship and I’ve just learned that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are. It’s been this expansive learning curve.
At the time of them announcing their divorce, the couple released a joint statement that read: “After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down. “
She went on to say: “In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change.”
The post was accompanied by a comedic picture of the pair while wearing tennis outfits.
And at the time of the announcement, many fans rushed to the social media platform ton express their views. On person said: “Sad to hear about Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher. Relationships can be challenging, but I hope they both find peace and happiness moving forward.”
And another said: ” Liza Minnelli has outlived Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher’s marriage. They’re divorcing after many years together.”
