Despite going through a divorce, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher are proving that a little humor and kindness can still exist between exes. The former couple, who were married for 13 years before deciding to part ways, recently shared a lighthearted moment online, showing that there’s no bad blood between them.
On Valentine’s Day, Isla Fisher posted a stunning picture of herself wearing a pink dress on Instagram. Seizing the moment, Baron Cohen playfully commented, “Stunning photoshoot.” Fisher, not missing a beat, responded with a simple but warm “Thank you.” This short but sweet interaction quickly caught fans’ attention, as it marked their first public exchange since news of their split became public. Many admired how the two were handling their breakup with grace and even a touch of playfulness.
When announcing their divorce, Cohen and Fisher chose to keep things lighthearted, using a tennis metaphor to describe the end of their relationship. In a joint statement shared on social media, they said, “After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down.” They went on to explain that they had quietly filed for divorce in 2023 and had been navigating the transition in private. While their romantic relationship had come to an end, they emphasized that their love and dedication to their children remained unchanged. They also requested privacy as they continued to co-parent.
The pair’s love story began back in 2001 when they first met. After three years of dating, they got engaged and later tied the knot in 2010. Over the course of their marriage, they built a life together and welcomed three children.
Speaking about the changes in her life post-split, Isla Fisher reflected on the experience in an interview with The Sunday Times. She shared, “I’ve learned so much about myself in the process,” adding that she never imagined her family would be separated. However, she reassured that despite the split, she and Cohen remain committed and loving parents to their kids.
Even after going their separate ways, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher continue to prioritize their children’s well-being and maintain a friendly rapport—proving that not all breakups have to be messy or bitter.
