Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen finalise their divorce

Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen have announced a major update in their reportedly ‘messy’ divorce proceedings.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have finalised their divorce just a year after they announced their shock split to the world.

The pair released a shared statement to their Instagram accounts on Friday where they told fans that they are “proud” of everything they managed to achieve together as a couple during their marriage.

“Our divorce has now been finalised,” the exes both shared.

“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.”

Details regarding their finalised agreement remain unclear at this time.

Earlier this year, reports emerged that the pair were “at war” as they worked out the division of their £60 million (A$119,084,160) fortune.

According to the Daily Mail, Fisher’s candid remarks about their split in an interview with The Sunday Times had left her ex feeling “utterly betrayed”.

Speaking about how she’d gotten through the break-up, Fisher said: “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 sitting here today because of them. I’ve learnt so much about the power of female friendship and I’ve just learnt that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are. It’s been this expansive learning curve,” she continued.

During her deeply personal Times interview, Fisher also admitted that the divorce was “the most difficult thing” she’d been through, and that she’d “learnt so much” about herself in the process.

“I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents,” she explained, adding that her parents had an amicable split when she was nine years old, and that was the “blueprint” for her own situation.

“That’s the dream,” Fisher told the publication.

Both Fisher and her British ex live in London, where they co-parent their three children.

The pair first shared that they were ending their relationship after nearly 14 years of marriage last April.

“After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down,” the two stars said in a joint statement at the time.

“In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritised our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change.”

“We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy,” the message closed.

The announcement came after reports had emerged they were living separate lives and had been asked to comment.
