Isla Fisher’s heartbreaking post-divorce confession after split from Sacha Baron Cohen

Aussie star Isla Fisher has made a shattering admission about her split from Sacha Baron Cohen, as she rebuilds a “new, healthy version” of her life.

Aussie star Isla Fisher has described her split from actor Sacha Baron Cohen as “the most difficult thing I’ve been through”.

The actress, who announced in a joint statement with Baron Cohen last April that they had separated in 2023 after being married for 13 years, opened up about heir split for the first time.

Fisher,currently starring in Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, told The Sunday Times they were now in the process of building a new version of their family for their three young children.

“It’s the most difficult thing that I’ve been through and I’ve learnt so much about myself in the process,” Fisher told The Sunday Times.

“I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents.”

The 49-year-old said: “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.”

When asked by The Sunday Times about whether she was dating, Fisher jokingly pretended to hyperventilate.

“That’s not on my to-do list,” she said, pointing out that her relationship with her ex-husband lasted 21 years.

“I’m not ready to think about any of that.”

Fisher, who grew up in Perth and now lives in London after leaving LA, last month dazzled fans at the Bridget Jones premiere, in her first major red carpet appearance since her split from Baron Cohen.

She has joined the cast of the blockbuster movie series as Bridget’s bohemian new neighbour.

Fisher is also starring in Dog Man, the animated adaptation of the hugely popular children’s graphic novels.

Last October, Fisher sold her $1 million, two-bedroom apartment in Sydney’s leafy Woollahra, which she originally purchased in 1995 as a teenager during her Home and Away years.

Announcing their split in 2023, she and Baron Cohen shared a quirky photo of themselves in tennis outfits and wrote, “After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our rackets down”.

The pair said they “have always prioritised our privacy and have been quietly working through this change.”

They also said they “forever share in our devotion and love for our children”.

The announcement came after allegations made about Baron Cohen by Rebel Wilson, who starred with him in the 2016 movie Grimsby.
