Isla Fisher makes shock move after split as she ‘ditches Australia for the UK’

Isla Fisher is embracing a major change in her life after announcing her surprise split from her husband Sacha Baron Cohen.

Isla Fisher is already embracing a big change following her split from Sacha Baron Cohen, and it’s starting at home.

Fisher, who currently resides in Australia, is believed to be gearing up to ditch her home country for new beginnings in the UK.

According to an insider, Fisher is currently house-hunting in London, and has a not too shabby budget of around $13 million dollars.

A source close to Fisher told Daily Mail: “It’s all about the kids and what is best for them; there seems to be no drama at all. Judging by the size of the budget, the family will now be based in London. But Isla is going to keep her place in Australia.”

Fisher was pictured in Hampstead, North London, last month. She’s currently still in the city, as she’s busy filming the new Bridget Jones sequel.

Fisher and British star Baron Cohen, 52, announced their split earlier this year, revealing in matching statements that they had quietly ended their marriage after nearly 13 years.

The former couple, who share three children – daughters Olive, 17 and Elula, 13, and son Montgomery, nine – shared the sad news alongside a picture of themselves in tennis outfits and holding racquets.

“After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down,” the caption read.

“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.”

Baron Cohen and Fisher first got together back in 2001 and wed during an intimate ceremony in Paris in 2010.

For a long time, they were considered to have one of Hollywood’s most solid marriages, but in the wake of their split, insiders have since claimed that the relationship had been “shaky” in recent years.

According to the Daily Mail, the family’s decision to relocate back from Los Angeles to Fisher’s hometown of Perth amid the pandemic in 2021 had put added strain on the pair, with Baron Cohen reportedly finding it “difficult” to adjust.

Despite their split, it’s believed the pair remain on amicable terms and intend to remain close in order to co-parent their young children.
