Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher are on good terms as they hash out their $120 million divorce, despite rumours the exes’ split has taken a nasty turn.

“All divorces have their challenges, but things have gone pretty smoothly with Isla and Sacha,” an insider exclusively told Page Six.

“Their announcement was well coordinated and struck the right tone [with] their tennis photo, they both have made their kids a priority.”

Our source shared that Cohen, 53, also recently “liked” Fisher’s Instagram post about her interview with the Sunday Times on February 8 “as the most recent sign of support for her.”

In the interview, the Wedding Crashers star, 49, emotionally spoke out about her breakup with the actor after 13 years of marriage.

Speaking about how she’s gotten back onto her feet, Fisher told the outlet, “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.

According to the Daily Mail, Cohen felt “utterly betrayed” over his estranged wife’s comments, especially after they quietly broke up around the time when actress Rebel Wilson alleged in her 2024 memoir, Rebel Rising, that she felt “humiliated” and was sexually harassed by the actor when they worked on their 2016 film Grimsby.

At the time, Baron Cohen vehemently denied the Pitch Perfect star’s “demonstrably false claims.”

“This comment left Sacha furious,” a source told the Daily Mail. “It felt like a blatant statement that she was on side with Rebel, the whole women sticking together thing was obvious and that is what he drew from the situation and it has made him very cross and upset.”

The insider alleged that Wilson’s allegations against Fisher were partially why he and the mother of three called it quits.

“They have always been very private people so Isla speaking out was a massive shock to him, and a clear sign she isn’t going to be the doting wife anymore,” the source told the outlet.

The insider alleged that it’s now “war” between Cohen and Fisher and “any remaining veneer of civility has gone.”

Page Six exclusively learned that the actors quietly filed for divorce in 2023 before announcing their split in April 2024.

Cohen and Fisher met in 2001 and got engaged three years later.

They tied the knot in March 2010 after Fisher converted to Cohen’s religion of Judaism and have welcomed three kids: Olive, 17, Elula, 14, and Montgomery, 9.
