It comes just weeks after Fisher and British star Baron Cohen, 52, announced 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.
