A fancy dress party in tennis outfits, and suddenly the shocking news came! Isla Fisher shocked her fans when she revealed that she and Sacha Baron Cohen have decided to end their marriage after 20 years of being together.
The most interesting thing is that they used the same photo to celebrate their wedding anniversary a year ago. Now the same photo has become a medium to announce a new beginning!
Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher divorce: A year-old secret finally revealed
In April last year, Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen made a big revelation about their 20-year-old marriage. They shocked fans by saying, “After more than 20 years of tennis, we are putting our rackets down.” In 2023, they quietly filed for divorce, choosing to keep the change in their lives private. They also made it clear that they will always maintain love and devotion towards their children.
The news shocked their fans, but it was nothing new for their close friends. For the past year, the PR team of the couple was constantly making sure that the news did not make it to the media. Journalists were repeatedly being stopped by saying that the rumors were baseless. But when Sacha and Isla themselves made it public, they made it clear that there is no bitterness between them.
However, this divorce announcement came at an interesting time. Just a few days ago, Australian actress Rebel Wilson claimed in her autobiography that the Borat star sexually assaulted her during the filming of the 2016 film The Brothers Grimsby. Rebel also alleged that Sacha tried to prevent the publication of her book.
Sacha Baron Cohen has vehemently denied all these allegations, but the controversy has brought even more buzz around their divorce. Some believe that the controversy could be a major reason behind their separation, while others consider it a mere coincidence.
Now that the marriage is over, the question arises as to what will be the future of the two stars? Will the feud deepen further, or was the divorce truly amicable? Only time will tell how this relationship will go down in history.
Sacha and Isla: From love to war
It’s war now!
Nine months on, it’s clear that the love between Sacha and Isla is completely gone.** The remaining civility in the relationship has turned into a bitter war. A close source said plainly, “It’s not just a divorce anymore; it’s a war.”
Growing dispute over £60 million property
According to sources, tensions are mounting in the divorce process over the division of £60 million worth of property, which includes several luxury homes, investments, and other expensive assets. Insiders say that this legal battle, which started in 2023, will not end even by the end of 2024.
Isla’s statement caused uproar
The situation worsened even more last weekend when Isla broke her silence on her personal life. During the promotion of the new film ‘Bridget Jones’, she said in an interview,
“Women have contributed a lot in my life… I learned who I am outside of the partnership and what my values are. This whole process has been a deep learning experience for me.”
Sacha’s resentment and hidden anger
As soon as Sacha got the news of this interview, he was filled with anger. However, he tried to show the outside world that he was not bothered by it. Sacha even ‘liked’ Isla’s magazine cover post, but deep inside he considered it a strong jibe against him.
Rebel Wilson controversy: The real reason?
According to sources, the allegations made by Rebel Wilson were the main reason for the breakup. The long-running dispute between Rebel and Sacha also had a deep impact on Isla and Sacha’s relationship. This dispute escalated so much that Isla completely distanced herself from her husband of 15 years.
What will happen next?
Sacha is feeling betrayed, and Isla is now moving forward with her career and her own identity. This has become not just a legal battle but also an emotional confrontation. This battle may get even deeper in the coming months, and it may also affect the professional and personal lives of both.
Sacha, Isla and Rebel controversy: Truth, allegations and confrontation
Sacha and Isla have always been guarded about their private lives, but Isla’s sudden outspokenness came as a huge shock to Sacha. It was a sign that she no longer wanted to be a part of the relationship they had cherished for over a decade.
The shocking and controversial claims made by Rebel Wilson added fuel to the fire. She alleged that while shooting for ‘Brothers Grimsby’, in an intimate scene, Sacha made a strange request to her to “put his finger in her ass,” which she described as uncomfortable and humiliating.
Rebel said that the incident was a deep shock for her, which left her mentally and physically broken. She admitted that the humiliation and stress led her to adopt unhealthy habits, including an addiction to binge eating.
Furthermore, she also claimed that Sacha tried to force her to undress, despite the ‘no nudity’ rule. These allegations were completely denied by Sacha and were categorically false.
He said in an official statement that “We understand the importance of speaking out, but these allegations are completely false. The script, footage made during filming, and multiple witnesses testify to the contrary.”
Following this controversy, an attempt was also made to ban the inclusion of these claims in Rebel’s autobiography ‘Rebel Rising’, but this attempt was unsuccessful. A particular chapter of this book was banned in Australia while in the UK. *Edited in.*
Meanwhile, the timing of Sacha and Isla’s divorce announcement has also come into question. ** Some reports claimed that the announcement was deliberately timed to coincide with the release of Rebel’s book.* * However, Sacha dismissed the speculation and said that they had already split long ago.
Isla seems to be trying to distance herself from the whole controversy, which is perhaps natural for her. After getting married in 2010, they have always managed to keep their relationship and family private.
They had an unwritten rule that they would never talk about the subject publicly for the sake of their three children (aged 17, 14 and ). But now that the controversy has reached their family, it will be interesting to see what turn this story takes next.
Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen: Love, controversy and new beginnings
Rebel Wilson’s allegation and Sacha’s shock
Rebel Wilson, who worked with Sacha Baron Cohen in the 2016 film The Brothers Grimsby, recently accused him of sexual harassment. Her friends say that Sacha is extremely shocked by this claim and is wondering why Rebel took this step now. A close source said, “For Sacha and Isla, raising children is a priority. In such a situation, this controversy can create more problems for them.”
Isla Fisher’s bold reinvention
Isla did a photoshoot for Sunday Times Style magazine, in which she made headlines by wearing a short black playsuit and Christian Louboutin stiletto heels. This shoot is being considered a sign of her new avatar. An insider said, “She’s no longer Mrs. Sacha Baron Cohen; she’s Isla Fisher. And approaching 50, she wants a fresh start.”
From meeting in Sydney to marriage
Isla and Sacha first met at a Sydney party in 2001. Isla, who is the child of Scottish parents and grew up in Perth, was best known for her role as Shannon Reed in Home and Away, while Sacha gained fame with roles such as Ali G and Borat.
After getting engaged in 2004, Isla converted to Judaism in preparation for marriage, and the couple got married in a private ceremony in Paris in 2010. They used the excuse of it being Sacha’s father’s 70th birthday to keep the wedding a secret. The couple has three children and also built a lavish estate in Los Angeles.
Sydney to Perth, then back to London
In 2020, the family moved from the US to Sydney. But the very next year, they moved to Perth to avoid Sydney’s strict COVID restrictions. However, it was difficult for Sacha to be away from Hollywood, so they returned to North London in 2023.
Sacha is now believed to have moved out of the family home, and Isla is settling into being a new single mom.
Glimpse of new life
Isla is now enjoying her new life. She has shared glamorous pictures of herself on Instagram, including girls’ nights with Naomi Watts and Michelle Dockery. Recently, she appeared in a bright red frock at the premiere of Bridget Jones.
In addition, she went to the US to promote her new animated film, Dogman, in which she has done a voiceover alongside Pete Davidson. Last year she also attended Paris Fashion Week.
Now that she has moved on, her old photos, like her anniversary post of her playing tennis with Sacha in 2022, seem like things of the past. In that post, she wrote, “If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart; I’ll always be there.”
