After two decades of companionship and nurturing three children, the union of Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher has reached its conclusion. The decision for divorce follows a tumultuous period, marked by allegations from Rebel Wilson against Cohen, accusing him of intimi-ation.
Sacha Baron Cohen, the 52-year-old British actor renowned for his roles in films such as "Borat" (2005), and Isla Fisher, the 48-year-old Australian actress known for her performances in "Wedding Crashers" (2005) and "Now You See Me" (2013), formally declared their separation after over 13 years of marriage. They released a joint statement urging the public to respect their family's privacy during this challenging time.
Their love story began in 2001 when they crossed paths at a lively party in Sydney, long before either of them soared to fame. Their connection blossomed, culminating in an engagement in 2004 and a wedding in 2010. Over the years, they welcomed three children into their lives.
In synchronized Instagram posts adorned with a snapshot depicting the duo in tennis attire, Cohen and Fisher revealed their decision to part ways. They emphasized their unwavering commitment to their children's well-being while beseeching for privacy as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
Echoes of their enduring love reverberate in Cohen's recollection from a 2020 interview with The New York Times, where he described the moment he knew Fisher was destined to be his life partner.
The announcement of their divorce surfaces amidst accusations leveled by Rebel Wilson, their co-star in "Counterintelligence Agent," alleging Cohen's threatening behavior upon discovering Wilson's intent to expose his purportedly toxic conduct during the film's production.
Although acknowledging the importance of confronting injustices, Cohen and Fisher's representatives have refuted Wilson's claims, citing a wealth of corroborative evidence including contemporaneous records, film footage, and testimonies spanning the entirety of "Counterintelligence Agent's" production timeline.
