Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have called it quits after more than 20 years together.
The “Borat” star, 52, and the “Wedding Crashers” actor, 48, announced April 5 in joint statements in their Instagram stories that they jointly filed for divorce in 2023.
“After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down. In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage,” the pair wrote alongside pics of them dressed in tennis clothes.
“We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change,” they continued. “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 tied the knot in 2010 and share three children.
The former couple have kept both their marriage and their family largely out of the spotlight over the years.
In 2020, Baron Cohen opened up to The New York Times about how he was immediately smitten with Fisher when the two first crossed paths at a party in Sydney, Australia, in 2000.
“She was hilarious,” said Baron Cohen. “We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people in the party. I knew instantly. I don’t know if she did.”
“It’s taken her about 20 years to know," he added, laughing.
When the publication asked Baron Cohen how two "A-list stars" with kids have made their marriage work, the actor responded by saying "luckily" he and Fisher were "not A-list."
“I remember once in Hollywood, I was trying to avoid being photographed by paparazzi. I think I put something in front of my face when exiting a restaurant and this photographer shouted, ‘You’re only a B-lister!’ And I said to Isla, ‘Oh, my God, we’re B-listers! We made it! We’re B-listers," he joked.
He added that “it seems bizarre that we’re still married in Hollywood after so many years.”
The couple’s divorce news comes on the heels of Rebel Wilson accusing Baron Cohen of asking her to perform a sex act on him on the set of their 2016 film “The Brothers Grimsby,” which also starred Fisher.
Wilson writes about the alleged misconduct in her new memoir, “Rebel Rising,” released earlier this week, in a chapter titled “Sacha Baron Cohen and Other A-------.”
Wilson also alleged on social media in February that Baron Cohen had tried to stop her from writing about him in “Rebel Rising.”
A representative for Baron Cohen told NBC News that Wilson’s allegations were “demonstrably false.”
“While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of ‘The Brothers Grimsby,’” the representative said.
