Isla Fisher, the 48-year-old actress, recently took to her Instagram Stories to express gratitude for the support she has received from fans following her separation from husband Sacha Baron Cohen. In a post on Tuesday, May 14, Isla shared a photo of herself with a caption that read, “Thank you for all your kindness and support.” Despite the acknowledgment of support, Isla did not mention Sacha or their split in her post.
The couple announced their divorce five weeks ago, coinciding with the release of Rebel Wilson’s memoir, “Rebel Rising,” which included allegations of sexual harassment against Sacha. In their joint statement on Instagram Stories, Isla and Sacha revealed that they had filed for divorce in 2023 after a marriage that lasted over 20 years. They emphasized their commitment to privacy and their love for their children, whom they have chosen to shield from the public eye.
Prior to their separation announcement, excerpts from Rebel’s memoir circulated on social media, with the actress alleging that Sacha had pressured her to film a sexual scene without her consent for their comedy film, “Grimsby.” However, an unnamed producer from the production refuted these claims, stating that Rebel had approved the scene and was treated with respect and empowerment throughout the filming process.
Despite the controversy surrounding their split, Isla and Sacha continue to navigate their separation privately while focusing on co-parenting their children. The couple’s dedication to maintaining their family’s privacy remains a top priority as they move forward with their individual lives.
