Remember that adorable couple Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen? Well, it looks like their fairytale romance has officially ended. Isla just spoke out for the first time since their shocking split in April, and her message is full of feels.
Taking to Instagram, Isla shared a sweet pic of herself outdoors, thanking fans for their “kindness and support.” While the post seems simple, it’s the first public acknowledgment from Isla since the news broke.
Recall, the former Borat co-stars announced their divorce last month after 13 years of marriage. Their joint statement, quirky as ever, used a tennis metaphor to describe their split: “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 statement also emphasized their commitment to their children and their desire for privacy. While Isla and Sacha were known for keeping their relationship under wraps, her 2022 interview with E! might offer a clue about what went wrong.
Back then, Isla gushed about the importance of friendship in marriage. “You still get butterflies…but when you’re with the right person, it just doesn’t” wear off, she said. Was the spark missing for Isla? We may never know for sure, but one thing’s clear: Isla is surrounded by love and support as she embarks on this new chapter. Sending her all the best!
