Isla Fisher hints Sacha Baron Cohen split not related to Rebel Wilson's book

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher announce split after Rebel Wilson's misconduct allegations, emphasizing privacy and love for their children.

Sacha Baron Cohen has been facing a series of challenges lately, from misconduct accusations by Rebel Wilson to the recent announcement of his split from wife Isla Fisher. However, despite the timing, these two events appear to be unrelated.

In statements shared on their Instagram stories on April 5, Fisher and Baron Cohen announced their breakup, revealing that they had filed for divorce in 2023 after a long relationship of over twenty years. The couple emphasized their commitment to privacy and their dedication to co-parenting their children, asking for respect for their family's wishes during this difficult time.

According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, Fisher and Baron Cohen had been living separate lives since last year, prioritizing their family's well-being before making their split public. The couple, known for their privacy, wanted to focus on their children and give them time to adjust before the news broke.

The announcement comes in the wake of Wilson's revelations in her memoir about her experience working with Baron Cohen on the film The Brothers Grimsby, in which Fisher also starred. Wilson alleged that Baron Cohen had pressured her into filming nude scenes and even attempted to coerce her into performing a lewd act on camera. Baron Cohen denied these claims, citing evidence and eyewitness accounts from the production period.

Baron Cohen and Fisher, who met in 2001 and married in 2010, have three children together: daughters Olive, 16, and Elula, 12, and son Montgomery, 9. Despite the challenges they are facing, the couple remains committed to their family and navigating this difficult time with grace and privacy.
