Sacha Baron Cohen and wife Isla Fisher announce they are divorcing after 14 years of marriage

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher are divorcing after 14 years of marriage. 

In the joint statement posted to their individual Instagram accounts on Friday, the couple, who have been together for two decades, said: "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. We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change."

"We forever share in our devotion and love for our children," they noted. "We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy."

The duo tied the knot on March 15, 2010.

"She was hilarious," Baron Cohen told The New York Times of first meeting Fisher. "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."

The couple got engaged in 2004 and were married six years later. They share three children together. 

"Choosing to be together every day is incredibly romantic," Fisher told the "Sunday Telegraph" in 2020. "I love marriage. I think it's a wonderful institution and it's the most important decision you make. Life is filled with highs and lows, and you have a best friend to share it with you. It's amazing. It's like winning the lottery, having a good partner."

However, years earlier, Fisher admitted her husband can be somewhat "embarrassing."

"I cannot tell you how embarrassing he is in social situations," she told the Daily Mail in 2012. "To him, there’s no difference between the awkward gaffes he deliberately makes as a comic, and the terrible faux pas he innocently commits as my husband."

The news of their divorce filing comes shortly after Cohen found himself at the center of controversy when Rebel Wilson claimed he "bullied" her on the set of the 2016 film "The Brothers Grimsby."

The actress first revealed she had written about an "a--hole" with whom she previously worked with in an Instagram post shared on March 15.

"When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, ‘Yeah I have a no a--hole policy. Means like, yeah I don’t work with a--holes.' I was like, ‘Oh yeah, that sounds sensible, logical,'" Wilson, who later revealed she was speaking about Cohen, said in the shared video. 

"But then it really sunk in what they were meaning by that – older people in the industry – because I worked with a massive a--hole, and yeah, now I definitely have a ‘no a--holes policy,'" she further explained. "The chapter on said a--hole is chapter 23. That guy was a massive a--hole."

The "Pitch Perfect" actress further detailed her experience in her memoir "Rebel Rising." Cohen has vehemently denied her claims, and now, Wilson is insisting she's telling the truth, saying she was "humiliated and degraded as a person" on the movie set.

"That was something that happened 10 years ago, and obviously I've moved past it now, but it was my worst professional experience," she admitted in an interview on "Today" on April 1.

Wilson also claimed that since her allegations about Cohen's behavior have been getting attention, "I've had a lot of women reach out and say that they've had similar experiences with this guy."

A representative for Cohen denied her claims, telling Fox News Digital, "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.’"
