Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher are going their separate ways.
The two actors announced their breakup on Friday in a joint post on their Instagram Stories.
“After a long tennis match that lasted over 20 years, we are finally putting down the rackets. In 2023 we have jointly ended our marriage,” the two wrote in their respective posts, playing a coordinated tennis match. He posted a photo of himself wearing the outfit.
“We have always prioritized privacy and have been quietly working on this change,” the statement reads. “We forever share our dedication and love for our children. We sincerely thank you for respecting our family's desire for privacy.”
Baron Cohen and Fisher married in 2010 after a six-year engagement. They have two daughters and a son.
The two first met in Sydney around 2000. Baron Cohen told the New York Times in 2020 that he found his future wife “funny.”
“We were at a really big party and my girlfriend and I bonded over taking the microphone away from other people at the party. I knew right away. I don't know if she did it or not.” he said with a laugh. “It took her about 20 years to find out.”
Although the couple was often in the public eye as Hollywood actors, Fisher has previously said he would keep their marriage out of the spotlight.
“I'm nervous to talk about this because we haven't been public about our relationship, how we met, we haven't really talked publicly about our marriage, and that's something that for me… “Because I feel like it remains something private and valuable,” she told The Australian Women's Weekly in 2022.
“I don't know if it's a secret,” she said. “But if you have a shared ability to find humor in the sharpness of life, you're bound to connect…If not, I think it's good to keep things for yourself.”
Baron Cohen was recently in the news after actor Rebel Wilson claimed that he was pressured to appear nude in the 2016 film The Brothers Grimsby and made other lewd demands. ing.
A representative for Baron Cohen responded to the “Pitch Perfect” actor's allegations in a statement shared with the media last month.
“While we recognize the importance of speaking out, these patently false claims are based on contemporary documents, film footage, and evidence that existed before, during, and after the production of 'The Brothers Grimsby.' “This is categorically refuted by extensive and detailed evidence, including eyewitness accounts,” the spokesperson said.
