Isla Fisher proved there’s no bad blood between her and Sacha Baron Cohen post-divorce.
The 49-year-old actress took to social media on Sunday, July 13, with a screenshot of an article uploaded by the Daily Mail. The headline referenced both Fisher and her ex-husband being at Wimbledon in London on the same day, claiming they “narrowly” avoided each other.
“Hang on? Who’s watching the kids?” Fisher captioned her Instagram Story, tagging Baron Cohen, 53.
Fisher was married to Baron Cohen for 14 years before the couple announced their separation in April 2024. They share three kids.
“After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down,” their joint Instagram statement read at the time. “In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change.”
They concluded, “We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy.”
The former couple have remained amicable in the public eye following their split, with Fisher posting a Father’s Day tribute to Baron Cohen in June.
While the exes weren’t photographed together at Wimbledon over the weekend, the outing came one month after their divorce was finalized.
“Our divorce has now been finalized. We are proud of all we’ve achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to coparenting our wonderful children,” read a joint statement shared via social media on June 13. “We ask for the media to continue to respect our children’s privacy.”
Earlier this year, Fisher made a rare comment about embracing single life after her split from Baron Cohen.
“It’s the most difficult thing that I’ve been through, and I’ve learnt so much about myself in the process,” she shared during a February interview with the Times of London. “I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents.”
She also confessed at the time that dating is not top of mind.
“That’s not on my to-do list,” Fisher said. “I’m not ready to think about any of that.”
Instead, she’s been focusing on the future of her career. (Fisher has roles in the upcoming movies Now You See Me 3 and Spa Weekend.)
“I’m trying to readdress my ambition and refocus and get reinspired for my career,” the actress added.
