English actor Sacha Baron Cohen and his wife Isla Fisher have confirmed their divorce after 13 years of marriage. The couple, who share three children, first met in 2001 and got engaged in 2004.
They tied the knot in 2010 and celebrated their 20th anniversary in December 2021. The news of their split comes shortly after Rebel Wilson’s revelation about Cohen in her upcoming memoir.
“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,” they said in statements shared on their Instagram accounts on April 5.
“We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change,” they added. “We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy.”
