'Cute': Isla Fisher shares a very telling post on social media just days after finalising her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen

Sky News AU6 days ago

Isla Fisher has shared a very telling photo on social media just days after she finalised her divorce from actor Sacha Baron Cohen.
The Australian actress, 49, took to Instagram on Monday to share a sultry snap of three tanned and shirtless firefighters holding puppies.
The sculpted men wore nothing but a pair of yellow firefighter pants and boots.
They held the pups up to their shoulders, showing off their chiseled abs and arms.
'Look at those cute puppies,' Fisher cheekily wrote.
The Confessions of a Shopaholic actress' telling post could suggest she has begun to cast her eye around and is ready to find love again.
It comes after she and Baron Cohen, who won a Golden Globe Award for starring in Borat, announced they had finalised their £120 million (AU$251 million) divorce in a joint statement released via social media on Friday.
'We are proud of all we have achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children,' the statement read.
'We ask for the media to continue to respect our children's privacy.'
Amid their divorce, Fisher and Baron Cohen, 53, co-parent their three children, Olive, 18, Elula, 15, and Montgomery, 10, while living in the UK.
The actress shared a Father's Day tribute to her ex-husband on social media on Tuesday, showing that the pair remain very much friends.
'Happy Father's Day to the best father our children could hope for," she wrote over a photo of the Borat star lovingly holding one of their children.
Despite the rosy picture, the Australian actress previously opened up about the challenges of co-parenting after the couple separated.
'It's the most difficult thing that I've been through, and I've learnt so much about myself in the process,' Fisher told The Sunday Times in February.
'I never imagined my family being separated, but we are committed and loving parents.'
Fisher and Baron Cohen first met at a party in Sydney in 2001, and they tied the knot in Paris in 2010 after Fisher converted to Judaism.
The pair announced their separation in April last year, sharing a joint statement on social media.
"After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down," they wrote alongside a photo of themselves in tennis whites.
They went public with their split just days after Australian actress Rebel Wilson accused Baron Cohen of sexually harassing her during the filming of Grimsby in 2016, in which Fisher also had a role.
A spokesperson for Baron Cohen denied the claims in Wilson's autobiography Rebel Rising, calling them "demonstrably false" and "defamatory".
Fisher's career in the spotlight remains unwavering despite her personal life.
In February, she led the voice cast on the animated film Dog Man and appeared in a cameo role in the new Bridget Jones sequel.
She has also recently consolidated her property portfolio after selling off an apartment in Sydney's ritzy Woollahra.
It is understood the former Home and Away actress no longer owns property in the country after the sale in Woollahra.

Surprise Aussie Orlando Bloom sighting amid Katy Perry split rumours

Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Katy Perry's longtime partner Orlando Bloom has been spotted here in Australia, amid rumours the couple's relationship is on the rocks. Perry is nearing the end of the Australian leg of her Lifetimes tour, with shows in Perth last night and tonight before she finishes her Oz jaunt with four shows in Adelaide. Earlier this month and several shows into the Australian tour, reports surfaced claiming that Perry's nine-year relationship with actor Bloom was all but done. 'It's over,' a source alleged to Page Six. 'They are waiting till her tour is over before they split.' The pair have been engaged since 2019, and welcomed daughter Daisy Dove the following year. But while Bloom wasn't present for the earlier shows of the Australian visit, it appears he's now flown to Perth to join Perry and their daughter on tour. Orlando Bloom takes a walk in Perth yesterday, daughter Daisy on his shoulders. Picture: FAMO / BACKGRID He was snapped walking through the Perth CBD yesterday ahead of Perry's first show in the city, with their daughter on his shoulders. Perry, however, was nowhere to be seen. A source in People made the somewhat unlikely claim that poor sales of Perry's latest album 143 and its accompanying singles were partly to blame for the alleged breakdown of her relationship. Bloom walked the streets with an entourage – but there was no sign of Katy. Picture: FAMO / BACKGRID Perry has been touring Australia since the start of the month. Picture: David Clark 'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' the outlet quoted a source as saying. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.' Other reports alleged that tensions surfaced between the couple over Perry's controversial all-female space flight back in April. A source alleged to The Sun that Bloom was 'frustrated' and 'disappointed' with his partner's decision to go ahead with the brief joy ride into space. Are a flop album and a five-minute space flight really to blame for this couple's alleged problems? Perry looked to be enjoying herself before Bloom joined her on tour, partying at a gay club night held in her honour last week in Melbourne. Perry cheered on the drag shows and mingled with patrons during the 'Poof Doof' party at Melbourne's Chasers nightclub last week, and even addressed the crowd to make a big announcement. X SUBSCRIBER ONLY 'Because you are my chosen family, a mother must provide for her children,' she told the heaving crowd in the club. 'So as a provider, I would like to open the bar for one hour. The drinks are on me, baby.' Perry and Bloom had earlier split for a year in 2017 before getting back together. The pop star addressed the past break on the podcast Call her Daddy last year, saying, 'We weren't really in it from day one. He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot real work.' Originally published as Surprise Aussie Orlando Bloom sighting amid Katy Perry split rumours

Prince William's huge call on royal roles for Harry's kids

Any hope Prince Harry and Meghan had that their children might one day play an active role in the royal family appears to be fading fast after an insider revealed it's highly unlikely heir to the throne Prince William would ever agree. And it's not looking good for sidelined Prince Andrew, either. While US-based Harry and Meghan stepped down from royal duties in 2020's 'Megxit', they retained their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles and made sure children Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, officially held their HRH titles. On King Charles' ascension to the throne they became Prince and Princess, with Harry changing their surnames on their passports to Sussex — reportedly so he could leave the door open to them to make a royal return if they wanted to when they grew up. But sources close to William suggest it is unlikely Harry and Meghan's children will be welcomed as working members for the royal family under his reign. Meghan Markle has shared images of Prince Harry with Archie and Lilibet celebrating Father's Day Credit: Meghan Markle/instagram / supplied As the rift between Harry and William and the rest of the senior royals drags on, The Times reports the Prince of Wales is now 'indifferent' to the bitter feud with his brother. 'What has struck me the most recently is that he just doesn't mention it at all. It used to be that the family stuff was taking up a lot of space in his head; it was a very close relationship, and he was very upset,' an insider told The Sun. 'But he's not letting it get to him at all any more. It is a change. It's sad, but it's a much healthier space for him to be at.' The same source also suggested that a return to being a working royal for the Duke of York was doubtful. The disgraced Prince Andrew, 65, was stripped of his royal titles and roles by the late Queen Elizabeth in 2022 due to the allegations and links to Jeffrey Epstein. Virginia Giuffre accused Andrew of sexual abuse on three occasions, including when she was 17 years old. As a royal outcast, Prince Andrew has always vehemently denied the accusations, although he later paid Ms Giuffre a reputed £12 ($AUD25 million) million settlement. It has been reported that Prince William views his uncle as too much of a 'risk' and 'threat' to The Firm. King Charles has also made it clear that attempts have been made to evict his younger brother from the 31-room Royal Lodge, despite their 75-year lease agreement. Prince William has reaffirmed his commitment to modernising the monarchy, revealing that he intends to approach his future role as King with what he calls a 'smaller 'r'' version of royalty, focused on empathy, impact, and community-driven change. The 43-year-old heir said he hopes to lead 'differently for (his) generations', in one of his most recent candid interviews to date. William emphasised a need for 'empathetic leaders' in today's world. He said he and his wife, Princess Catherine, are committed to causes that create meaningful, long-term change. 'I'm trying to do it differently,' he said. 'It's more about impact philanthropy, collaboration, convening, and helping people … I really care about what I do.' The prince also reflected on the personal challenges of the past year, calling 2024 'probably the worst year of my life' as he navigated the cancer battles faced by both his wife and father, King Charles. William, who also founded Homewards' initiative to combat homelessness and launched the Earthshot Prize to tackle environmental issues, said his focus was firmly on delivering real-world results. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Harry and Meghan are continuing to expand their business ventures. Meghan has launched her first alcoholic beverage — a rosé wine — under her American Riviera Orchard brand, which will go on sale on July 1. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

Royal commentator Ingrid Seward told The Sun that while the video was 'charming,' it was 'hypocritical' given the couple's previous calls for privacy. Meghan made headlines following a recent podcast appearance on Aspire with entrepreneur Emma Grede, where she was asked if she would rewrite her public narrative. 'Yes,' she replied. 'I would ask people to tell the truth.' The comment has drawn commentary from royal watchers, with Royal Exclusive panellists questioning the sincerity of the remarks and describing the tone as lacking authenticity. Still, Meghan remained measured in her response, adding that advice from close friend Serena Williams helped her stay grounded. 'A lie can't live forever,' she said. 'Eight years is a long time, but not forever.'
