Isla Fisher's bold Instagram post speaks volumes after Sacha Baron Cohen divorce
Following the quiet end of their long-running marriage, Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen have finalised their divorce and it looks as though the Australian actress is embracing her single life already
Just days after finalising her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen, Isla Fisher has posted a very playful Instagram story featuring three shirtless firefighters cuddling puppies.
The muscled trio, dressed only in yellow fire pants, flashed grins, and abs at the camera. In the caption, Isla, 49, cheekily penned: 'Look at those cute puppies,' as many saw it as a nod to her newly single status.
Isla and her now ex-husband Baron Cohen officially ended their £120 million divorce on Friday. The former couple shared identical messages online: 'Our divorce has now been finalised. We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children. We ask for the media to continue to respect our children's privacy.'
The pair had quietly split in 2023 after over two decades together, later announcing their breakup in April 2024 with a humorous photo of themselves in tennis whites. The accompanying caption read: 'After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.
"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. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy.'
They first crossed paths at a Sydney party in 2001. Reflecting on their first meeting, Baron Cohen said: 'We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people at the party. I knew instantly. I don't know if she did.'
Though once seen as one of Hollywood's most enduring couples, they've now parted on peaceful terms. A source close to them noted: 'It's all sorted. Now Sacha and Isla both just want to get on with the rest of their lives – and focus on their family's well-being.'
When speaking about her separation in a recent interview, Isla said: "I've learned so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated, but we are committed and loving parents."
She told the Sunday Times: "Kids are the most important thing, and you want them to really feel safe and loved. We are building a new, healthy version of what our family looks like and putting as much care and love into it as possible."
But it looks as though Isla has a good network of friends around her to help with the transition of being married to being single. She went on to explain: "The women in my life have held me … the female relationships that I cultivated in our business, those women have been there for me. I'm actually going to get emotional."
"I'm sitting here today because of them. I've learned so much about the power of female friendship and I've just learned that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are. It's been this expansive learning curve," she added.

Beauty and the Geek star forced to deny 'upsetting' false murder rumour
A former contestant on Australian reality TV show Beauty and the Geek has had to clear up rumours that she was involved in a murder. On Thursday, a man's body was discovered at a property in the city of Port Lincoln after police and emergency services were called at around 3.25pm following reports of a small fire. A 34-year-old woman – who is believed to have known the man – was arrested at the scene and has been charged with murder, South Australia Police stated in a press release. Following the report, reality TV star Kiera Johnstone, 26, posted a lengthy statement on social media stressing that she was not the woman who was arrested. It had previously been reported in publications including Daily Mail Australia that the woman charged with murder is a former star of Beauty and the Geek. Johnstone, who won the show in 2021, wrote on her Instagram Stories: 'Hi everyone. A former contestant from Beauty and the Geek has been charged with a very serious crime. 'Although no names have been released, for reasons beyond my understanding, there has been speculation online suggesting that I am involved.' She said she wanted to be 'absolutely clear' that she was 'not involved in any way' and has not been charged with a crime. 'I have literally never even had a parking fine. The allegations being discussed have nothing to do with me, and the fact that I even need to say this is incredibly upsetting,' she continued. 'It's deeply disturbing to see people spreading false information, making assumptions and sharing screenshots. Johnstone said that she 'understands the internet can be quick to judge' but the online speculation had been 'damaging and invasive.' 'If you are part of the group fuelling this – sharing, gossiping or silently watching – I ask you to please stop,' she urged. 'This is not entertainment. This is a serious situation that involves real victims. you're literally sick if you think this is at all funny. More Trending 'As this has nothing to do with me, this will be the only time I speak on the matter. 'Thank you to those who reached out with kindness and common sense.' In the department's press release, South Australia Police outlined: 'Police believe both the man and woman are known to each other and there are no community safety concerns.' The woman has been refused bail and remains in custody. It has been reported that the man's cause of death has not yet been determined. Got a story?
