Sasha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have decided to break up after their 14 years of marriage. The couple shared their official statement on their Instagram story.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher's divorce statement
The couple shared their photo in Tennis attire and wrote, "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. 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."
Notably, Sacha Baron Cohen & Isla Fisher's divorce was announced just a few days after Rebel Wilson very publicly accused Baron Cohen of se*ually harassing her and making lewd demands while they worked together on the 2016 comedy 'The Brothers Grimsby.'
As per a UK media report, Rebel Wilson's claims, made in her memoir, and vehemently denied by him, were a catalyst for Isla, 48, to publicly reveal the break-up.
For the unversed, Wilson played Sacha’s girlfriend in the 2016 action-comedy movie Grimsby. In her memoir named Rebel Rising, released in the US on Tuesday, she reportedly said it 'felt like Sacha Baron Cohen had se*ually harassed me” during filming in South Africa.
The UK media report quoted a source saying, "Rebel’s book was a catalyst in Isla deciding to announce this to the world. She’s got her own career and reputation to worry about. Those close to her said it was starting to get embarrassing with all of the allegations that were spilling out of Rebel’s book. So she felt as though it was the right thing to do to inform everyone of their decision."
It is pertinent to mention here that neither Sasha Baron Cohen nor Isha has come out publically to address whether their relationship took a toll due to the allegations.
