Comedian and actor Sacha Baron Cohen announced his split from wife Isla Fisher this week after nearly 14 years of marriage, RadarOnline.com can report.
Cohen, 52, announced the news on Friday on Instagram.
Cohen announced the news on via Instagram last week in an oddly tennis-themed post.
“After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down,” he wrote. “In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage.”
“We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change,” the Borat creator continued. “We forever share in our devotion and love for our children.”
“We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy,” Cohen concluded the shocking Instagram post.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the news of Cohen and Fisher’s sudden split this week came just days after comedian and actress Rebel Wilson accused Cohen of inappropriate behavior on the set of the 2016 film The Brothers Grimsby.
Wilson dubbed Cohen a “massive a------” and claimed that the Borat star threatened her not to share her accusations in her newly published memoir.
Cohen and Fisher’s sudden split this week came just days after comedian and actress Rebel Wilson accused Cohen of inappropriate behavior.
“The ‘a------’ that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen,” Wilson wrote last month ahead of Rebel Rising’s publication.
“I wrote about an a------hole in my book,” Wilson continued. “Now, said a------ is trying to threaten me.”
“He’s hired a crisis PR manager and lawyers,” she alleged further. “He is trying to stop press coming out about my book. But the book WILL come out, and you will all know the truth.”
Cohen later dismissed Wilson’s allegations and denied her shocking claims.
“While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of ‘Grimsby,” a rep for the comedian and actor responded.
