Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen reportedly fought bitterly before deciding to split after 20 years together. The Borat actor, 52, and fellow
Actor Isla, 48, shocked the showbiz world this week when they announced they had secretly filed for divorce last year. They married in 2010 and had been together for six years before tying the knot; they also share children Olive, 16, Elula, 13, and Montgomery, nine. While on the outside their marriage appeared as strong as ever, with romantic holidays away and PDAs on
Social Media , they revealed in a statement on Friday that had secretly ‘jointly filed to end our marriage’ in 2023. They noted that throughout their relationship they had ‘always prioritised our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change,’ adding they would always have a shared ‘devotion’ to their children. Now a source has claimed that the pair had explosive arguments in the lead-up to their split, as they butted heads over their careers and parenting duties. An insider told Us Weekly that they had witnessed the couple having a ‘heated argument’ in public at a
Hollywood A-lister hotspot. They claimed the couple ‘furiously argued’ over their conflicting schedules, from filming to promotional tours, and childcare for their three kids. ‘Multiple’ sources told the outlet that the pair’s marriage had been rocky for a long time before they filed for divorce last year. Another source claimed Isla and Sacha had been ‘living separate lives’ since last year, but wanted to wait and let their children deal with the news before making their separation public. They claimed the split had ‘nothing to do’ with recent allegations in Rebel Wilson’s memoir, Rebel Rising, which accused Sacha of inappropriate conduct on the set of their 2016 film Grimsby. Sacha has denied all the allegations through his lawyers.

We have always prioritised 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.’ Ali G star Sacha first met Isla at a party in 2001 – which was a few years before they both gained international fame as Hollywood stars. They then got engaged in 2004 and welcomed their first child three years later, with Isla having reportedly converted to Judaism ahead of their subsequent wedding. In August last year, the pair shared photographs from a romantic holiday abroad, where they kissed on the beach and took in sunsets together.
