The Real Reason Sacha Baron Cohen And Isla Fisher Divorced

Just days ago, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher announced they were divorcing, putting an end to their relationship of over 20 years. They posted a picture of the two of them on Instagram and captioned it with a somewhat unusual announcement.

"After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down," they wrote. Apparently, they had been separated for at least a few months but had decided to keep it a secret.

"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."

According to new reports from DailyMail, their marriage began to suffer "when the couple began house-hunting in London."

"For some years they had split their time between Los Angeles and the Australian city of Perth," the report explained. "However, Baron Cohen, 52, who grew up in Hammersmith and is very close to his family, was itching to return to London, while his wife was happier in her native Australia."

Spending so many years going back and forth is bound to wear down any relationship, and apparently, "The disagreement over where they lived is said to have taken its toll on the pair."
