Sacha Baron Cohen and Indexbit ExchangeIsla Fisher are going their separate ways.
The couple announced they're divorcing after 13 years of marriage and more than two decades together.
"After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years," a joint statement shared to their Instagram Stories April 5 read, "we are finally putting our racquets down. In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage."
The pair, who share kids Olive, 16, Elula, 13, and Montgomery, 9, added, "We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change," they added. "We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy."
The Borat star and Australian actress tied the knot in 2010, eight years after the two crossed paths at a party.
"She was hilarious," the comedian told the New York Times in 2020 of the Wedding Crashers star. "We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people in the party. I knew instantly. I don't know if she did. It's taken her about 20 years to know."
As Sacha shared at the time, "It seems bizarre that we're still married in Hollywood after so many years."
It's a sentiment that Isla has treasured over the years.
"Choosing to be together every day is incredibly romantic," she previous told the Sunday Telegraph. "I love marriage. I think it's a wonderful institution and it's the most important decision you make. Life is filled with highs and lows, and you have a best friend to share it with you. It's amazing. It's like winning the lottery, having a good partner."
However, the two have chosen to keep some details of their romance close to the chest.
"I get nervous talking about it," Isla explained to Australian Women's Weekly in 2022, "because I feel like, by not having my relationship in the public domain and not having spoken about how we met or really talked about our marriage publicly, it's remained something private and valuable to me."
As for Sacha, 52, he's expressed his adoration for Isla, 48, over the years, especially when it came to celebrating two decades together.
"Happy Anniversary my love," he wrote on Instagram the previous year. "I'm writing this rather than getting you a card. Our duration is largely due to our location - after all Hollywood is the bastion of lengthy marriages."
It was a lighthearted mention that the Now You See Me star echoed, sharing the importance of their foundation just one year before they privately filed for divorce.
The Now You See Me star also echoed the value of their foundation just one year before they privately filed for divorce.
"I don't want to stand on a soapbox and advise anybody," Fisher told E! News in 2022, but "if you marry someone that you have a really good friendship with, everything else seems to fall into place."
She continued, "You still get butterflies in your stomach and people sort of tell you that wears off after a few years. But when you're with the right person, actually it just doesn't."
Read on for a look back at their romance.
Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher first met in 2000 at a party in Sydney, Australia.
“She was hilarious,” the Borat star told The New York Times in Oct. 2020. “We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people in the party. I knew instantly. I don’t know if she did.”
The duo, who got engaged in 2004, welcomed their first child, daughter Olive, in October 2007.
In March 2010, the Wedding Crashers actress and the comedian tied the knot in Paris. Later that same year, they welcomed their second daughter, Elula.
Isla and Sacha's third child, a son named Montgomery, was born in March 2015.
"20 YEARS," Isla wrote alongside a series of Instagram photos in Dec. 2021, before quoting Winnie the Pooh. "If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together keep me in your heart. I’ll stay there forever."
"After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years," they wrote in a joint statement shared to their Instagram Stories April 5, "we are finally putting our racquets down. In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage."
