Isla Fisher Dodges Sacha Baron Cohen at Wimbledon Post-Divorce
WIMBLEDON DRAMA: Isla Fisher's Close Encounter with Ex-Husband Sacha Baron Cohen!
The champagne was flowing, the tennis was thrilling, and the drama was palpable at Wimbledon on Sunday as Isla Fisher narrowly avoided a face-to-face encounter with her ex-husband Sacha Baron Cohen! The Australian actress, 49, was seen arriving alongside her older brother Daniel at the prestigious tournament, just days after finalizing her divorce from the 53-year-old comedian.
The pair, who met in 2001 and tied the knot in 2010, announced they had finalized their whopping £120million (approximately $250 million AUD) divorce on June 14. In a joint Instagram post, they revealed: "Our divorce has now been finalised. We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children."
But it seems Isla was determined to keep the focus on her new chapter rather than rehashing old memories with Sacha. A source close to the situation spilled: "It's all sorted. Now Sacha and Isla both just want to get on with the rest of their lives and focus on their family's well-being." And judging by Isla's radiant smile at the Wimbledon event, she seems to be doing just that!
Isla, looking absolutely stunning in a cream ensemble, posed for photos alongside her dashing brother Daniel. The duo stuck close together throughout the evening, with Isla's handsome sibling warmly resting his arm around her waist as they beamed for camera snaps against the media wall.
But it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for Isla, who has been vocal about her struggles following the breakdown of her marriage to Sacha. Speaking earlier this year, she revealed: "It's the most difficult thing that I've been through and I've learnt so much about myself in the process." Despite the challenges, Isla remains committed to co-parenting their three children with Sacha.
So what was behind Isla and Sacha's whirlwind romance? The couple first met at a party in Sydney, Australia, back in 2001. According to Sacha, it was love at first sight – or rather, love at first laugh! "We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people at the party," he recalled. "I knew instantly. I don't know if she did."
Fast-forward to their fairytale wedding in 2010, and it seemed like Isla and Sacha were living their best lives. But behind closed doors, things weren't quite as rosy. In a shocking move, the couple announced their separation last year, posting a cheeky photo of themselves wearing tennis whites alongside the caption: "After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down."
And now, it seems Isla is focused on moving forward and leaving the drama behind. As she stepped out at Wimbledon last week in a glamorous floral dress, she looked every inch the confident, carefree singleton.
But amidst all the glamour and glitz, there was one person noticeably absent from Isla's VIP guest list: Sacha Baron Cohen himself! It seems the comedian was spotted chatting with a guest in the stands during the Gentlemen's Single Final at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club – just yards away from his ex-wife!
Despite the awkward encounter, it seems both Isla and Sacha are committed to keeping things amicable for the sake of their children. And who knows? Maybe one day they'll even reunite on the tennis court for a friendly game or two!
