Isla Fisher's Hilarious Wimbledon Quip About Ex-Sacha Baron Cohen: Who’s Watching the Kids?
SCANDALOUS SPLIT: ISLA FISHER AND SACHA BARON COHEN'S TENNIS MATCH OF A LIFETIME!
In a shocking turn of events, former flames Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen simultaneously attended day 14 of Wimbledon, leaving fans and followers alike wondering what secrets were shared behind the scenes. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star, 49, arrived at the prestigious tournament on Sunday to watch the men's singles final with her older brother Daniel, while her ex-husband, 53, sat mere feet away, chatting with a male companion.
Isla, looking radiant in her tennis-white ensemble, complete with a cream blazer layered over an elegant pleated midi skirt, was spotted sipping champagne alongside fellow actress Lily Collins in the Agapanthus Suite. Meanwhile, Sacha seemed unfazed by the proximity of his former spouse, chatting away with his mystery man as if they were old pals.
But don't worry, fans – it's not all bad news! Isla showed that things are still amicable between her and Sacha by poking fun at their co-parenting situation. In a hilarious quip shared on thescholarlynote.com, she jokingly asked her ex: "Hang on? Who's watching the kids? @sachabaroncohen" – leaving fans giggling and wondering if these two are more than just friendly exes.
For those who may be living under a rock, Isla and Sacha met in 2001 and tied the knot nine years later, welcoming three adorable children along the way. However, their fairytale romance came to an end last year when they announced their separation, citing a desire to focus on their family's well-being.
But here's the kicker – these two used tennis as the medium for their split announcement! In April, Isla and Sacha simultaneously posted a photo of themselves posing in matching tennis outfits, captioned: "After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down." The pair also confirmed their divorce had been finalized last month, with another joint statement that read: "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."
As the saying goes – when life gives you lemons, make lemonade! And so, Isla spoke candidly about her break-up earlier this year, admitting that it was "the most difficult thing that I've been through" but also learning valuable lessons about herself in the process.
Meanwhile, back at Wimbledon, Italian player Jannik Sinner stole the show with an enthralling four-set victory over defending champion Carlos Alcaraz – a sweet revenge for the 22-year-old who just five weeks ago lost a marathon Roland Garros final to Alcaraz despite having three championship points.
But the real pièce de résistance was the women's singles final, where Polish athlete Iga Swiatek dominated Amanda Anisimova with an impressive score of 6-0, 6-0 – a double bagel that sent shockwaves through the tennis world!
As the newly-minted champion left the court, Princess Kate consoled a tearful Anisimova with words of wisdom: "Keep your head high." And while Isla and Sacha may have their own drama unfolding behind the scenes, it's clear that they're both committed to co-parenting their children with love and respect.
