Borat famously said “My wife,” but not anymore.
Sacha Baron Cohen, best known for his outrageous comedy such as “Borat” and “Ali G,” has split from “Wedding Crashers” star Isla Fisher, the former couple announced on Friday.
Both Cohen, 52, and Fisher, 48, posted the same photo of themselves posing in tennis outfits in their Instagram Stories.
In text overlaying the photo, they both wrote in their duplicate Stories, “After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down. 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 you respecting our family’s wish for privacy.”
Cohen and Fisher tied the knot in 2010, after first meeting in 2001.
Fisher, who is Australian, converted to Judaism, Cohen’s religion, in 2007.
They have two daughters and a son.
Sources told Page Six that the couple have been separated since 2023, and attended Oscars parties separately last month.
The news comes amidst Cohen’s conflict with Rebel Wilson, 44, who called him him a “massive a–hole” after working with him on “The Brothers Grimsby” in 2016.
While promoting her memoir, “Rebel Rising,” the “Pitch Perfect” actress told the Sunday Times of London that Baron Cohen made her feel “laughed at and degraded” on set nearly a decade ago
The Aussie performer previously claimed that Baron Cohen sexually harassed her during the making of the comedy.
She devoted a chapter of “Rebel Rising” to Baron Cohen, claiming that he humiliated her and and asked her to perform a lewd act on him, then tried to “threaten” her before her book came out.
In an Instagram Story, Wilson posted a picture of a binder and a purple pen while declaring, “I will not be bullied or silenced with high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers,” before dropping the bombshell.
“The ‘a – – hole’ that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is Sacha Baron Cohen,” she continued.
Baron Cohen denied all the claims.
