Isla Fisher is officially single and reflecting on marriage.
The Now You See Me: Now You Don’t actress, 49, shared a statistic about marriage on social media approximately one month after she announced her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen had been finalized.
“For all those men who say ‘Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?’ Here’s an update for you, Nowadays, 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig, just to get a little sausage,” Fisher reposted to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, July 15.
She and the Borat Subsequent Moviefilm star, 53, announced on June 13 that their divorce was finalized. They first revealed in April 2024 that they had jointly filed to end their marriage the year before.
The former couple were married for 13 years and share three children. Despite their breakup, Fisher and Cohen have stated that their relationship is amicable.
“Our divorce has now been finalised,” they wrote via their Instagram Stories in June. “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. We ask for the media to continue to respect our children’s privacy.”
After getting engaged in 2004, Fisher and Cohen welcomed two daughters and one son. Their firstborn arrived on Oct. 17, 2007; however, the actors have refrained from posting their children on social media and have kept them out of the public eye.
Just days after the pair revealed their divorce was finalized, the Confessions of a Shopaholic star wished Cohen a happy Father’s Day online.
“And forever….. Happy Father’s Day to the best father our children could hope for @sachabaroncohen,” her June 16 Instagram Stories post read.
It included a photo of Cohen holding one of their children when they were an infant. Cohen smiled at the camera, while a large red heart emoji was placed over the baby’s face to conceal its identity.
Months before, the Brüno star left a friendly message underneath Fisher’s Valentine’s Day post.
