When Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen announced their divorce after more than 20 years and three kids together in 2023, the two seemed more than amicable.
Indeed, to announce the split, the pair posted a photo in goofy tennis gear on Instagram captioned, “After a long tennis match… we are finally putting our racquets down.”
But in a revealing new interview, the Wedding Crashers actress shared that life after divorcing the Borat star, 53, hasn’t been fun and games. “I’ve had a tough couple of years, but I’m making it through,” the 49-year-old told Bazaar.

Becoming suddenly single was “challenging,” she went on, adding, “I’m trying to remind myself of my new identity as somebody outside of a partnership.” To that end, she has five projects in the works, including Spa Weekend, which costars Leslie Mann and Anna Faris.
“It’s so fun to be a group of women, none of us being [just] the wife or girlfriend,” she told the mag. “Or eye rolling while the guy gets to do the joke.”
