Isla Fisher Shares Shady Post About Marriage After Her Divorce From Sacha Baron Cohen Was Finalized

Isla Fisher took to her Instagram Stories to make a brutal dig at the necessity of marriage.

“For all the men who say, ‘Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?’ Here’s an update for you,” a quote shared to the actress’ Instagram Story on Tuesday, July 15, read.

“Nowadays, 80% of women are against marriage,” the post continued. “Why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.”

The social media post comes more than one month after Fisher, 49, and ex-husband Sacha Baron Cohen, 53, announced that their divorce had been finalized.

“We are proud of all we’ve achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to coparenting our wonderful children,” the exes wrote in a joint statement shared via Instagram Stories on June 13.

The Borat actor and the Wedding Crashers actress met in 2001 and tied the knot in 2010. Throughout their more than 20-year relationship, they welcomed three children together, daughters Olive and Elula, and their son, Montgomery. They announced their separation in April 2024.

Fisher called the split “the most difficult thing” she’d ever been through in an interview with Sunday Times, but noted that it’s caused her to discover “so much” about herself.

“I never imagined my family being separated,” she added, “but we are committed and loving parents.”

Fisher also praised the women in her life who were there for her in challenging moments.

“I’m sitting here today because of them,” she explained. “I’ve learned so much about the power of female friendship and I’ve just learned that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are. It’s been this expansive learning curve.”

Since their split, Fisher has reportedly been “letting her hair down” and “hitting the party scene,” according to In Touch.

“It’s the first summer she’s felt truly carefree and happy in longer than anyone can remember,” a source revealed. “She’d never call it a divorce party, but that’s pretty much what it is and everyone’s happy to see her finally enjoying herself again.”

“The consensus among her inner circle is that this is healthy for her and exactly what she needs after so many years of stress with Sacha,” the source added. “Isla tried so hard, for so long, to be the perfect wife and really put all her needs to the side to make him happy.”
