Starting Fresh After Divorce
Reflecting on the months since her split with Sacha Baron Cohen, Fisher discussed the emotional journey of establishing her life anew. She shared how rewarding it has been to shape a nurturing home environment for herself and her children, embracing the challenges and changes as an opportunity for growth. Fisher, who spent over twenty years with Cohen before their breakup earlier this year, acknowledged that her routines have changed, preferring quiet nights at home rather than lavish gatherings. She has found contentment in the simple pleasures of self-care and relaxation after years of public attention and personal milestones.

Protecting Privacy and Prioritizing Motherhood
Despite being eager to discuss her personal growth, Isla Fisher remains cautious about exposing details of her children’s lives. Fiercely protective of her 18-year-old daughter, 15-year-old daughter, and 10-year-old son, Fisher has consistently emphasized the importance of safeguarding their privacy. In previous interviews, she has explained that while motherhood is her favorite subject, she deliberately keeps it out of the spotlight, believing that children deserve a sense of normalcy unburdened by public scrutiny, especially in a world dominated by social media.
“Motherhood is actually my favorite topic but I keep it private,”

A Look Back: Fisher and Cohen’s Journey Together
Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen’s relationship began two decades ago, after crossing paths at a party in Sydney, Australia. Cohen later recounted their instant connection:
“We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people in the party. I knew instantly. I don’t know if she did.”

The couple became engaged in 2004 and celebrated their wedding in Paris in March 2010. Together, they welcomed three children, forming a close-knit family over the years. By December 2021, Fisher publicly marked their twentieth anniversary with a heartfelt message, quoting a classic line from Winnie the Pooh as a tribute to their enduring bond.
“If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together keep me in your heart. I’ll stay there forever.”
