Isla Fisher and her ex-husband Sacha Baron Cohen both attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party, just days after she described their divorce as feeling ‘freeing.’
Recent Divorce Reflections
The couple, aged 50 and 54 respectively, announced their separation at the end of 2023 and finalized the divorce in June 2025. At the TIME Women of the Year Gala in Hollywood on March 10, Fisher shared her positive outlook when asked how she was doing.
‘I’m good. I’m so great,’ she said. ‘I turned 50. I was so nervous about that… but it has felt so freeing. I feel so liberated. There’s something about being divorced where you just feel like you could just do anything.’
Fisher, a mother of three, added that divorce acts as a ‘get out of jail free’ card. ‘You could just do anything, and someone would be like, “Oh, don’t worry. She’s divorced.” It’s so cool.’
Party Appearances
Fisher turned heads in a strapless satin gown featuring an intricately beaded floor-length skirt, paired with statement earrings. Her red hair styled in a glamorous bouncy blowout completed the look.
Baron Cohen opted for a white blazer over a black top and trousers, finished with patent dress shoes.
Post-Divorce Lives
Three months after confirming the divorce, reports linked Baron Cohen to 27-year-old model Hannah Palmer. They met at director Taika Waititi’s 50th birthday party in Ibiza in August 2025. Friends of Baron Cohen maintain they are not dating.
In contrast, Fisher focuses on her career and rebuilding her life. She revealed the challenges of setting up her new home as a single woman, admitting she cried when her furniture arrived. ‘I’m enjoying this new version of my life,’ she said. ‘I don’t need to party in my house anymore. I love to get in the bath. I’ll light some candles, bring in my laptop and put on something on Netflix. That’s as exciting as it gets.’
Fisher credits the Carl Jung therapeutic method—exploring unconscious forces, dreams, symbols, and archetypes—for her healing. She avoided overthinking the split, instead saying ‘yes’ to work opportunities and reinventing her life after a ‘power pause’ focused on parenting.
‘It’s amazing to me that at this point in my life I’ve got this opportunity, in a positive way, to reinvent what the last act of my life is now from the ground up,’ she explained. Co-parenting now allows time for both family and career.
In early 2025, Fisher stated she is not ready to date. ‘That’s not on my to-do list. I’m not ready to think about any of that,’ she told The Sunday Times. Her parents’ harmonious separation when she was nine serves as her model. ‘It was very harmonious… they were very inclusive of each other. That’s the dream.’
The exes mutually ended their 14-year marriage, vowing to prioritize privacy.
