LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA:Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher's divorce is reportedly expected to take an ugly turn because of their $75 million fortune, including several properties they share, sources have revealed.
On top of that, Fisher's new interview has left the comedian “furious”, where she talked about “female relationships,” the Daily Mail reported.
The estranged couple, who got married in 2010 and have three children together, announced that they were no longer together in April 2024.

They said, “After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down. In 2023, we jointly filed to end our marriage.”
“We have always prioritised our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change. We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy,” the duo added.
The shocking announcement came just weeks after Rebel Wilson called Cohen an “a**hole” and accused him of harassing her during the shooting of the 2016 film ‘The Brothers Grimsby’.
Now months forward, things have only worsened between Cohen and Fisher as the Daily Mail citing a source reported that “it's war,” and that “any remaining veneer of civility has gone.”

The divorce battle took an uglier turn when Isla Fisher, 49, seemingly took a dig at the ‘Brüno’ actor while speaking with a Sunday supplement magazine to promote the latest ‘Bridget Jones’ movie.
She said, “The women in my life have held me. The female relationships that I cultivated in our business, those women have been there for me. I'm actually going to get emotional.”
“I'm sitting here today because of them. I've learnt so much about the power of female friendship and I've just learnt that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are. It has been this expansive learning curve,” the ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’ actress added.
Sacha Baron Cohen ‘felt utterly betrayed’ by Isla Fisher
Though Cohen reportedly liked the Instagram post of the front cover, he was left “furious,” according to his friend.
The pal explained, “It felt like a blatant statement that she was on side with Rebel, the whole women sticking together thing was obvious and that is what he drew from the situation and it has made him very cross and upset.”
“Sacha was fuming when he read that, he felt utterly betrayed,” they claimed.
The friend also added, “It might have been thinly veiled but it was enough to upset Sacha a lot. Isla very much appeared to be setting her stall out. There may have been some issues before, but the allegations about how he made Rebel feel were a major factor – and it appears she wants anyone in the industry who will listen to know how she feels.”
“They have always been very private people so Isla speaking out was a massive shock to him, and a clear sign she isn't going to be the doting wife anymore,” the actor's friend asserted.
