After more than a decade of marriage and three children together, Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen have officially parted ways, and Fisher is finally speaking out, not with a press conference, but with a pointed quote that speaks volumes.
In June 2025, the couple confirmed the finalization of their divorce via a joint Instagram statement. However, it wasn’t until July 15 that Fisher subtly shared her thoughts on love and marriage in a post that quickly caught attention.
A Sharp Quote Sparks Conversation
The Now You See Me star took to her Instagram Stories, reposting a bold message that reads:
“For all those men who say, ‘Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?’ Here’s an update for you: Nowadays, 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig, just to get a little sausage.”
While the quote wasn’t authored by Fisher, her decision to share it, just weeks after her divorce was finalized, feels intentionally timed and reflective.
Though the post had a humorous tone, it sparked conversations about modern relationships, expectations, and the challenges women face within marriage.
Respect, Co-Parenting, and Quiet Grace
Despite the headline-making split, both Fisher, 49, and Cohen, 53, have handled the breakup with care and mutual respect.
“Our divorce has now been finalized,” the former couple shared in June. “We are proud of all we’ve achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children. We ask for the media to continue to respect our children’s privacy.”
They were married for 13 years after getting engaged in 2004 and share three children, whose identities they’ve kept out of the spotlight.
Fisher even posted a heartfelt Father’s Day message for Cohen on June 16, just days after their divorce announcement:
“And forever….. Happy Father’s Day to the best father our children could hope for @sachabaroncohen”
Their digital interactions remained warm earlier in the year. On Valentine’s Day, Cohen left a comment on Fisher’s glamorous photo shoot post:
“Stunning photoshoot.”
she replied:
“Thank you 😊.”
