Isla Fisher Opens Up About Divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen: 'It's Been a Challenging but Rewarding Experience'
After announcing their separation in 2024, Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen went on to finalize their divorce in June this year. The actress, who shares three children with the "Borat" star, has now opened up about her post-divorce life in London.
In a recent interview with Elle Decoration, Fisher revealed that she was emotional when receiving furniture for her luxurious new home in London, marking her first time as a single woman living on her own. The actress confessed to having a "bit of a cry" due to the significance of this milestone, which came after the 2023 passing of her father and the end of her marriage.
However, Fisher has also expressed that she's been enjoying the process of creating a new life from scratch, both emotionally and practically. She told Elle Decoration that trying to navigate her singlehood as an empty-nester has been "challenging" but deeply rewarding.
In terms of her home life, Fisher prefers a peaceful atmosphere, with no partying necessary. Instead, she enjoys relaxing in the bath, lighting candles, and watching Netflix on her laptop. The actress even admitted that sleeping is sometimes the only place to get some peace.
Fisher's priorities have shifted since her divorce, with motherhood taking center stage once again. She has stated that keeping a close eye on her children from her new home is essential, as well as having space for their frequent visits from Greece and outdoor areas where she can spend time barefoot in the garden or beach, reminiscent of her Australian upbringing.
While it's clear that Fisher is focusing on rediscovering herself outside of her partnership, she's also embracing this new chapter with excitement. In a July interview with Harper's Bazaar Australia, she expressed optimism about the future and shared, "I'm really excited for the next chapter."
The actress has been using this time to refocus on her career, which had taken a backseat during her marriage. Fisher is now enjoying tackling work again, as well as exploring new possibilities that come with being outside of a partnership.
Ultimately, Fisher's journey through divorce and into singlehood serves as a testament to the importance of resilience and adaptability in navigating life's changes. As she continues to navigate this new chapter, it seems clear that she'll be buoyant in her endeavors, reminding herself of her new identity while staying positive about the future.

, but what I love is she's choosing to focus on the positives - that feeling of creating a new life from scratch, rediscovering herself outside of a partnership. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good Netflix binge while soaking in the bath? 
It's so inspiring to see her prioritize self-care and finding joy in everyday moments 
. Her enthusiasm for this new chapter is infectious! 
. She's embracing the whole empty-nester thing and making the most of it. I love how she's prioritizing her kids and having space for them to visit from Greece - that's so sweet! And let's be real, who doesn't need a peaceful home with candles and Netflix? 
.
. I mean, it's one thing to be a single mom and another to start fresh as an empty nester too 
. But at the same time, it sounds like she's really found what makes her happy now - quiet nights in, Netflix binges, and spending time with the kiddos 
. I'm glad she's focusing on herself and her career again, that must be super empowering for her 
. And what's with her being excited about rediscovering herself? Like, didn't she have that opportunity during the marriage when it was convenient for her? Now it's all about 'embracing this new chapter', yawn 
.
i mean i feel like me too right now i just finished a long distance relationship and i'm trying to focus on myself for the first time in ages and it's been so overwhelming but also kinda liberating? 
I think Isla Fisher is doing a great job of taking time for herself and prioritizing her mental health after the divorce. It's amazing how being emotional about receiving furniture for her new home shows she's still processing everything 
As an empty-nester, it can be tough to navigate single life, but it sounds like she's finding peace in her own way - meandering through Netflix and candle-lit baths, who can blame her? 
... I mean, not that her ex-husband Sacha Baron Cohen is a terrible person or anything, but it's got to be super tough to navigate with three little ones involved 
. I guess she's doing great now though - it's amazing how life can surprise you and help you grow as a person 
. Being an empty-nester can be kinda liberating? I mean, no more sleep-deprived nights and worrying about everyone else all the time 
... but at the same time, she's gotta balance work and family life now too - that sounds like a big responsibility 
). And honestly? Her new home sounds like my dream spot too! Who wouldn't want a peaceful space to chill out with Netflix and laptop 
ISLA FISHER JUST SPOKE TO ME SO RELATABLE!!! I FEEL HER 
.
. I mean, come on, it's just furniture! It's not like she lost a loved one or something. And honestly, who doesn't love a good cry every now and then? It's like, emotional release, you know? 
) to new beginnings and rediscovering ourselves!
. we can all learn from Isla's example to prioritize our own needs, take care of ourselves, and stay present in the moment 
.
She's taking control of her life and making the most of this new chapter, which is amazing to see. I mean, who doesn't love a good Netflix binge or a relaxing bath with candles? 
also, why should we care about her Netflix binges lol 
. It's totally normal for things to get emotional when you're living alone for the first time in a long time... I mean, who doesn't love furniture shopping? 
But seriously, it's great that she's embracing this new chapter and focusing on herself and her kids.
.
. I love how she's creating a peaceful home life, all about relaxation and self-care 
. I'm definitely excited to see what the future holds for her, both personally and professionally
