Isla Fisher's split from Sacha Baron Cohen has been the "most difficult thing" she's been through.
The 49-year-old actress announced in 2024 that she was separating from the 53-year-old comedy star, but Fisher admits that it's been a very difficult process.
The Hollywood star, who has Olive, 17, Elula, 14, and Montgomery, nine, with Baron Cohen, told “The Sunday Times” newspaper: "I’ve learned so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated, but we are committed and loving parents."
The former couple, who tied the knot back in 2010, remain determined to put their children first.
Fisher shared: "Kids are the most important thing, and you want them to really feel safe and loved. We are building a new, healthy version of what our family looks like and putting as much care and love into it as possible."
She believes her friends have played a crucial role in helping her to navigate the situation.
The actress explained: "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 learned so much about the power of female friendship and I’ve just learned that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are. It’s been this expansive learning curve."
Fisher and Baron Cohen first announced news of their break-up via Instagram.
Alongside images of them both wearing tennis gear, they wrote: "After a long tennis match lasting over twenty 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."
