Isla Fisher reflects on ‘difficult’ divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen after his flirty night out with a model half his age goes viral

Sacha Baron Cohen is going viral after being spotted “cosying up” to an influencer half his age. The actor, who recently announced his split from Isla Fisher, was photographed outside a Hollywood nightclub, appearing to flirt with 26-year-old model Kelsey Calemine. As the images went viral across social media, Fisher opened up about the “challenging” nature of their divorce, reflecting on the end of their 20-plus-year relationship and 13 years of marriage.

Sacha Baron Cohen sparks buzz after a flirty late-night moment with Kelsey Calemine

The 54-year-old actor was spotted chatting closely with influencer Kelsey Calemine, 26 — who many noted looks strikingly similar to Kylie Jenner — outside a Hollywood nightclub early Friday morning. Calemine wore a pink bandage minidress as she laughed with Cohen, who kept it casual in dark pants, a white T-shirt and a tan button-down.

A bystander told The Sun that Cohen arrived solo around 1 a.m. at what they described as “a hot new exclusive nightclub that’s just starting to take off in Hollywood.” According to the witness, he “instantly noticed” Calemine. “He was staring at Kelsey and then walked over and started chatting to her,” they said, adding that people inside claimed “he had been flirting with her earlier in the night.”

Outside, the vibe didn’t change. “They were very flirty, and they didn’t stop laughing,” the bystander said. When Calemine’s Uber arrived, Cohen reportedly followed her to the car. “He handed her his phone, and she typed her number into it,” the source claimed.

Isla Fisher opens up about rebuilding life post-divorce

While the actor was spotted with a model, his former wife, Isla Fisher, has opened up about their ‘challenging’ split and how she’s rebuilding her life, even as speculation grows about her ex’s recent outing with a younger model.

In a new interview with Elle Decoration, Fisher admitted, “Trying to create a new life from a grassroots level, at least emotionally, has been challenging, but deeply rewarding.” Now based in London, she said she viewed countless homes before finally finding one that felt right.

What ultimately won her over was the backyard. “To be in a space like this is so calming for me,” she shared. “I’ve been obsessed with weeping willows since I was a kid, and there’s one in the backyard, so it felt like kismet.”

Fisher added that moving in alone for the first time was unexpectedly emotional. “When all the furniture arrived, I did have a bit of a cry because this was my first time as a single woman being in a home of my own.”

Cohen and Fisher’s two-decade relationship

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher met at a party in Sydney in 2001 and began dating soon after. They got engaged in 2004 and married in a private ceremony in Paris in 2010. Over the years, they welcomed three children and largely kept their relationship out of the public eye, rarely addressing their personal life in interviews. In April 2024, the couple revealed that they had quietly filed for divorce after more than 20 years together, sharing the news through a joint statement that noted they had “separated for some time.” While neither has publicly discussed specific reasons for the split, Fisher has since described the transition as emotionally challenging as she adjusts to life on her own.
