‘Challenging time’: Isla Fisher touches on post-divorce life as dating rumours swirl around ex Sacha Baron Cohen
Isla Fisher has seemingly responded to recent rumours her ex-husband Sacha Baron Cohen has moved on.
The Confessions Of a Shopaholic alum and the Borat star first confirmed their split in April 2024, after over 20 years together.
But now Cohen, 54, has been spotted in Hollywood with 26-year-old American influencer Kelsey Calemine.

Cohen reportedly exchanged numbers with Calemine at a Hollywood nightclub, and was seen chatting to her outside for several minutes.
There are reports the comedian has been making the most of his newly-single status in the wake of his divorce, dining out in September with 27-year-old OnlyFans model Hannah Palmer.
The unlikely pair allegedly met at Kiwi filmmaker Taika Waititi’s 50th birthday party in Ibiza in August, following the finalisation of the star’s divorce from Fisher in June.
Now in the throes of a whirlwind press tour for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, Fisher has spoken on the divorce, and the struggle of starting again.

Speaking to New Beauty Magazine, the Aussie actress admitted the post-divorce period has been a “challenging time.”
“I definitely feel like there’s something about the divorce club that anyone in it understands in a way other people don’t. It’s a different grief” Fisher said.
“It’s a lot like that, reconnecting to maybe passions you had when you were a kid, but they fell by the wayside when you were raising a family,” she reflected.
But Fisher is also looking on the bright side, using this time to focus on herself.

“There are lots of positives that have come about from all this, like self-exploration and just trying to be kind to myself.
“I can just give myself grace whenever I like. That’s all I’m trying to do.”
Fisher and Baron Cohen’s relationship spanned over 20 years, with the stars sharing three children: Montgomery, 10, Elula, 13, and Olive, 16.

“After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down,” they shared in statements posted to Instagram last April, alongside a photo of them in tennis gear.
The ex-couple first met in 2001 at a party in Sydney, and were seemingly inseparable before quietly separating a year before announcing their divorce.
