Isla Fisher has spoken about the difficulties of splitting from husband Sacha Baron Cohen and co-parenting their children after filing for divorce.
Baron Cohen, 53, and Fisher, 49, tied the knot in 2010 and they have two daughters and a son together, but last year they announced their marriage was over.
The actors released a joint statement explaining that they'd jointly filed for divorce in 2023, saying: "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 prioritized 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."
Speaking to The Times, Fisher has opened up on how her family life has changed since the split and the impact it's had on her.
She said: "It’s the most difficult thing that I’ve been through and I’ve learnt so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents."

Fisher said her own parents splitting was 'very harmonious' and hopes to use that as the model for she and Baron Cohen co-parenting their three children.
"Kids are the most important thing and you want them to really feel safe and loved," she said of her parenting goals following the split.
"We are building a new, healthy version of what our family looks like and putting as much care and love into it as possible."

The couple co-parent their children in the UK, with Fisher having left Los Angeles saying 'it definitely was an unappealing concept to live in Trump’s America'.
Elsewhere in the interview she spoke about her habit of eating raw or lightly cooked meals a few times a week and whether or not she's ready to start dating again after her divorce.
Apparently the answer is no, as she said it was 'not on my to-do list' and jokingly hyperventilated as she said she was 'not ready to think about any of that'.

Shortly before Baron Cohen and Fisher publicly announced their split Rebel Wilson alleged that Baron Cohen was 'being an a**hole' who mistreated her on the set of The Brothers Grimsby, allegations which Baron Cohen's representatives said were 'demonstrably false'.
The accusation came in her book, Rebel Rising, but she said she didn't think she was the reason behind their split and said that the timing just 'wasn't great'.
