Isla Fisher is stepping into a new chapter with a mix of raw honesty and optimism. Moving forward after a long marriage is never easy, but Fisher is embracing the challenge with optimism. The actress is opening up about life after her split from Sacha Baron Cohen.

In her Harper’s Bazaar Australia August cover story, the “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” actress revealed she’s been navigating a period of transition following her divorce from actor Sacha Baron Cohen.

“I’m really excited for the next chapter,” Fisher, 49, told the magazine. “I’m refocusing on my career because previously I was very much focused on my kids, which I still am, obviously, because [they’re] my true love. But I’m enjoying tackling work again.”

Fisher candidly shared that she’s had “a tough couple of years” but is finding strength in rediscovery. “One of the benefits of a challenging situation is the luxury of asking myself, ‘What would I like to do professionally and privately?’” she explained.

“I’m trying to remind myself of my new identity as somebody outside of a partnership and to stay as buoyant as possible.”

Fisher and Cohen were together for more than two decades, having first met at a party in Sydney in 2001. They got engaged in 2004, married in 2010, and announced their divorce in 2023 after 13 years of marriage. The couple finalized the split in June and continues to co-parent their three children.

In a joint statement posted to Instagram Stories, the former couple wrote: “We are proud of all we’ve achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children.”

On the work front, Fisher is keeping busy with several film projects. The exciting lineup includes the upcoming comedy “Spa Weekend” and the highly anticipated sequel “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t”, set to hit theaters on November 14, 2025.
