UPDATE: Actress Isla Fisher is embracing her “new identity” following her recent divorce from comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. The 49-year-old Australian star opened up about her transformation in a candid interview with Harper’s Bazaar, revealing she is focused on personal growth and career rejuvenation after a challenging couple of years.
Fisher shared her sentiments during the interview, stating, “I’ve had a tough couple of years, but I’m making it through. I’m really excited for the next chapter.” The actress, now single after the couple announced their split in April 2023 and finalized their divorce in May 2023, is adapting to life outside of a partnership and is committed to remaining “as buoyant as possible.”
The former couple, who share three children, made headlines last spring when they confirmed their separation. In a joint statement posted on Instagram, they expressed their commitment to co-parenting and maintaining respect for one another, stating, “Our divorce has now been finalized. We are proud of all we’ve achieved together and remain friends.”
Fisher emphasized her dedication to her children, saying, “Kids are the most important thing, and you want them to really feel safe and loved.” She reflected on her journey, describing her divorce as “the most difficult thing” she has faced but noted the importance of building a healthy family dynamic moving forward.
In her remarks, Fisher highlighted the opportunity for self-reflection and professional focus post-divorce. “I’m refocusing on my career, because previously I was very much focused on my kids,” she explained, adding, “That’s been one of the benefits of a challenging situation: the luxury of asking myself, What would I like to do professionally and privately?”
As she navigates this new chapter, Fisher remains hopeful. “Any time there’s change, it’s hard to adapt. But hopefully I’m doing an okay job,” she stated, revealing her resilience amidst the transition.
This refreshing take on her life after divorce resonates with many, as Fisher continues to redefine herself in the public eye. Fans and followers alike are encouraged to support her journey, which reflects a broader narrative of personal growth and empowerment.
