How Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher’s lives compare post-divorce from work projects to VERY different approaches to dating – as actress recalls emotional moment after split

Since news of their £120 million divorce became public, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have been living separate lives.

After announcing their split at the end of 2023 following 14 years of marriage, the former couple said they wanted to keep the details private.

After finalizing their divorce in June, the couple announced they would continue to respect each other and stay friends.

We’ve officially finalized our divorce. We’re proud of everything we accomplished as a couple and will continue to be friends, with mutual respect, as we raise our children together. We kindly ask the media to please continue respecting our children’s privacy.

It seems Sacha, 54, and Isla, 49, have approached dating after their divorce differently. Sacha was seen out with someone who creates content on OnlyFans, while Isla has stated she isn’t currently looking to date.

Just three months after Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher finalized their divorce, reports surfaced that Sacha had begun dating a younger woman who works as a model.

Sacha was seen with Hannah Palmer, 27, whom he met at director Taika Waititi’s 50th birthday celebration in Ibiza last month.

Friends of the star later insisted he wasn’t dating Hannah, Sacha has yet to comment. 

Sacha views dating much differently than Isla, who is prioritizing her career and rebuilding her life through work.

Isla recently shared in a heartfelt interview that she’s been quietly working to rebuild her life from the very beginning.

Speaking about her divorce, Isla admitted creating her new home has been ‘tough’. 

I’m really happy with how my life has changed. I used to love hosting parties, but now I much prefer relaxing at home. A perfect evening for me involves a warm bath with candles, my laptop, and a good show on Netflix – it’s the simple things that make me happy now.

She shared with ELLE Decoration that she was deeply moved when her furniture was delivered. It was the first time she’d lived alone, and the moment felt particularly significant as she’d created a home entirely for herself.

Isla shared that she was recovering from the breakup, and found the techniques of Carl Jung particularly helpful in her healing process.

Jungian therapy is a way of helping people understand themselves by looking at their unconscious thoughts, dreams, and patterns. It focuses on recognizing universal symbols and ideas to help individuals grow, become more whole, and live more fulfilling lives.

I’ve found, and this is just my experience, that endlessly dwelling on things doesn’t actually help you feel better. It’s tempting to rehash situations over and over, but I’ve learned that taking your time to process things isn’t the same as getting stuck in a loop. For me, it’s about finding a way to move forward, not just revisiting the past repeatedly.

After my divorce, I really focused on keeping things moving. I decided to say ‘yes’ to everything – any opportunity that came my way, and I threw myself completely into my work. It was all about keeping busy and building a new chapter.

Since stepping back from full-time parenting, Isla has been actively pursuing film work, contributing to her community, and exploring new creative outlets.

She expressed excitement about the chance to completely reshape her life’s next chapter, saying she loved being back at work. It’s a wonderful opportunity, she said, to start fresh.

The actress clarified that she never stopped loving acting while she was taking a break. She simply found that being a mother was, and continues to be, her greater passion.

But now, thanks to the extra time that co-parenting brings, she can do both.

When you’re a parent, it’s easy to get completely caught up in your children’s lives – it’s a wonderful and all-consuming experience. Now that I have some time to myself, I’m starting to think about my own future and what I want to do with it.

As a lifestyle observer, I’ve noticed this actress has been keeping a relatively low profile on screen lately. While she’s done some fantastic voice work – you might recognize her from Back to the Outback in 2021 and Strays in 2023 – she just made her return to on-camera roles with The Present this year. It’s her first time appearing in front of the camera in four years, which is exciting for her fans!

Once news of Isla’s breakup with Sacha became public, she starred in the major motion picture, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy.

She has four movies coming out either this year or next, making it her most packed schedule since 2016. That year, she starred in Keeping Up with the Joneses, Nocturnal Animals, and Grimsby alongside her then-husband, Sacha.

Isla will star in three upcoming movies: the heist film Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, the coming-of-age drama Jay Kelly, and the action comedy Playdate alongside Kevin James.

She was recently seen filming the upcoming comedy Spa Weekend in Australia with Leslie Mann and Anna Faris.

Isla recently shared that she’s not planning to date again for the foreseeable future, following her divorce.

‘That’s not on my to-do list. I’m not ready to think about any of that,’ she told The Sunday Times.       

Isla shared that her parents separated when she was nine, and she hopes to have a similarly amicable relationship with anyone she partners with in the future.

She described their relationship as very peaceful and loving, saying she couldn’t recall them ever arguing. They always made sure to include each other in everything.

When asked if that was the ‘blueprint’ for her separation, Isla said: ‘That’s the dream.’

Following reports of a dinner between Sacha and Hannah last month, sources have told the Daily Mail that the meeting wasn’t as innocent as it appeared.

Someone appears to have been deliberately twisting facts or drawing incorrect conclusions.

I’ve noticed they’ve hit it off after meeting a few times – they have some friends in common, which is lovely. And Sacha’s been really generous, offering her some great advice about navigating Hollywood and the acting world. It’s clear he wants to help her succeed!

This wasn’t a date, just two people heading to the same event who decided to have dinner together beforehand. Once they arrived, they each did their own thing.

Sacha and Hannah, an OnlyFans model, were spotted leaving a restaurant together after a dinner date. They initially went their separate ways, but then both got into the same Cadillac Escalade limousine.

Photos from the night show Hannah leaving in a short, leopard-print dress and tall boots. Shortly after, Sacha exited wearing a brightly striped shirt and a flat cap.

According to a witness who spoke with The Sun, the two seemed to have a strong connection. They spent two hours talking privately and appeared to be enjoying each other’s company, despite their age difference, and had plenty to discuss.

According to a source, Sacha and Hannah first met at a party hosted by Taika. They were introduced during a large dinner, and later went on to dance together at the villa’s nightclub.

Hannah is a really wonderful person – she’s both intelligent and stunning. Sacha is fortunate to be going out with her; she’s truly special.
