Australian darling Isla Fisher "contacted the UK's most-fearsome divorce lawyer two years ago" but the actress only revealed her bombshell split from husband Sacha Baron Cohen to the public last week.
In what almost seemed like a joke, the comedy duo shared a picture of them both in tennis outfits, revealing that it's game over for their "long match" after 20 years together - 13 of which they were married.
The couple, who share three kids together - Olive, 16, Elula, 13, and Montgomery, nine-penned a revealing Instagram post. "In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritised our privacy, and have been working through this change," they wrote. "We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate you respecting our family's wish for privacy." While the pair might have seemed like Hollywood's golden couple for years, the signs of trouble were hiding in plain sight for those looking closely enough.
TIGHT-LIPPED
One of the most telltale signs that the couple had called it quits on their relationship was the fact that Isla, 48, kept her ring finger well-hidden during recent red carpet events.
