00:00 Sasha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher are divorcing.
00:04 The couple reveals they decided to split in 2023,
00:08 posting a joint statement to their stories.
00:11 Alongside a photo of themselves, they write,
00:13 "After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years,
00:17 "we are finally putting our rackets down.
00:20 "In 2023, we jointly filed to end our marriage."
00:24 They continue, "We have always prioritized our privacy
00:27 "and have been quietly working through this change.
00:30 "We forever share in our devotion
00:32 "and love for our children.
00:34 "We sincerely appreciate your respecting
00:36 "our family's wish for privacy."
00:39 The pair first met in 2001 at a party in Sydney, Australia.
00:44 They married in 2010 and share three kids together.
00:47 Isla previously opened up to the Australian's Women's Weekly
00:50 about keeping her and the Borat star's relationship private,
00:54 saying, "I get nervous talking about it
00:56 "because I feel like by not having my relationship
00:59 "in the public domain and not having spoken
01:01 "about how we met or really talked
01:03 "about our marriage publicly,
01:04 "it's remained something private and valuable to me."
01:08 Adding, "But having a shared ability
01:09 "to find humor in the sharpness of life
01:12 "is always going to bring connection.
01:13 "And otherwise, I just think it's nice
01:15 "to keep some things for yourself."
01:17 The split news comes shortly after Rebel Wilson
01:20 made public accusations against Sasha in her new memoir,
01:23 calling him a massive (beep)
01:25 She claims he asked her to perform a lewd act on him
01:28 on the set of the Brothers Grimsby in 2016.
01:32 Sasha denies the allegations, telling E! News in a statement,
01:35 "While we appreciate the importance of speaking out,
01:38 "these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted
01:41 "by extensive detailed evidence,
01:42 "including contemporaneous documents, film footage,
01:46 "and eyewitness accounts from those present before,
01:49 "during, and after the production of Grimsby."
