Isla Fisher leans into work as divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen closes; ex-husband linked with Hannah Palmer
Fisher stays busy with multiple film projects amid her split from Cohen, who was seen with models and influencers in Ibiza; officials say the outing was not a date
Isla Fisher, 49, is throwing herself into work in the wake of her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen, 53. The couple, who were married for 14 years and share three children, quietly separated in 2023 and finalised their divorce in June 2025.
Fisher's film slate this year and next is among her busiest since 2016. She is set to appear in Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, a coming-of-age drama titled Jay Kelly, and an action comedy called Playdate with Kevin James. She has recently filmed Spa Weekend in Australia with Leslie Mann and Anna Faris, and her career in recent years has included voice roles in Back to the Outback (2021) and Strays (2023) and an on-screen return in The Present (2024). After the divorce became public, she also appeared in Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, a return to a high-profile project in line with her recent work.
In interviews this year Fisher indicated that dating was not on her agenda as she redefines her identity beyond her marriage and focuses on privacy and her children. She has spoken about growing up with parents who separated when she was nine and described their split as harmonious, something she says she hopes to emulate in her own life as she navigates a demanding acting schedule and public life.
Meanwhile, Sacha Baron Cohen has been linked to Hannah Palmer, a 27-year-old model and former OnlyFans creator who has built a substantial social-media presence. The pair were photographed in Ibiza after meeting at Taika Waititi's 50th birthday party and were seen leaving a restaurant together before both heading to the same Cadillac Escalade, according to observers. Sources say the outing did not constitute a date; they were two people who crossed paths at a big party and then attended a dinner together before going their separate ways.
Palmer's profile has grown rapidly, with about 2.2 million Instagram followers and 575,000 on TikTok. She has discussed an OnlyFans venture that she has described as lucrative, reporting earnings in the millions during its first year. The Ibiza sightings come three months after Cohen and Fisher finalised their reported £120 million divorce in June, with statements at the time stressing a mutual commitment to co-parenting and privacy.
The broader timeline of the couple’s relationship remains part of the public record. They first met at a party in Sydney in 2001, connected over a shared sense of humor, and married in 2010. They welcomed three children before quietly separating in 2023. Their divorce was finalised in June, and both parties have emphasized that they intend to move forward with their lives while protecting their family’s privacy.
As Fisher continues to press forward with multiple film projects, observers will watch how the divorce shapes both parents’ professional and personal lives. The year marks a turning point: Fisher pursuing a renewed professional arc alongside a stable family life, and Cohen navigating a post-marriage chapter in a highly scrutinized public sphere.
