Isla Fisher pivots to work as Sacha Baron Cohen seen with model Hannah Palmer

Isla Fisher, 49, has thrown herself into work in the wake of her split from Sacha Baron Cohen, focusing on a slate of film projects as she navigates life after 14 years of marriage and motherhood to three children. The couple, who kept their separation private for years, finalized their divorce in June, marking the formal end of their long-time partnership. Fisher has largely traded a public profile for the steadier cadence of acting duties, a move she described as a way to reestablish her identity outside the marriage.

Her current workload signals a busy period unseen since 2016, with multiple projects slated for release in the coming year. Among the titles Fisher is attached to are the heist thriller Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, the coming‑of‑age drama Jay Kelly, and the action comedy Playdate with Kevin James. She has also been filming Spa Weekend in Australia, reuniting with collaborators in what has become her most high-profile stretch since prior hits, including Keeping Up with the Joneses and Nocturnal Animals during her marriage to Sacha Baron Cohen. In addition, she provided voices in Back to the Outback (2021) and Strays (2023), and appeared on camera in The Present (2024).

At the same time, Sacha Baron Cohen, 53, has been linked to a new social-media‑fueled chapter, recently photographed with Hannah Palmer, a 27-year-old model who rose to prominence on OnlyFans. The pair were seen leaving a restaurant together and entering the same Cadillac Escalade after a dinner that followed Taika Waititi’s 50th‑birthday party in Ibiza last month. Sources described the encounter as not a date, noting that the two attended the same event with mutual friends and went separately through the soir�e9e, before sharing a ride. Palmer, who has built a sizable following online, is known for glamor-focused posts and previously discussed earnings from her OnlyFans account.

The Daily Mail cited further details about the evening, but a representative for either party did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The dynamic has drawn attention given the couple’s recent divorce and Isla Fisher’s public statements about not dating in the near term. Palmer’s social followings—2.2 million on Instagram and 575,000 on TikTok—have drawn additional interest, though the report described the dinner as a routine meet-up among people connected through a larger social network and event circle.

Isla Fisher has described her path forward in recent interviews as a process of rebuilding her identity outside of her marriage. In a discussion with The Sunday Times earlier this year, she said she was not ready to date and emphasized a desire to model a peaceful, collaborative approach to parenting. She cited her own parents’ amicable separation as a blueprint she hoped to emulate, describing their relationship as harmonious and inclusive rather than adversarial. The sentiment underscores a broader theme in her remarks: a focus on family well-being and personal reinvention rather than public romance.

The couple’s divorce, which they confirmed had been finalized in June, followed a public timeline of separation that had long kept details private. Since the split, both have pursued their separate career and family paths, reinforcing the importance of co-parenting. Acknowledging the public’s fascination with their personal lives, associates have stressed that Fisher and Baron Cohen have prioritized privacy and stability for their children as they move forward separately. The incident in Ibiza—whether romantic or platonic—has intensified media speculation, though people close to the matter have contended that it reflects a chance convergence of two celebrities at a social gathering rather than a new romance.

For now, Fisher’s public focus remains on film work, while Baron Cohen’s public appearances with Palmer highlight a different facet of post‑divorce life. The two trajectories illustrate the varied ways high‑profile individuals navigate separation: some lean into career momentum, others explore new personal connections, and all emphasize maintaining family continuity for their children. As the year progresses, observers will likely watch to see how these parallel paths influence public perception and the next chapters in both actors’ careers.
