By Vicky Wong & Noor Nanji
Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have announced they are getting divorced after two decades together.
In a social media post announcing the split, the actors said they jointly filed to end their marriage last year.
The pair, who have three children, met in 2001 and got engaged in 2004.
Sharing the news with a picture of themselves wearing tennis whites, they wrote: “After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.”
In the post, published on Baron Cohen and Fisher’s Instagram stories on Friday, they said: “We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change.
“We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy.”
The pair first met at a party in Sydney, Australia. Baron Cohen later told The New York Times about their first encounter, saying Fisher was “hilarious”.
