Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher were 'at odds' over parenting and 'conflicting filming schedules' before pair's shock split after 14 years of marriage

Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen had been 'at odds' over both parenting and work duties before announcing their shock separation after nearly 14 years of marriage. 

The Confessions Of A Shopaholic actress, 48, and Bruno star, 52, took to social media on Friday to reveal that they had split after tying the knot back in 2010 and welcoming three children. 

A source informed Us Weekly on Saturday that the two stars were 'at odds' over their own professional and family commitments. 

Fisher and Cohen share daughters Olive, 17, and Elula, 13, as well as a son named Montgomery, nine. 

A separate insider informed the outlet that Isla and Sacha had 'furiously argued' over 'conflicting filming schedules' as well as parenting responsibilities.

On Friday, the former couple shared a statement on social to share the news of their split. 

A photo of the pair sporting tennis outfits was also uploaded alongside the announcement. 

'After a long tennis matching lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down. In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage.'

'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 stars first crossed paths in 2001 at a party in Sydney and became engaged three years later in 2004. 

Before saying 'I do,' Fisher converted to Judaism and the former couple held a Jewish ceremony in 2010 in Paris. 

Ahead of the nuptials, the actress opened up about planning the big day and told Allure, 'It is very important to me to have a beautiful ritual celebrated with all my family and friends.' 

'When you are in the public eye, to keep that private and to make it happen without it being really visible is really difficult.'

Another source told DailyMail.com that their marriage had been 'shaky' before quietly splitting in 2023 and following their move to Australia in 2020. 

'Their marriage has been shaky for years. The breakdown started when they relocated to Australia so that she could be closer to her family. But it left Sacha far removed from everyone he knows.' 

'He made this sacrifice for her and would make many sacrifices for her throughout their marriage. He is deeply affected by their split because she was his life for many years,' the insider explained. 

In regards to their kids, Isla 'has custody of the children and they are still working out the best arrangement so that Sacha is able to be an active part of their lives.' 

'They have much love for each other, but they could not get along and became different people than they were at the beginning of their relationship. They wanted different things in life in terms of their careers.' 

'They had a prenup but it is still very difficult because everything they owned is purchased for the two of them and their family together.' 

The source also told DailyMail.com that the split had nothing to do with infidelity and stated, 'Cheating was not involved on either side and neither are seeing anyone else.' 

The announcement comes after Rebel Wilson made shock claims about her experience with 'a**hole' comedian Sacha in her new memoir, Rebel Rising.

Rebel played Borat star Sacha's on-screen girlfriend in the 2016 comedy The Brothers Grimsby and made a series of allegations about her uncomfortable experience during shooting.

She alleged that on the set of the Louis Leterrier-directed film, Sacha would ask her to strip off for scenes despite her 'no nudity' rule, in a string of claims which Sacha has strenuously denied and says are contradicted by evidence.

Wilson broke her silence just hours after Isla and Sacha announced their separation by sharing a video as she posed wearing a green, satin dress. 

In the caption, she wrote, 'What a week! I need a lie down on the couch now… for real! Thank you so much to everyone who has bought REBEL RISING and is already enjoying it! Love you.' 

Another source told The Sun that Rebel's claims had been 'a catalyst' in Isla's decision to announce the separation. 

Fisher reportedly was 'starting to get embarrassed' over the claims in the memoir and wanted to protect her 'own career and reputation.'

A separate insider also informed the publication that the former couple's choice to announce the split was not 'taken lightly,' adding that the pair still 'remain incredibly close.' 

Just two months ago, Isla discussed her Valentine's plans with Sacha on The Kelly Clarkson show, saying: 'Every year Sacha does give me a card that's like, "Happy Valentine’s from..." and then there's a massive question mark.'

'As if anybody else would send me...as if I have any other Valentines. I'm a mother of three. I mean, I'm always like, "Ooooh. So many men."' 

In July 2023, the pair's marriage appeared stronger than ever during a trip to Greece with Isla sharing a snap of herself sharing a passionate kiss with her husband.

Back in January 2022 Isla revealed it was love at first sight for the pair in a rare interview about their marriage.

'I totally loved him right away. I mean I knew it was definitely love at first sight,' she added.

Elsewhere in the interview, Isla reflected on the couple having been together for two decades - a rarity in the fickle world of show business.

'I think by Hollywood standards it's probably 200 years!' she joked. 'I feel like it's a Golden Jubilee or something. Everyone was congratulating me'.

'It is a fun ride. I feel so lucky to have Sacha in my life. Now we have this beautiful family and we survived lockdown together, which you know, it is not easy for any couple,' Isla added.
