When did Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen marry? Actress reflects on marriage with a pointed quote on Instagram

Isla Fisher, who married Sacha Baron Cohen in 2010, recently took to social media a few days after she announced the finalization of her divorce, sharing a cheeky message on Instagram. According to People Magazine, the Now You See Me actress shared a rather cryptic message about marriage, writing:

"For all those men who say ‘Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?’ Here's an update for you, Nowadays, 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig, just to get a little sausage."

According to US Magazine, both Fisher and Cohen, who share three children, have expressed their intention to maintain a positive and amicable relationship with each other.

Last week, Isla Fisher posted a screenshot of a Daily Mail article discussing how the former couple attended the ongoing Wimbledon at the same time but somehow managed to not cross paths. Along with the screenshot, the Wedding Crashers actress added a cheeky caption, writing:

"Hang on? Who’s watching the kids?”

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.
