Isla Fisher Shares Bold Perspective on Marriage Post-Divorce

Recently, Isla Fisher expressed a candid opinion about marriage after finalizing her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen. She shared a provocative quote on Instagram suggesting that “80 percent of women are against marriage,” accompanied by a statement challenging the notion of the traditional view that men shouldn’t buy the cow to get the milk for free. The post was captioned with, “For all those men who say, ‘Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?’ Here’s an update for you.”

Fisher’s remark reflects her view that many women see marriage as an unworthy investment, humorously comparing it to realizing “it’s not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.” The actress’s stance is noteworthy given her own marriage history; she married Cohen in 2010 after six years of engagement. The two met in Sydney a decade prior and have three children together: Olive, Elula, and Montgomery.

The former couple announced their separation on social media in 2024, after filing for divorce the year before. They publicly stated that they have always valued their privacy while working through the process. Their divorce was finalized last month, with both sharing statements emphasizing their continued commitment to co-parenting and mutual respect, despite the end of their marriage.

Fisher reflected on her relationship with Cohen, describing him as someone she instantly bonded with at a party, noting, “He knew instantly” that she was The One. The two tied the knot in Paris in 2010 and have expressed their mutual affection and respect following their separation, with Fisher joking about their recent close call at Wimbledon, quipping, “Hang on? Who’s watching the kids?”
