Isla Fisher seeks "Anti-Sacha" partner after split, embraces single life and career revival

Isla Fisher is stepping into a new chapter of her life following her split from Sacha Baron Cohen.

Isla Fisher is embracing her newfound independence and enjoying single life after her split from Sacha Baron Cohen. The 48-year-old actress, who is set to star in the next Bridget Jones sequel, is actively looking for a long-term partner but isn't rushing into anything serious, an insider tells In Touch exclusively.

“Isla is exploring and meeting new people for the first time in over 20 years,” says the source. “After her marriage to Sacha, she’s clear about what she wants—an American, a hunk, and essentially the ‘Anti-Sacha Baron Cohen’—someone who’s laid-back and not controlling.”

While the Now You See Me star is open to a serious relationship in the future, she’s taking time to enjoy her freedom, meeting new people, and reigniting her social life. Sources say Fisher’s youthful energy and positive outlook remain strong, despite the challenges of her marriage breakdown.

Sacha Baron Cohen, 52, and Fisher announced their quiet split in April 2023 after more than two decades together. They emphasized their commitment to co-parenting and maintaining privacy for their family during this transition.

Isla Fisher’s career is also moving forward, and with friends eager to set her up, she won’t be short of romantic options as she steps into this new phase of her life.
