Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have finalised their divorce

In a joint statement posted to Instagram, the former Hollywood couple said: "Our divorce has now been finalised. We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children.

"We ask for the media to continue to respect our children's privacy."

Isla previously called her divorce the "most difficult thing" she's been through, but insisted at the time that she and the Borat star remained focused on their kids.

She told The Sunday Times newspaper: "I've learned so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated, but we are committed and loving parents ...

"Kids are the most important thing, and you want them to really feel safe and loved. We are building a new, healthy version of what our family looks like and putting as much care and love into it as possible."

Isla also credited her friends with playing a crucial role in helping her to navigate the situation.

The actress explained: "The women in my life have held me ... the female relationships that I cultivated in our business, those women have been there for me. I'm actually going to get emotional.

"I'm sitting here today because of them. I've learned so much about the power of female friendship and I've just learned that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are. It's been this expansive learning curve."

When Sacha and Isla decided to tell the world that they were to divorce, they revealed that they had come to the conclusion a year earlier that there marriage would not continue and they had been "quietly working through" the whole thing.

In a joint statement, they said: "After a long tennis match 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."
