Isla Fisher is reportedly channeling her single life following her split from husband Sacha Baron Cohen into her role in the highly anticipated new Bridget Jones movie, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
Isla and British actor Sacha, 52, announced in April that they had quietly split last year.
In addition to Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, she has been involved in several other projects.
She is set to star in Back to the Outback, a film about Australian animals who escape from a zoo, and Strays, an R-rated live-action and animated comedy starring Jamie Foxx and Will Ferrell.
Despite having a busy work schedule and taking care of her three children with her ex-husband Sacha, Isla has found time for her other passion: writing.
“Isla’s real life inspires her,” a source told the publication. “She draws on her own experiences and channels them into this character”
She recently completed her fifth children’s book, Mazy the Movie Star.
“For her, writing has been a great way to escape and use her imagination,” the source said. “It’s been a real liberation.”
Isla and Sacha, 52, announced in April that they had quietly split last year.
The couple announced the news by sharing a photo of them together wearing tennis gear.
Their statement read: “After a long game of tennis that lasted more than 20 years, we finally put down our rackets.”
‘In 2023 we file a joint application to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working on this change.
‘We will always share our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate you respecting our family’s desire for privacy.’
The couple met in 2001 and married in 2010.
They are parents to daughters Olive, 17, and Elula, 13, and son Montgomery, nine.
Insiders have claimed their marriage had been “rocky” for years and Sacha reportedly struggled after making the “sacrifice” of moving his family to Australia in 2020.
They moved from Los Angeles to Sydney in 2020, then to Perth, where Isla’s family lives, in September 2021, to escape Sydney’s strict Covid lockdown rules.
At the time, they said the move to Western Australia would be permanent.
However, his move from the United States to Australia was said to be “difficult” for Baron Cohen because he was based in Hollywood and from there there was also a shorter flight to London.
The split announcement came shortly after actress Rebel Wilson made explosive claims about Isla’s ex-husband Sacha in her memoir, Rebel Rising.
The Pitch Perfect actress, 44, made several claims against her former Grimsby co-star, 52, which he has denied.
