Fisher & Baron Cohen Finalized Divorce After 13 Years of Marriage
As per People, the divorce became official on June 13, nearly a year after the former couple initially filed to end their marriage. In a joint statement shared via Instagram Stories, Fisher & Baron Cohen announced: “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.”
Fisher & Baron Cohen were together for over two decades. After getting engaged in 2004, they tied the knot in 2010 and went on to have three children — two daughters and a son — while maintaining a low profile around their family life.
