'Not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage': Isla Fisher pokes fun at marriage after Sacha Baron Cohen divorce
Fisher, a prolific Instagram user, often shares small hints about her new single life via her humorous story posts, which expire after 24 hours.
The beloved Aussie actress struck again on Wednesday and took to her Instagram to share a brutally honest quote about modern relationships.
Fisher fired off a cheeky take on an age-old saying with a new twist.
'For all the men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?' Here's an update for you," the quote began.
'Nowadays, 80 per cent of women are against marriage.
'Why? Because women realise it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.'
Fisher, 49, and Baron Cohen, 53, announced their separation in April last year via a joint statement on social media.
"After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down," the former couple wrote alongside a photo of themselves in tennis whites.
The cheeky post comes weeks after Fisher stepped out looking glamorous in a plunging floral dress for day one of the Wimbledon tennis grand slam.
Fisher looked positively ageless in a Monique Lhuillier lemon-printed corset dress that retails for a whopping $4,703.
The Wedding Crashers star accessorised the pricey outfit with Jimmy Choo sandals, an Aspinal of London mini leather Paris bag and a pair of aviator sunglasses.
Fisher and her ex-husband confirmed they had finalised their reported AU$250 million divorce last month.
'Our divorce has now been finalised,' the pair wrote in a message published jointly on their social media accounts.
'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.'
The former couple, who share three children, previously split their time between homes in Sydney, London and Los Angeles after their 2010 wedding in Paris.
'It's the most difficult thing that I've been through and I've learnt so much about myself in the process,' Fisher said earlier this year in a rare interview.
'I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents.'

Denmark's Princess Isabella could move to Australia after pal Princess Ingrid-Alexandra of Norway confirms Sydney move
Princess Isabella of Denmark is reportedly considering a move to her mother's native Australia just months after another major royal revealed plans to move to Sydney. Isabella, who recently marked her milestone 18th birthday, is the elder daughter of King Frederik and Aussie-born Queen Mary. According to Danish tabloid Billed Bladet, the Princess is reportedly considering moving to Mary's native Australia to study or enjoy a gap year before commencing royal duties and completing military service. 'There may be a possibility that Princess Isabella will follow in her mother's footsteps,' the outlet revealed on Tuesday. Isabella is widely tipped to take on full royal duties in future in support of her parents and later her brother Crown Prince Christian. The Danish Princess knows Australia well and has enjoyed many family holidays in her mother's native Tasmania. Meanwhile, her cousin Count Nikolai of Monpezat studied for a semester at the University of Technology Sydney in 2023. The report comes months after it was confirmed Norway's Princess Ingrid Alexandra will move to Australia in August to begin a three-year undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney. 'Her Royal Highness Princess Ingrid Alexandra will begin her studies at the University of Sydney in August, enrolling in a Bachelor of Arts program,' the Norwegian Palace said in a press release in May. It is understood Ingrid Alexandra and Isabella are close, with Isabella's father King Frederik serving as Ingrid Alexandra's godfather. Isabella's possible move down under would be only the latest in a long line of international royals who have completed part or all of their education in Australia. Thailand's reigning King Vajiralongkorn spent several years studying in Australia in the 1970s, while King Charles spent two terms at Geelong Grammar School in 1966. The report comes months after Isabella earned high praise in the Danish press after making her first major public speech during her birthday celebrations. Danish publication BT's entertainment editor Fie West praised the young royal for using humour to break the ice during the historic occasion. 'Princess Isabella shows great initiative by starting her very first official speech with a joke,' West said. 'She speaks into something that many Danes remember and have brought a smile to their faces, and it is extremely charming that she displays self-irony.'

Canadian tennis champion Eugenie Bouchard announces retirement at home tournament
Hugely popular Canadian tennis star Genie Bouchard has called time on her career. The 31-year-old will play one one last time at the Canadian Open in her home town of Montreal, starting next week, before saying goodbye. 'You'll know when it's time. For me, it's now. Ending where it all started: Montreal,' Bouchard wrote across her social media platforms. Bouchard, a former world No.5, was at her peak in 2014 when she reached the Wimbledon final and semi-finals at the Australian Open and Roland Garros. She also won her only singles title that year. Bouchard returned to a grand slam semi the following season in Australia, but had her career somewhat derailed by a fall later that year at the US Open, after which she was never the same. The Canadian suffered a concussion after slipping on a wet locker room floor, forcing her to pull out of her fourth-round match. American superstar Coco Gauff and Bouchard's sister Beatrice were among the first to pay tribute to her career. 'Watching you chase your dreams with everything in your being has been one of the greatest joys of my life,' Beatrice said. 'You are the true definition of hard work, determination, HEART, and resilience. 'You made history, inspired a nation, and gave everything to this sport. 'But to me.. you've always just been my hero. So proud to be your sister, and I can't wait to see what's next for you.' Hundreds of fans added their well-wishes. 'Genie, you've done a lot of great things, not only for yourself, but the sport of tennis and you made a lot of new people become fans, not only of yourself, but of the sport itself. Be proud of your career and I hope you find something that you loved as much as tennis,' one wrote. 'Congratulations Genie, what a wonderful career. You helped Canadian tennis on World tennis map, a place it has never left since you burst onto the scene. Thank You. Wishing you all the best in your new ventures. The tennis world will not be the same without you in it,' another added. A third called her a 'tennis goddess and queen'. 'Hoping that Genie goes out with bang. Many great moments from her career.' Bouchard has scarcely played on the WTA tour in recent years, having explored professional pickleball instead. But she has received a wildcard entry to the Canadian Open, as the tournament's official account revealed. 'One final Montreal homecoming and a main draw wildcard for Eugenie Bouchard,' it said. 'The former world no. 5 and 2014 Wimbledon finalist will bid adieu to tennis at the #NBO2025 ' Tournament director Valerie Tetreault said she's been an icon of the sport in Canada. 'She has been one of the most important figures in the history of our sport in Canada and a trailblazer who redefined what Canadian tennis could be,' Tetreault said. 'We are proud of everything she has done, as a player and role model, and we can't wait to see her in action one last time at IGA Stadium this summer.'
