Isla Fisher's bold Instagram post speaks volumes after Sacha Baron Cohen divorce
Just days after finalising her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen, Isla Fisher has posted a very playful Instagram story featuring three shirtless firefighters cuddling puppies.
The muscled trio, dressed only in yellow fire pants, flashed grins, and abs at the camera. In the caption, Isla, 49, cheekily penned: 'Look at those cute puppies,' as many saw it as a nod to her newly single status.
Isla and her now ex-husband Baron Cohen officially ended their £120 million divorce on Friday. The former couple shared identical messages online: '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.'
The pair had quietly split in 2023 after over two decades together, later announcing their breakup in April 2024 with a humorous photo of themselves in tennis whites. The accompanying caption read: 'After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.
"We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change. We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy.'
They first crossed paths at a Sydney party in 2001. Reflecting on their first meeting, Baron Cohen said: 'We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people at the party. I knew instantly. I don't know if she did.'
Though once seen as one of Hollywood's most enduring couples, they've now parted on peaceful terms. A source close to them noted: 'It's all sorted. Now Sacha and Isla both just want to get on with the rest of their lives – and focus on their family's well-being.'
When speaking about her separation in a recent interview, Isla said: "I've learned so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated, but we are committed and loving parents."
She told the Sunday Times: "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."
But it looks as though Isla has a good network of friends around her to help with the transition of being married to being single. She went on to explain: "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," she added.

Bethenny Frankel, 54, sizzles in skimpy thong bikini after jaw-dropping SI Swimsuit runway appearance
Bethenny Frankel put her enviable bikini body on display in her latest Instagram post. The former Real Housewives of New York star, 54, showed off her trim figure in a tiny terracotta thong bikini, in a video she shared to her social media on Thursday. The 5′ 7″ star flaunted her trim midriff and toned legs in the two-piece, and added more height to her look with a pair of open-toe pink heels. In the clip the entrepreneur was advertising a t-shirt which featured three of the bikini looks she wore during the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show last month - an appearance that left fans in awe of her age-defying physique. She began the clip in just her bikini, then transitioned to the t-shirt and heels. The mom-of-one further accessorized with a gold necklace, a watch and pink-tinted sunglasses. The clip was set to RuPaul's song 'Call Me Mother.' Frankel performed a runway walk on the dock next to her pool, mouthing the lyrics as she went. 'Shop the #Supermodel shirt now on her caption read. Frankel's Supermodel Tee retails for $55 on her website. Fans praised her svelte physique, with one writing, 'Dammmm girl you are a supermodel.' 'Wow Bethenny your body is ROCKING!!!' 'You just keep getting better and better,' another added. The brunette beauty also shared another bathing suit snap to her Instagram Stories, this time wearing a beige and white one-piece along with a straw hat as she lounged near the ocean. Last month Frankel stunned fans around the world as she strutted her stuff on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway in a barely-there bikini. She left little to the imagination at the event, leaving many wondering how exactly the reality TV star achieves her enviable physique. During the show, the Skinnygirl founder wore multiple looks, showing off her toned legs and stomach in a sultry pink polka dot bikini and black cover-up, which she later ripped off to reveal a thong bikini bottom underneath. In the clip the entrepreneur was advertising a t-shirt which featured three of the bikini looks she wore during the SI Swimsuit runway show last month When she reached the end of the runway, Frankel turned around to show her backside to the audience, as she jokingly covered her mouth in surprise. Later on during the runway show, she emerged in a denim bikini top and black bottoms, which she paired with a cowboy hat; she also flashed some side boob in tiny leopard-print one-piece swimsuit. As clips of the former Real Housewives of New York star circulated around the internet this weekend, many viewers couldn't help but wonder what the star has been doing both diet and fitness-wise to look that good. 'Show us the fitness routine now. Goals,' one person wrote in a comment on TikTok. Another agreed, 'We need a workout routine asap please.' It even caught the attention of her pal Lauren Sanchez, who reposted a clip of Frankel on the catwalk and gushed, 'We all need this energy. And this body. Wow.' After the big response to her walk, Frankel took to TikTok to share more about the buzz around her looks. She explained that although the internet was 'fascinated' by her age, weight, and appearance, it took a lot of contouring makeup and spray tanning to look like that. And though people may be begging her for her workout routine, it actually turns out that the star doesn't exercise - at all. 'I did not crash diet, I don't go to a gym, I don't have a workout, I walk on the beach,' she admitted. 'Everything I do has balance, I self-regulate, so I have a good relationship with food and exercise.' 'It wasn't always that way, this is not that I have a good metabolism or just good genes, because I used to be 25 pounds heavier in my early thirties,' Frankel continued. 'Why? Because I was fixated and obsessed, and I would binge and then starve.' Now, Frankel said that she approaches everything with balance. In the past, she's explained that the only form of activity she does is walking, sharing that she primarily enjoys long strolls on the beach. 'I walk now everyday, for the past several years I didn't really do much of anything, unless I was in a beach place, I'd walk on the beach, or if I was away snowboarding, I'd do that, but that's not something regular,' Frankel admitted in a video posted to her TikTok account last summer.

Oasis fan spent £700 'on thin air' after waiting years for Noel and Liam Gallagher reunion
Nevile Root, 20, was due to see the two brothers perform at their third night at Heaton Park on Wednesday (July 16) along with his girlfriend An Oasis fan has expressed his disappointment after spending £700 on tickets for their gig that turned out to be 'essentially spent on thin air'. Nevile Root, 20, had planned to watch the Gallagher brothers perform at their third night at Heaton Park with his girlfriend. A devoted follower of the band, Nevile has seen Noel and Liam perform solo numerous times over the years and stated that 'money was no object' when it came to the rare opportunity to see the band reunite after many years. However, his excitement was short-lived when he discovered that the two tickets he had purchased via the re-sale website Twickets had actually been sold to another customer through Ticketmaster's resale option seven months prior, reports the Manchester Evening News. The couple had taken the day off work and were looking forward to travelling from Preston to Manchester for the much-anticipated concert. They received the disappointing news on the morning of the show, leaving them with no choice but to miss the gig and request a refund. Including booking fees, they paid £724. The original ticket seller, based in Australia, had secured two tickets before the band announced additional world tour dates, which include performances in Sydney and Melbourne later this year. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, he said: "Having looked forward to a potential reunion for many years, I was desperate to get hold of two tickets. I've seen Liam and Noel's solo projects several times so was dismayed that I'd missed out on both the presale opportunity and also tickets in the general sale. "I persevered and followed the guidance to use the only 'official' resale site, Twickets. I was made up when I managed to secure two tickets in early January to see them in Heaton Park." Neville added: "For me, this was the one gig where money was no object. But over £700 is a whole month's rent. It's more money than most 20-year-olds can spare on gig tickets, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity. "I emailed back and forth with the seller, a man from Australia, who had bought the Manchester tickets prior to the announcement of the Australian leg of the tour. No alarm bells rang, and he forwarded me all the confirmation emails from the original ticket purchase." Neville talked with the initial ticket seller, who informed him that the Ticketmaster app wouldn't allow the tickets to be transferred until the event was closer, typically between 48 and 24 hours before the show. Neville was stunned on the morning of Wednesday's gig to discover from the seller that his long-awaited tickets, bought via Twickets, were marked 'sold' on Ticketmaster's app, revealing a breach of Twickets' reselling rules. Twickets said: "I am sorry to hear what has happened. If the tickets appear as 'sold' in [the seller's] Ticketmaster account, than that would indicate that they have also listed and sold them on Ticketmaster resale, in contravention of the terms and conditions of our site unfortunately. "We therefore have no alternative but to withdraw the sale and issue you with a full refund, which should show on your card account in the next 2-3 working days." Expressing his disappointment, Neville said: "The most frustrating thing now is just not being able to go. On one hand, I haven't lost out financially but its the fact that there isn't much safeguarding in place and that seller's can do this. "They had already been sold in January but I didn't find out until the day of the show. We are incredibly disappointed after making travel arrangements, booking annual leave and purchasing t-shirts in preparation for today only to be told the morning of the event that we wouldn't be able to go." Neville felt misled by processes that seemed secure: "I feel as though we have been led down the garden path with having instruction to be patient and purchase resale tickets only to then to find these weren't legitimate to begin with. "I've essentially spent over £700 on thin air, and left with no chance of sorting it now because it's all so last minute. Had I have known months ago, I may have had a chance. This wasn't just like buying a ticket for a band who comes round every year, this was a big deal."

After patching things up and returning to the UK, the couple checked into Glasto's luxury £38k Pop-Up hotel to celebrate their anniversary. And now the pair have put on an united front as Lou shared an album of cosy snaps to Instagram. Makeup artist Lou looked radiant with her footballer partner following reports that their "friends feared the relationship won't last." In the post, Lou was seen cuddled up to Andy while they lounged on a white sofa. She also shared a snap from when they enjoyed a sun-soaked holiday abroad. She captioned the loved-up post: "Few smiley one." The couple haven't hesitated to flaunt their romance on social media, and have shared a slew of loved-up snaps together from their recent sun-soaked holidays. However, a source told The Sun, their friends think it is just a "holiday romance" and that their differences will become too obvious to ignore when they return home and are faced with "reality." The source continued: "There are genuine fears that Andy and Lou won't last when they return to the UK. Andy Carroll and Lou Teasdale kiss and make up in £38,000 posh Glasto camp as they snog and hold hands after Greece bust-up "Their relationship has effectively been a big holiday romance, and they are going to be seriously tested when returning to reality. "Andy has clearly made it his priority to be closer to his children. "While that is admirable, things might not be the same for him and fun-loving Lou back in the UK." Andy shares children Arlo, eight, Wolf, five, and Marvel Mae with estranged wife Billi Mucklow and Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14, from a past relationship - all of five of whom Billi has been raising back home. Andy's two-year marriage to Billi ended last summer after 11 years together. In a statement to The Sun in July 2024, Andy said: "Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are under way with our divorce proceedings. "It has been a hard few months for our family and we continue to move forward amicably for our children." Andy is said to be desperate to cut ties with his old life with ex Billi, who he shares three of his five children with. Back in May 2022, Andy's wedding was almost called off when he was caught passed out on a hotel bed with two blondes during a raucous stag do. He had been drinking since midday as he celebrated the end of his single life in Dubai. The 36-year-old insisted nothing sexual happened between him and the blondes - and begged Billi for forgiveness. She took him back and the pair married two weeks later but now they are in the middle of a divorce. THE ex-England footballer has blamed recent rows on the stress of his divorce from Billi Mucklow, but says he'll 'do anything' to keep Lou. 5 Lou snuggled into Andy who couldn't seem to get enough of her Credit: instagram
