Isla Fisher swipe at marriage after her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen sparks buzz: 'Not worth buying an entire pig…'
Just weeks after finalizing her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen , actress Isla Fisher has made headlines with a forward and pointed social media post that many interpret as a thinly veiled insult at her former marriage. The post, which reworks a classic saying about relationships, has ignited conversation across social media and entertainment circles. 'Not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage' On July 15, Fisher shared a quote to her social media Story that read: 'For all the men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?' Here's an update for you. Nowadays, 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.' The post, originally from the account She Inspires Strength, was widely interpreted as a savage dig at the institution of marriage—and possibly at Cohen himself, whom Fisher split from in 2023 after 14 years of marriage. Divorce finalized, but the tennis metaphors continue Fisher and Cohen announced their separation in April 2024 with a joint social media post featuring them in matching tennis outfits, captioned: 'After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo Their divorce was officially finalized on June 14, 2025, with both parties posting a statement: '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.' Wimbledon quip adds to the shade Just days before her 'pig and sausage' post, Fisher shared a screenshot of a Daily Mail article noting that she and Cohen had both attended Wimbledon separately. Tagging her ex, she joked: 'Hang on? Who's watching the kids? @sachabaroncohen' The playful tone suggests that while the divorce may be final, Fisher isn't done poking fun at their shared history. 'The most difficult thing I've been through' In a February interview with The Times, Fisher opened up about the emotional toll of the breakup: 'It's the most difficult thing that I've been through and I've learnt so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents.' She also credited her female friendships for helping her through the transition: 'The women in my life have held me… I've learnt so much about the power of female friendship and I've just learnt that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership and what my values are.'

Earlier this year, it was suggested their break up had turned toxic as they carved up their £120million fortune. The former couple first said they would continue to be based primarily in the UK, for the sake of continuity and prioritising the education of their three children, aged 17, 14 and ten yet neighbours claimed the situation was "war." Now, Home And Away alum Isla has taken to social media to re-post a message from the She Inspires Strength account. It read: "For all those men who say 'why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free' here's an update for you. "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." While the post did not show any public comments, it was thought she was referring to her Borat actor ex, 53. DIVORCE SETTLEMENT Confessions of a Shopaholic star Isla came just weeks after the celebrity couple tied up divorce proceedings. In a message posted simultaneously on both their Instagram sites last month, the pair said: 'Our divorce has now been finalised. Watch the awkward moment Isla Fisher revealed Valentine's Day plans with Sacha Baron Cohen - despite having already secretly split "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.' Baron Cohen and Fisher first met in 2001 and married in 2010. They were believed to have one of the strongest marriages in showbusiness - before quietly separating in 2023. They then publicly announced their break-up the following year. All the signs Isla and Sacha had secretly split The couple have revealed they actually split last year, despite only just revealing their divorce. Here we look at the signs they had already broken up before revealing their split news: Social media silence - Sacha has been absent from Instagram since last Christmas. Spending time with friends - Isla has been been following that classic post break-up move of spending more time with her girlfriends. Hidden ring finger - No fans noticed at the time, but in many Instagram shots from this year, Isla has hidden her right hand so her wedding finger was not visible in many shots. Missing man - The last image Isla shared of her and Sacha prior to the divorce announcement was back in November last year. They announced the separation last year with a picture of themselves wearing tennis whites and noted: "After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down." "We have always prioritised 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." STAR CLASH? The couple appear to have amicably resolved any differences there might have been between them. This is despite previous suggestions the couple's divorce may have been turning acrimonious as they carved up their estimated eight-figure fortune. A source said: '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.' The celeb couple - who have three children together - first met at a party in Sydney, Australia in 2001. Speaking of their first encounter, Baron Cohen recalled that Fisher was "hilarious". He remembered: "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." 6 The pair's split was said to have turned toxic as they fought out their fortune Credit: Getty 6 The actress, 49, is active on social media Credit: Getty
