Just weeks after finalizing her divorce from longtime partner Sacha Baron Cohen, actress Isla Fisher is letting her feelings be known—and she’s not holding back.

The Aussie star took to Instagram with a bold, tongue-in-cheek quote that has everyone talking.


A Cheeky Take on an Old Saying

In a post that felt as much like comedy as it did commentary, the 48-year-old actress gave a modern twist to a dated expression.

“For all the men who say, ‘Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?’” she wrote, before flipping the script with, “Here’s an update for you: Nowadays, 80% of women are against marriage.

Why? Because women realise it’s not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.”

It was blunt. It was cheeky. And yes, many saw it as a not-so-subtle jab at her ex-husband.


No Awkward Run-Ins, Just Lighthearted Jabs

The pointed Instagram post came on the heels of another lighthearted moment involving her ex.

While both Isla and Sacha were spotted at Wimbledon recently—though they didn’t bump into each other—Isla made sure to keep things playful.

She shared a screenshot of an article noting their separate appearances and hilariously tagged Sacha in the post, writing, “Hang on? Who’s watching the kids? @sachabaroncohen”.

It was a funny and surprisingly friendly nod to their co-parenting dynamic.


A Tennis-Themed Farewell

Interestingly, tennis has become somewhat of a theme for their split.

Back in April 2024, the former couple announced their separation using a photo of themselves in matching tennis outfits, writing, “After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.”

The divorce was officially finalized on June 14, with both parties sharing a joint statement emphasizing respect and a focus on co-parenting their three children.

“We are proud of all we’ve achieved together,” they wrote.

“We remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children.”


Looking Back on a Long Relationship

Isla and Sacha met way back in 2001, tied the knot in 2010, and built a life together over the course of more than two decades.

They share three children and, by all accounts, are continuing to raise them with mutual care despite going their separate ways.


Isla Reflects on the Pain and Growth After the Breakup

In earlier interviews this year, Isla opened up about just how difficult the separation has been.

“It’s the most difficult thing that I’ve been through,” she admitted, “and I’ve learnt so much about myself in the process.”

She went on to say that although she never imagined her family would be split, “we are committed and loving parents.”


Moving On With Humor and Honesty

Isla’s recent posts seem to show that she’s finding her own way through the pain—with wit, resilience, and a dose of dry humor.

Whether it’s sly Instagram jokes or reflective interviews, she’s proving that breakups don’t have to be bitter.

Her fans are here for this new era of openness, and her followers are applauding how she’s handling the next chapter—with honesty, grace, and a bit of sass.
