The couple met at a party in Australia in 2002 and married in Paris in 2010. They have three children, two girls and a son, the youngest son was born in 2015. The family has maintained their privacy, and their children are rarely seen in public.

Fisher is best known for her comedy work in “Confessions of a Shopaholic”, “Wedding Crashers,” and “Bachelorette.” Her voice acting career is also extensive and most recently she appeared in the latest “Guardians” version of the Marvel movie as well as “Rango” and”Strays.”
What could be the reason for this couple’s separation?
The news comes after Rebel Wilson, 44, best known for starring in the film “Pitch Perfect,” alleged last month that Cohen, 52, tried to stop the recent release of her memoir “Rebel Rising.” Sacha Baron Cohen vehemently denied the allegations against him, labelling it as a False claim.
In Rebel Rising, she writes about a negative experience working with him on 2016’s “The Brothers Grimsby.” Wilson claims in the book that Cohen asked her to do nude scenes in the film in the past which are not in the script.
