Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher may be going through a $75 million divorce, but the Borat star only had good things to say about his ex in her new post.

"Happy Valentine's Day 💕," Fisher, who shares three children with Cohen, captioned her Instagram post on Saturday, February 15, one day after the romantic holiday. In the professional shot, the 49-year-old Wedding Crashers star lies on a large bed with silk black sheets, wearing an off-the-shoulder pink mini dress. Fisher, rocking a red lip and a large diamond necklace, stares directly at the camera as her long hair cascades down one side of the bed.

"Stunning photoshoot," Baron, 53, wrote in the comments section of the upload.

Fisher, for her part, responded: "@sachabaroncohen thank you 😊."

Fans were touched by Cohen's comment, with several people referring to the friendly exes as "icons" and another directing his comment to the Bruno star. "love your respect for her," the fan wrote. "Class act."

The former couple announced their split in April 2024 with a couples' photo dressed up in tennis gear.

"After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down. In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage," Cohen and Fisher wrote over the photo at the time. "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."

"Things have gone pretty smoothly with Isla and Sacha," a source told Page Six on Sunday, February 16, while noting that "all divorces have their challenges."

Cohen, for his part, has shown his repeated support for Fisher via Instagram, "liking" her upload about her interview with the Sunday Times earlier this month.

In the interview, the Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy actress praised her female friends.

"I'm sitting here today because of them. 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," she told the outlet. "It's been this expansive learning curve."
