Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen have shared a friendly exchange on social media amid reports their divorce is getting ‘messy’.
The exes engaged one another on the Australian star’s latest Instagram post, which shows her in a sultry photoshoot for Style Magazine.
‘Stunning photoshoot,’ the British actor complimented his former wife in the comments below the post, which he also ‘liked’.
Isla replied some hours later, tagging the 53-year-old and writing, ‘Thank you’ alongside a blushing emoji.
The friendly interaction comes amid reports her amicable divorce from comedian Sacha is set to turn sour as they divide their £60 million (AUD$119,084,160) fortune.
Sources close to the actor said ‘it’s war’ and ‘any remaining veneer of civility has gone’ after Isla opened up about how she was handling their separation.

During a press run for the latest Bridget Jones movie, Isla confessed to a Sunday magazine that she leaned on her female friends for support during the separation.
Breaking ranks on their agreement not to discuss their private lives, Isla said: ‘The women in my life have held me.
‘The female relationships 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 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.’
Insiders claim Sacha publicly showed support over the interview, but said his reaction behind the scenes was one of fury. You can read the details of it here.
Isla, who has been single for two years now, spoke candidly about her divorce from Sacha almost a year after the Hollywood couple announced they were separating.
The actress, who was in a relationship with Sacha for two decades, admitted earlier this month ‘divorce is the hardest thing she has ever gone through’.
Isla and Sacha revealed in a joint statement in April 2024 they had ‘quietly separated’ the year before.

‘After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down,’ they told fans.
Discussing the split with the Sunday Times, Isla said: ‘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.’
Isla explained her own parents separated when she was nine-years-old and admitted their peaceful arrangement was what she now strives for.
She said: ‘It was very harmonious, I don’t ever remember them fighting about anything… they were very inclusive of each other.’

When asked if that was the ‘blueprint’ for her separation, Isla said: ‘That’s the dream.’
Isla was also asked whether she feels ready to dip her toe back into the dating pool any time soon.
‘That’s not on my to-do list. I’m not ready to think about any of that’ the Wedding Crashers star admitted.
Isla and Sacha both live in London where they co-parent their three children.
The Confessions of a Shopaholic star is currently Down Under filming her new comedy Spa Weekend on the Gold Coast in Queensland.
