AceShowbiz - Isla Fisher, the beloved actress known for her roles in "The Wedding Crashers" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic," has publicly acknowledged her friends and family for their support during what has undoubtedly been one of the most challenging years of her life.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Fisher, 48, shared a bare-faced selfie and expressed her "gratitude" as she concluded 2024. The Australian star, who finalized her divorce from comedian Sacha Baron Cohen in 2024 after 14 years of marriage, voiced her appreciation for the love and support she received from her inner circle.
"I'm ending 2024 with gratitude. For my family and old friends who have supported and loved me, to the new friends who have opened their hearts and homes to me and my children and to those who keep shooting me texts to check in. I love you all and wish you the happiest 2025," Isla wrote.
The divorce announcement was shared by both Isla and Sacha in April 2024 on Instagram. "After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down," they disclosed.
The couple, who met in 2001 and married in 2010, emphasized their ongoing commitment to their three children, even as they prioritized their privacy during the transition.
Following their split, Isla sold her Sydney apartment. Purchased in 1995, just a year after she began her career on "Home and Away," the property sold for $930,000 after being listed at $1.1 million. The sale marked the end of an era for Isla, who had used the apartment as a rental investment while she took on major Hollywood projects.
While embracing her single status, Fisher spent her year-end with close friends, including a "cozy London reunion" with former "Home and Away" co-star Kate Ritchie. The two actresses have remained friends since their soap opera days in the mid-90s.
The year 2024 was indeed bustling for Isla, not just personally but also professionally. She worked on five films, the most in any single year of her career. As an accomplished children's book author and actress, she continues to manage her career alongside her role as a devoted mother - a topic she famously keeps private to protect her children from media scrutiny.
As Isla looks forward to 2025 with optimism and gratitude, she leaves behind a year marked by significant upheaval, transformation, and resilience. Her message resonates with a broader audience, exemplifying strength amid personal challenges and the power of support from loved ones.
