Some folks on social media have been left 'shocked' by the way Isla Fisher announced her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen.

The pair posted statements to their Instagram stories earlier today (5 April) announcing their separation after 20 years together.

Fisher and Baron Cohen met at a party in Sydney in 2001, several years before they both gained international fame in Borat and Wedding Crashers.

Three years later in 2004, the couple got engaged.

Their engagement was a long one, as the pair finally tied the knot in 2010.

But after 13 years of marriage, Fisher and Baron Cohen announced they had filed for divorce last year.

"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."

Many people have since flocked to social media following the surprising announcement to provide their thoughts.

In particular, it's the beginning of the statement that has grabbed many people's attentions, as the couple compared their marriage to a tennis match.

"I just can’t believe this is the way she chose to do it," the same user added.

"not even a post but in stories is insane," someone else chimed in, while a third added: "I’m speechless."

Considering the couple separated in 2023, many fans will wonder why the news has only just come to light.

Well, Fisher has spoken previously about how keeping her family life private had been important to the pair.

She told The Australian Women's Weekly: "I get nervous talking about it because I feel like, by not having my relationship in the public domain and not having spoken about how we met or really talked about our marriage publicly, it's remained something private and valuable to me.

"But having a shared ability to find humor in the sharpness of life is always going to bring connection. And, otherwise, I just think it's nice to keep some things for yourself."
