Sacha Baron Cohen’s ex Isla Fisher dating Jewish footballer
Australian actress and South African spotted leaving a club together
Actor Sacha Baron Cohen and footballer Larry Cohen have more in common than just a surname. For Isla Fisher, ex-wife of Sacha, is dating Larry and the two were spotted – leaving a private members’ club on Portobello Road at the weekend.
Fisher, 50, was seen hugging Cohen, 38, as they left the venue.
South African footballer Larry Cohen grew up in Johannesburg and went to King David High School. The former Cape Town Spurs FC player, who has Lithuanian Jewish heritage, is now retired.
Fisher, who grew up in Perth, is well known for her role in Australian series Home and Away and the 2005 movie Wedding Crashers. She and Baron Cohen, 54, divorced last summer.
Fisher converted to marry Baron Cohen in 2010. “I would do anything – move into any religion – to be united in marriage with him,” she said at the time. they have three children, Olive, 18, Elula, 15, and Montgomery, ten.
Since their split, she has told US magazine New Beauty: “It has been a really challenging time. I definitely feel like there’s something about the divorce club that anyone in it understands in a way other people don’t. It’s a different grief.”
However, she added: “I feel like creating a new identity after your divorce is so fun, though. You get to reflect on your values and goals, explore new interests, focus on what you want and rebuild your sense of self.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
