I feel like from the time we did the table read, we all just got along. I&#8217;ve known Anna for years, and Leslie and I had made a movie together, and Michelle, I was a fan from afar.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But we all just had a natural chemistry, and we&#8217;re all girls\u2019 girls. So, there was a lot of support for each other and encouragement, and it was really special.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nLast November, the Scooby-Doo alum said going through a divorce feels like &#8220;a different grief&#8221;, but she has enjoyed &#8220;creating a new identity&#8221; following the breakdown of her marriage to the 54-year-old Borat star, with whom she has three children.<\/p>\n<p>\nIsla told NewBeauty Magazine: &#8220;I\u2019m not going to lie &#8230; it has been a really challenging time. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I definitely feel like there\u2019s something about the divorce club that anyone in it understands in a way other people don\u2019t. It\u2019s a different grief. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I feel like creating a new identity after your divorce is so fun, though. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;You get to reflect on your values and goals, explore new interests, focus on what you want and rebuild your sense of self.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Wedding Crashers entertainer also admitted there have been &#8220;lots of positives&#8221; to come from her divorce, including reconnecting with people who were not at &#8220;the forefront&#8221; during her marriage. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;It\u2019s a lot like that, reconnecting to maybe passions you had when you were a kid, but they fell by the wayside when you were raising a family. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;All the relationships that you have in your life that were not necessarily the forefront of the way that you spend your time, because you\u2019re married. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Those relationships that are so supportive and brilliant and often really, really old get to retake centre stage. I think that\u2019s a really exciting thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAlso that month, Isla said rebuilding her life after her divorce was &#8220;challenging but deeply rewarding&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Now You See Me: Now You Don&#8217;t cast member told Elle Decoration magazine: &#8220;Trying to create a new life from a grassroots level, at least emotionally, has been challenging, but deeply rewarding. I\u2019m enjoying this new version of my life. I don\u2019t need to party in my house anymore. I love to get in the bath. I\u2019ll light some candles, bring in my laptop, and put on something on Netflix. That\u2019s as exciting as it gets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/isla-fisher-reveals-found-strength-singleton-following-divorce-sacha-baron-cohen-1448764.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8 August 2026 Isla Fisher credits her girlfriends with helping her find strength after her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen.
