It appears Perth-raised star Isla Fisher may have finally found a new leading man following her high-profile split from Sacha Baron Cohen.

The former Home and Away actor, who recently celebrated her 50th birthday, has been spotted looking very friendly with former South African footballer Larry Cohen in London’s Notting Hill.

In an odd twist the actor’s new companion shares the same surname as her former husband.

The pair were seen laughing together while waiting for a taxi after a night out at the exclusive Soho House.

She finalised her $245 million divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen in June last year.

Larry Cohen, 38, is a former Ajax Cape Town professional soccer player born in Johannesburg.

Fisher has settled into her new life in London with her three kids: Olive, 18, Elula, 15, and Montgomery, 10.

The Now You See Me star has been candid about the end of her 14-year marriage, describing the separation as one of the hardest personal struggles she has ever faced.

“I’m not going to lie … 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,” she told New Beauty Magazine.

“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.”

Fisher and Baron Cohen met in Sydney in 2001 and married in 2010.

Baron Cohen thanked his “incredibly patient wife” during his 2021 Golden Globes acceptance speech before the pair shocked everyone in 2024 by revealing they had already been separated for a year.
