Sacha Baron Cohen, the British comedian, and actor renowned for his role in the hit film Borat, wed Australian actress Isla Fisher in Paris on 15 March 2010. The pair first met in 2001 at a party in Sydney, Australia.
Fisher and Cohen share three children, Montgomery, 8, Elula, 12, and Olive, 15. The Australian actress, who moved to the country as a young child, converted to Judaism before marrying the star of The Dictator in a Jewish ceremony. Her conversion took place in 2007, years before she tied the knot with her Jewish husband, according to The Jewish Chronicle.
Cohen told NPR in 2007 that he would not say that he is a religious Jew but that he is “proud” of what he referred to as his “Jewish identity”. Fisher was raised Methodist by her Scottish parents, Brian Fisher and Elspeth Reid.
