The actress, 49, revealed in a March 27 interview with Stellar that she is finally ready to move on and return to her passions following her divorce from Borat creator Sacha Baron Cohen.

Isla Fisher is focusing more on her acting career following her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen.
"I definitely am trying to focus more on myself professionally, something that was always on the backburner," she said.
After dealing with divorce, the Confessions of a Shopaholic actress feels better equipped to handle whatever comes next as a single woman.
”I think because of the challenges that I've gone through in the last two years, I don't see that it will change much," she admitted.

Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen were married for 13 years.
Fisher — who shares three children with Cohen — admitted that she always puts motherhood first. Now that her children are older, she's comfortable letting go so she can enjoy her personal interests.
"Obviously my kids are always going to come first – every parent feels that way – but it is nice to go back to work and feel of value or be able to contribute at least to the arts in a way that's meaningful to me," she explained.
