14 DAY TRIAL // Australian actress Isla Fisher and British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen started dating in 2002, which is also when speculation on whether they’d marry also began. Despite the fact that they got engaged about two years later, the couple chose not to walk down the aisle for fear that leaks to the media would make of the ceremony a genuine circus – which is why they opted for a very intimate wedding, X17 Online says.
The couple married last weekend in Paris, as one email from Isla to one of her friends that leaked to the media can also confirm. To avoid scrutiny from the press, the couple did not disclose the wedding day – not even to their closest friends. Instead, they opted for a very intimate Jewish ceremony in Paris, surrounded only by family members, and very close and dear friends, it is being said.
“Isla Fisher, 34, and Sacha Baron Cohen, 38, tied the knot last Monday in Paris, the actress confirmed to friends in an email. She wrote: ‘We did it – we’re married! It was the absolute best day of my life and in so many beautiful moments I missed you all so much. I thought of you as everything was happening, but Sacha and I wanted no fuss – just us!’” X17 writes by means of confirmation of the happy news.
“The Australian actress and British actor / comedian have been engaged for six years. They met at a party in Sydney in 2002. They have a two year-old daughter, Olive. Fisher and Cohen wed in a traditional Jewish ceremony. Fisher converted to Judaism while pregnant with Olive,” the same paparazzi agency writes. In having such a small ceremony, the two stars have successfully managed to avoid grabbing the spotlight for something they wanted to be an intimate affair.
So far, reps for the couple have remained unavailable for comment or, if case be, confirmation of the above.
