Isla spoke about her split with the Borat star during a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar Australia.
With their divorce finalized in June, Isla said she has been finding her “new identity” outside of her partnership with her ex-husband.

“I’m trying to remind myself of my new identity as somebody outside of a partnership and to stay as buoyant as possible,” she told the outlet.
“Any time there’s change, it’s hard to adapt. But hopefully I’m doing an OK job,” she added.
The former couple, who tied the knot in 2010, said they filed for divorce in 2023

The Confessions of a Shopaholic actress has been open about her heartbreak since her split.
“I’ve had a tough couple of years, but I’m making it through,” she said.

The Australian star is now looking forward to giving her career a renewed kind of focus.
“I’m really excited for the next chapter. I’m refocusing on my career because previously I was very much focused on my kids, which I still am, obviously, because [they’re] my true love. But I’m enjoying tackling work again,” she said.

Isla said “one of the benefits of a challenging situation” was having “the luxury of asking myself, ‘What would I like to do professionally and privately?’”
The actress, who shares two daughters and one son with Sacha, said earlier this year that she never imagined her family being separated.

“It’s the most difficult thing that I’ve been through and I’ve learnt so much about myself in the process,” she told The Sunday Times back in February.
“I never imagined my family being separated, but we are committed and loving parents,” she admitted.

Her latest revelations to Harper’s Bazaar Australia came weeks after Sacha flaunted what the internet declared was his “revenge body” following their divorce.
The English actor flaunted his buff body on the cover of Men’s Fitness UK, posing shirtless with a dumbbell in each hand.
The comedian said on social media that he was “hard-launching [his] mid-life crisis” and “debuting [his] new character” of a “middle-aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes.”

He also touched upon some of the elements that helped him muscle-up.
“Some celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, others use personal trainers,” he said. “I did all three.”
The photos caused a massive frenzy online, with one commenter saying, “Divorce will do that to you.”
“Single mode activated,” another quipped.

Isla and Sacha’s separation had its share of drama over the last year.
A source previously claimed that the accusations against Sacha in Rebel Wilson’s book were a “catalyst” for Isla to finally announce that they had broken up.

The Rebel-Sacha controversy stemmed from their 2016 movie The Brothers Grimsby.
Rebel claimed in her book Rebel Rising that the actor pressured her to strip for their intimate scenes in the film and even asked her to “stick [her] finger up [his] butt” for one scene.
The Dictator actor has vehemently denied the claims.

After Rebel’s allegations in her book, sources claimed Isla wanted the world to know that she and Sacha were no longer together.
“She’s got her own career and reputation to worry about,” the source told The Sun. “Those close to her said it was starting to get embarrassing with all of the allegations that were spilling out of Rebel’s book.”

Another insider said Rebel’s accusations were not the reason for Isla and Sacha’s breakup announcement.
The notoriously private couple had been living separately for a year before they were ready to tell the world about their split, the insider said.
They “wanted to give this space and time for their children to be OK with this before the news came out and they got all this attention,” they told Us Weekly last April.

In June, the former couple announced that their divorce had been finalized.
“We are proud of all we’ve achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children,” they added. “We ask for the media to continue to respect our children’s privacy.”
“Easier to divorce him I guess,” one commenter wrote online
