Isla Fisher has taken a bold step back into the dating scene following her high-profile split from husband Sacha Baron Cohen. The 50-year-old actress was recently spotted getting close to footballer Larry Cohen, 38, as they shared a cosy moment together in the heart of London. 
The pair were seen in the trendy Notting Hill area, making their way to Soho House last Saturday, where they couldn’t hide their smiles. Larry, the former South African footballer, was photographed with his arm around Isla’s shoulder, guiding her towards a waiting taxi, both beaming with happiness.
Isla, looking stunning in a cropped leather jacket, jeans, and heels, turned heads as she walked alongside Larry, who was dressed in a long black coat and chinos. The couple appeared at ease, not shying away from displaying some public affection.

But who is Larry Cohen, the man Isla’s been spotted with? Born in Johannesburg, Larry once played for Ajax Cape Town. He even earned a call-up to Lithuania’s national team in 2014 but was blocked from playing by FIFA due to the age of his heritage.
Their PDA-filled evening comes just months after Isla and Sacha, 54, finalized their divorce in June 2025. The couple, who were married for 14 years, made the announcement of their split at the end of 2023. Since then, Isla has openly shared her struggles post-divorce, admitting it’s been an emotionally challenging time.
In an interview last November, Isla revealed that the year after the divorce had been about rebuilding her ‘sense of self,’ focusing on personal growth and self-reflection. She also reflected on how the separation gave her the opportunity to reconnect with old passions and relationships that had taken a back seat during her marriage.
Meanwhile, Sacha’s approach to single life has been far more public. Just three months after their divorce was finalized, he was spotted with 27-year-old model Hannah Palmer and later seen with 26-year-old social media influencer Kelsey Calemine.
Isla’s reflection on the situation took a positive turn, as she shared with NewBeauty, “There are lots of positives that have come about from all this—self-exploration and just trying to be kind to myself.” She added that the breakup allowed her to focus on nurturing old friendships and relationships that she had neglected during her marriage.
Could this romance with Larry be just the beginning of a new chapter for Isla? Fans are eager to see how her journey of self-discovery unfolds.
