Sacha Baron Cohen stars alongside Rosamund Pike in the new Netflix gender-war comedy Ladies First, a film that reverses traditional gender roles when his character, a chauvinistic corporate boss, wakes up in a matriarchal world.
In the real world, Sacha is a doting father to two daughters and a son, who are growing up with the same opportunities for privacy and normalcy as their peers, away from the pervasive gaze of public scrutiny.

Both are highly recognized for their work in the entertainment world, yet they have chosen to keep their family life distinctly separate from the limelight, and emphasized the need to protect their children in an era dominated by social media, when they shared news of their split.

"In 2023, we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change. We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy.”

"It's about giving our children the space and freedom to just be kids, away from the public eye," Isla explained, admitting that navigating parenting in a social media landscape "means being even more vigilant about their privacy".
"Our children deserve a normal childhood — the kind where they can play outside, free from the pressures and scrutiny that come with public exposure."

Olive, now 18, Elula, 10, and nine-year-old Montgomery never appear on their parent's social media accounts, and in 2020, the family's decision to relocate to Australia during the pandemic was a move towards grounding themselves in Isla's heritage and providing their children with a semblance of normalcy.
"There’s something inherently magical about being home in Australia. It’s where I can truly be myself, surrounded by the warmth of the people and the natural beauty. It’s a nurturing place for our children to experience," Isla told Marie Claire Australia.

The family, including Isla, now live in London.
Isla has also tapped her children as creative collaborators, especially when she wrote the children's book series Marge and Mazy series.
"My children are my toughest critics and my most creative co-conspirators. Their feedback is invaluable, and it’s these moments of shared creativity that bring us closer," she revealed to Women Weekly.
