Fisher and Furness Share Low-Key London Dinner

Isla Fisher and Deborra-Lee Furness were seen at a low-key catch-up dinner at Granger & Co. in London's Notting Hill alongside Amanda de Cadenet. Both women are divorcees, formerly married to Sacha Baron Cohen and Hugh Jackman respectively.

Why it matters

The sighting offers a glimpse of a social circle formed by two women who have each navigated high-profile separations. It also highlights how public figures can keep a private social life even after divorce.

The sighting took place at Granger & Co. in West London, with Fisher and Furness joined by Amanda de Cadenet. Fisher divorced Sacha Baron Cohen in June 2025, and Furness split from Hugh Jackman in 2023.

The players

Isla Fisher

Australian actress and comedian known for Wedding Crashers and Confessions of a Shopaholic, currently starring in the comedy film Spa Weekend.

Deborra-Lee Furness

Australian actress known for her long marriage to Hugh Jackman and her work in the Australian film and television industry.

Sacha Baron Cohen

British comedian and actor best known for creating the character Ali G and for films such as Borat and Bruno.

The details

Isla Fisher and Deborra-Lee Furness were seen dining at Granger & Co. in Notting Hill, London, with Amanda de Cadenet. The gathering was described as low-key, and the women are both divorced from high-profile men, Fisher from Sacha Baron Cohen and Furness from Hugh Jackman.

Timeline

  1. June 2025: Isla Fisher divorced Sacha Baron Cohen.

  2. 2023: Deborra-Lee Furness split from Hugh Jackman.

  3. November 4, 2026: Fisher and Furness were spotted at the London dinner.

Culture Shift

Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G character has remained in public view for 26 years since first appearing on Da Ali G Show, outlasting many comedy personas of its era. Fisher's divorce from Baron Cohen therefore unfolds against a long shared public history between the two.

Ali G: Who Iz I? is available to stream on Amazon Prime, giving viewers a way to watch the film without relying on limited cinema screenings. Fisher's Spa Weekend, which stars Leslie Mann, Anna Faris and Michelle Buteau, is the comedy she has most recently been promoting.

The takeaway

Public figures often keep personal friendships intact through divorce, and a quiet dinner can signal continuity as much as change. Readers interested in celebrity separations can follow reporting on how such relationships evolve over time.
