Isla Fisher was "really, really, really shocked" by Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's split.

The Now You See Me: Now You Don't star - who split from Sacha Baron Cohen in 2024 after more than 23 years together - confirmed she had reached out to offer support to her fellow Australian actress after news broke last month that she and the country singer had gone their separate ways after 19 years of marriage.

Appearing on the Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade podcast, Isla, 49, said: "I've been married for 23 years. I only just got... separated, divorced."

Dana, 70, then asked Isla how it felt to have a friend like Nicole who is also "going through something".

She replied: "I'm really, really, really shocked.

"I have left a message, I have not connected yet, but I don't really wanna comment on that because there are children involved."

Isla recently reflected on how she is ready to embrace her "new identity as somebody outside of a partnership".

She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I've had a tough couple of years, but I'm making it through. 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.

"That's been one of the benefits of a challenging situation: the luxury of asking myself, What would I like to do professionally and privately? ...

"I'm trying to remind myself of my new identity as somebody outside of a partnership and to stay as buoyant as possible. Any time there's change, it's hard to adapt. But hopefully I'm doing an okay job."

Isla previously called her divorce the "most difficult thing" she's been through, but insisted at the time that she and the Borat star remained focused on their three children.

She told The Sunday Times newspaper: "I've learned so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated, but we are committed and loving parents ...

"Kids are the most important thing, and you want them to really feel safe and loved. We are building a new, healthy version of what our family looks like and putting as much care and love into it as possible."
