In an interview from February, the actress is seen chatting to Kelly Clarkson on her chat show about her Valentine's Day plans.

As she chatted about Sacha, 52, the Australian star seemed smitten with her husband, despite the fact by this point they had already split up.

Host Kelly asked Isla if she had any Valentine's Day traditions, to which she replied: "Every year Sacha does give me a card that [says] 'happy Valentine's from...' and then there's a massive question mark, as if anybody else would... as if I have any other Valentines."

What makes this answer so awkward, is that according to the estranged couple's statement, they had already split up.

The interview came just weeks before Rebel Wilson made shock claims about her experience with comedian Sacha in her new memoir, Rebel Rising.

Following the Pitch Perfect star's explosive claims, Sacha and Isla announced yesterday that they were divorcing.

The couple shared the news about their split in a jointly posted Instagram Story.

In the snapshot, the two wore all-white tennis gear as they cuddled together.

"After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down," they wrote.

"In 2023, we jointly filed to end our marriage."

"We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been working through this change," the post continued.

"We forever share in our devotion and love for our children."

"We sincerely appreciate you respecting our families' wish for privacy," the text concluded.

The pair walked down the aisle back in March 2010.

We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people in the party.

They share three children including two teenage daughters and a young son.

In 2002, they met for the first time at a party in Sydney, Australia.

Eight years later, in 2010, the Borat star opened up about their relationship to The New York Times.

"She was hilarious!" Sacha said at the time.

"We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people in the party."

"I knew instantly. I don't know if she did. It's taken her about 20 years to know," he closed.

In November 2022, Isla discussed her marriage to The Australian Women's Weekly.

"I love marriage. I think it's a wonderful institution and it's the most important decision you make," the Wedding Crashers star shared.

"Life is filled with highs and lows, and you have a best friend to share it with you. It's amazing."

"It's like winning the lottery, having a good partner," Isla commented.

The split came after Rebel Wilson's tell-all memoir, Rebel Rising, detailed a supposed incident where Sacha asked her to "stick her finger up his a*s."

In late March, a passage from Rebel's book was obtained by People Magazine.

The passage claimed Sacha pestered her to strip off.

Rebel claimed Sacha told her to, "Stick a finger up his a**," to make a funny scene.

"It felt like every time I'd speak to SBC, he'd mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene," she wrote in her book.

"I was like, 'Ha, I don't do nudity, Sacha,'"

Following the news of Isla and Sacha's split Rebel has broken her social media silence.

Taking to her official Instagram account, the actress promoted an upcoming event.

She posted a link for fans to buy tickets to the live show, which takes place on Monday in Los Angeles.

In a follow-up, she posted a snap of the book and said: "UK and AUS momentarily delayed by an a**hole but not for long."

Meanwhile, actor Sacha has previously denied Rebel's explosive claims and said he never forced her to strip down.

A spokesperson also released a statement on behalf of Sacha.

"While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby," the spokesperson explained.

Nine cast members have also backed Sacha's claims that the alleged scene was written into the script.
