Jewish actor Sacha Baron Cohen and his longtime girlfriend Isla Fisher were married privately in Paris, according to the Australian magazine Women’s Day. It reported that the couple were married March 15 in the presence of a handful of relatives.
Fisher converted to Judaism in 2007 after three years of study, reportedly in order to marry in a Jewish ceremony. The couple, who have been engaged since 2004, have a 2-year-old daughter.
“I will definitely have a Jewish wedding just to be with Sacha,” Fisher told the London Evening Standard in 2004. “I would do anything — move into any religion — to be united in marriage with him. We have a future together, and religion comes second to love as far as we are concerned.”
The couple had postponed their wedding several times. — jta
