Fisher first met the English
comedian Sacha Baron Cohen in 2002 at a party in Sydney, Australia. The couple
became engaged in 2004 and married on 15 March 2010, in Paris, France. The
couple have two daughters and one son, Olive (born 2007), Elula Lottie Miriam
(born August 2010),[31] and Montgomery Moses Brian (born 2015).
Before marrying, Fisher
converted to Judaism, saying, "I will definitely have a Jewish wedding
just to be with Sacha. 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.
