"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, 52, asked her to "stick her finger up his a*s."
REBEL RISING
In late March, a passage from Rebel's book was obtained by .
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,'"
HIS RESPONSE
In Sacha's response, the actor denied Rebel's 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.
Rebel's book was released in early April.
