Today Isla, 48, was seen looking downcast she was snapped walking her dog in north London without her wedding ring.
The Confessions of a Shopaholic star attempted to fly under the radar and cut a casual figure in a blue and white maxi dress and a white leather jacket.
She wore fluffy pink slippers for the outing and covered up in sunglasses, with her trademark red hair pulled back.
In a photo shared on Friday, Isla and Sacha, 52, wore all-white tennis gear as they cuddled together.

They share three children: two teen daughters and a nine-year-old.
This week The Sun revealed Isla first approached a divorce lawyer back in 2022.
It is understood the star quietly contacted £550-an-hour Fiona Shackleton — Sir Paul McCartney’s legal expert in his £24million split from Heather Mills.
In June 2022, The Sun contacted representatives for Isla and Sacha regarding this, but they denied it.
But on Friday, the couple confirmed they had split last year — months after The Sun first approached them.
Baroness Shackleton, who also negotiated the then Prince Charles’ divorce to Princess Diana, advised the couple to go down an “amicable route”.

All the signs Isla and Sacha had secretly split
The couple have revealed they actually split last year, despite only just revealing their divorce.
Here we look at the signs they had already broken up before revealing their split news:
Social media silence - Sacha has been absent from Instagram since last Christmas.
Spending time with friends - Isla has been been following that classic post break-up move of spending more time with her girlfriends.
Hidden ring finger - No fans noticed at the time, but in many Instagram shots from this year, Isla has hidden her right hand so her wedding finger was not visible in many shots.
Missing man - The last image Isla shared of her and Sacha prior to the divorce announcement was back in November last year.
