It was all smiles and cheers for Aussie actress Isla Fisher, whose attendance at Wimbledon Day Eight marks her first public appearance since confirming her split from Sacha Baron Cohen.

Although Fisher has shared tidbits online from holidays and intimate dinners, this is the first time members of the public have seen the actress out and about, and she didn't disappoint.

The 48-year-old actress was seen cheering and having the time of her life in the stands as she watched the on-court action at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club.

Before this, the last time she made an official public appearance was at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March.

Weeks later, Fisher and Baron Cohen announced they had split after more than 20 years together.

"After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down," they wrote in a joint statement alongside a photo of them dressed in their tennis whites – so it's only fitting her first official public appearance since the announcement was tennis-related.

"We have always prioritised our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change," the statement continued.

Fisher and Baron Cohen, 52, share three children – daughters Olive, 16, and Elula 13, as well as son Montgomery, nine.

The news came after Baron Cohen got into a public clash with Rebel Wilson, over allegations of on-set behaviour from the Australian actress on the set of their 2016 spy action comedy Grimsby.

Baron Cohen denied the allegations, calling Wilson's claims "demonstrably false".

Fisher and Baron Cohen got engaged in 2004, and married in Paris in 2010.
