Sacha Baron Cohen Not Dating Hannah Palmer, Pal Says
A close associate tells Page Six the two were dining together but are not romantically involved, despite paparazzi photos.
Sacha Baron Cohen is not dating Hannah Palmer, despite photos showing them leaving a steakhouse together. A source close to Palmer told Page Six the two were simply dining and are not romantically involved. The Sun published images of Cohen, 53, and the OnlyFans model, 27, leaving the restaurant separately after a two-hour meal. Cohen and Palmer’s status comes as Cohen remains single following his divorce from Isla Fisher, which was settled in June.
According to the same reports, the duo arrived at about 8:30 p.m. and spent about two hours inside, with a source saying they were deep in conversation. The source added that, despite the age difference, they appeared to click and had much to talk about. A Palmer ally noted that the two had met a few times and share mutual friends, and that Cohen had offered guidance on acting and navigating Hollywood.
Palmer’s circle includes Rita Ora and Taika Waititi. The two were seen at Waititi’s 50th birthday celebration in August, where footage showed Ora with a speech and Cohen in the mix. The insider connected to Palmer said Cohen was giving her acting advice during their interaction, though he has not pursued a romance with Palmer.
Cohen’s divorce was finalized in June; a source said the newly single star is enjoying meeting new people and is taking things slowly as he adjusts to what is described as a new world for him. The sighting has drawn renewed public interest in Cohen’s personal life, but the strongest takeaway from the reporting remains that there was no confirmed romance between Cohen and Palmer.
Cohen has previously been married to Isla Fisher, and the timeline of his personal life has drawn attention as he navigates life as a single figure within Hollywood circles. A separate source emphasized that the two were at the same event and shared social connections, including mutual friends, but did not frame the dinner as a date. The Sun’s coverage, which sparked the initial conversation, noted that the pair left the venue separately, reinforcing the message from Palmer’s side that there was no romantic development.
The party circuit around Waititi’s circle has been a recurring touchpoint in this story. Video from the August birthday gathering showed Ora and Waititi publicly celebrating together, with Cohen present. While Palmer’s friends describe the dinner as a professional and personal cross‑section of Hollywood’s social network, the prevailing narrative remains that any perceived closeness did not constitute a romantic relationship. A Cohen representative did not dispute the photos but reiterated that his client is not dating Palmer.
In summary, while the two were photographed together and shared a dinner, multiple sources connected to Palmer and Cohen have stressed that the interaction was not a dating situation. As Cohen continues to redefine his personal life after his divorce, observers will likely watch for any future public appearances that might signal a new relationship or a continuing focus on collaborations within his professional circle.
