Sacha Baron Cohen’s friends deny dating Hannah Palmer after dinner sighting

Sacha Baron Cohen’s friends say his dinner with American OnlyFans model Hannah Palmer was not a date. They were photographed leaving a restaurant together after having met on several occasions, but insiders say the meal was a pre-event meetup before they attended the same function.

The 53-year-old actor has been single since his split from Isla Fisher, 49, at the end of 2023 after 14 years of marriage and three children. The divorce was reportedly finalized in June, with sources describing the separation as amicable and private as Cohen begins navigating life after the long marriage.

The dating chatter intensified after Cohen and Palmer were seen at Taika Waititi’s star-studded 50th birthday celebration in Ibiza last month. The party, hosted by Waititi and Rita Ora, brought together a gathering of high-profile guests, including models and actors, at a private villa on the Spanish island. Palmar wore a leopard-print mini dress paired with knee-high boots while Cohen arrived in a colorful striped shirt and a flat cap. The pair appeared at the venue as part of a wider guest list, and photos captured them as they moved through the evening, reportedly leaving the event separately.

Palmer has built a sizable social-media following, with about 2.2 million Instagram followers and 575,000 on TikTok. Her online presence features a mix of vacation snaps and lifestyle content, and she has previously been associated with an OnlyFans account that she has said earned substantial income during its first year. Her circle includes figures such as Chantel Jeffries and Vas J Morgan, underscoring her ties to a well-connected entertainment scene.

Context around Cohen’s personal life adds to the intrigue. The comedian and Fisher first met at a party in Sydney in 2001, with Cohen later recalling a quick, humorous connection. They married roughly nine years later and welcomed three children before announcing a quiet separation in 2023. In April 2024, the couple posted a joint Instagram message reflecting on their long-relationship and commitment to their family, while reaffirming their wish for privacy as they co-parent. The divorce was finalized in June, and Cohen has since been navigating a renewed social arena as he pursues new professional and personal avenues.
