Sacha Baron Cohen’s friends deny dating Hannah Palmer after dinner sighting
Friends say a dinner with American OnlyFans model Hannah Palmer was casual and not a romantic outing, as the actor moves on from his split with Isla Fisher.
Sacha Baron Cohen’s friends are denying reports that the actor is dating American OnlyFans model Hannah Palmer, following paparazzi pictures of them leaving a restaurant together earlier this week. The two have met on several occasions and share mutual friends, according to people familiar with the matter, who stressed that the dinner was not a date. A source told the Daily Mail that “someone seems to have been making mischief and trying to put two and two together to make five,” adding that Cohen has offered Palmer advice about Hollywood and acting, but that the meeting occurred before an event and they went their separate ways once there.
The pair were later photographed at Taika Waititi’s 50th birthday party in Ibiza last month, where other guests included high-profile names and a villa full of A-listers. Palmer, a social media influencer with a following of about 2.2 million on Instagram and 575,000 on TikTok, has built her profile with bikini content from vacations to Hawaii, Mexico and St. Tropez, and is connected in the industry through friends such as Rita Ora and other party circles. Sacha Baron Cohen, 53, was also on the guest list as the group gathered for the star-studded celebration.
Evidence from the night in Ibiza shows Palmer arriving in a leopard-print mini-dress and knee-high boots, with Cohen arriving in a colorful striped shirt and a flat cap as they left the event together, according to attendees and accompanying coverage. The party’s villa hosted a roster of guests, including Kate Moss, Matt Damon, Sebastian Stan, and Natasha Lyonne, underscoring the star-studded nature of the weekend gathering. The images circulating online come amid renewed interest in whether Cohen is pursuing a relationship after years of marriage and a high-profile divorce.
Palmer’s online presence and earnings have drawn notice in recent years. As well as her social media footprint, she has publicly discussed her past work on an OnlyFans account, which she said earned her a substantial income in its first year. Her profile has grown alongside her modeling and lifestyle content, turning her into a recognizable figure in entertainment circles. Cohen’s circle has long intersected with fashion, film, and television talent, and friends say this is a case of two familiar faces crossing paths in a way that is social and professional rather than romantic.
On the personal front, Cohen’s public life has been marked by his separation from Isla Fisher in late 2023 after about 14 years of marriage. The couple, who share three children, finalized their divorce in June after announcing their separation the previous year. They have since maintained a focus on privacy and family life, sharing posts about tennis and other private moments in a joint statement that emphasized their commitment to their children. The recent sightings of Cohen with Palmer have reignited questions about his relationship status, but the parties involved have indicated that there is no romance to report at this time.
Sources familiar with the matter say Cohen has been single for almost two years and is navigating a return to the social and professional worlds at a measured pace. They described him as enjoying new introductions and opportunities while taking things slowly as he re-enters public life after his divorce."
