Sacha Baron Cohen and OnlyFans model Hannah Palmer are making headlines after being spotted dining out together earlier this week. While speculation about a romantic attachment has run rampant, an insider exclusively tells Us Weekly that their relationship is strictly platonic.
“They are merely friends and have interacted just a few times,” the source reveals. “With mutual friends in common, Sacha has taken on a mentorship role, providing insights into business and the acting world—and offering tips on navigating the Hollywood landscape.”
The 52-year-old comedian and the 27-year-old model were initially seen exiting a restaurant on September 26, ultimately climbing into the same Cadillac Escalade limo, which did not exactly quell the rumors.
Adding fuel to the fire, it seems they were also spotted mingling at a recent birthday bash for Taika Waititi in Ibiza. Footage shared on Instagram by guest Vas J Morgan depicts Cohen and Palmer seated closely together, sharing smiles as Rita Ora, Waititi’s partner, delivers a heartfelt speech.
For additional insight, we have reached out to representatives for both Cohen and Palmer.
This social event followed closely on the heels of Cohen’s divorce settlement from ex-wife Isla Fisher in June. In a statement made via Instagram, the duo expressed satisfaction in their past together, affirming their commitment to co-parent their children whilst requesting respect for their family’s privacy during this transition. “Our divorce has now been finalized. We are proud of all we’ve achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to coparenting our wonderful children,” they noted.
Cohen, 49, and Fisher, who share three children, had indicated that their separation took place a year prior to the public announcement made in 2024. They humorously likened their marriage termination to “a long tennis match” that, after more than two decades, had come to a close. “In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change,” they wrote in their Instagram post.
This announcement came amid a gossip storm fueled by Fisher’s solo appearances, including a notable appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscars party the previous month, where speculation about the couple’s split intensified. Those whispers turned into a full-blown narrative when a source confirmed they’d been living separate lives even before filing for divorce.
“They have been living separate lives since last year but wanted to give this space and time for their children to be OK with this before the news came out and they got all this attention,” a source stated. “They are notoriously very private people and wanted to focus on their family.”
Regarding Palmer, her OnlyFans account has reportedly been deactivated. Yet, she did make quite a splash initially, raking in around $5 million in her first year. Known for modeling for various brands such as Fashion Nova and Revolve, she maintains a sizeable following of over 2 million on Instagram.
Interestingly, Palmer seems to have a connection with Rita Ora, as evidenced by her previous appearances at events supporting the singer. This relationship likely explains her presence at Waititi’s birthday festivities.
