Sacha Baron Cohen is once again in the spotlight, but this time it is not for his outrageous comedy. The 53-year-old actor, best known for his alter egos Borat and Ali G, has sparked a wave of scandalous headlines after being linked to 26-year-old model Hannah Palmer. The pair were photographed leaving a Los Angeles hotspot together, immediately igniting rumours of a romance that has left fans divided.

According to The Sun, Cohen and Palmer allegedly first connected last month in Ibiza at Taika Waititi’s blowout 50th birthday party. The exclusive bash was packed with stars, from Kate Moss to Matt Damon, but insiders say Cohen and Palmer’s chemistry stood out. Since then, whispers of a budding relationship have been making their way through Hollywood circles, with sources claiming the two have been meeting regularly.

The timing of this speculation has only added fuel to the fire. Cohen’s divorce from Isla Fisher, his wife of over a decade, was only finalised in June 2025. The split ended one of Hollywood’s most low-key but admired marriages, leaving many surprised at how quickly Cohen appears to be moving on. Some fans are questioning whether the comedian’s new connection with Palmer began sooner than the public realised, while others are simply stunned by the 27-year age difference.

Photos of the two dining together have gone viral, with reactions ranging from disbelief to outright criticism. Social media users have not held back, with one viral comment declaring that Cohen is acting like one of his own characters, pushing the boundaries of what people expect from him. Memes referencing Borat’s infamous catchphrases have flooded platforms, blending comedy with disapproval in true internet fashion.

Neither Cohen nor Palmer has publicly confirmed the nature of their relationship. Whether this is a serious romance, a casual fling, or simply a friendly connection remains unknown. Still, the images of them side by side have ensured that Cohen’s love life is firmly in the headlines.
