Christian Hogue has responded after photographs from a group yacht trip in Mallorca led social-media users to claim that he was dating Pedro Pascal or had been paid to accompany the actor. The 34-year-old model was photographed talking and laughing with Pascal aboard a luxury yacht off the coast of Spain on July 28th. Jason Bateman, Judd Apatow and several other friends were also aboard, but some online discussion focused on photographs showing Hogue and Pascal together. Hogue denied both claims in a since-deleted Instagram comment, saying he had been welcomed onto the yacht as a friend. The original Instagram comment appears to have been deleted, but screenshots continued circulating on X and were reproduced by entertainment outlets.
