If you’ve spent any time in the corner of the internet where R&B stans and Disney fans collide, you’ve probably seen the name "Jonah" swirling around Chloe x Halle Twitter threads. It’s one of those things where if you blink, you miss the context, and suddenly everyone is talking about "Jonah" like he’s a long-lost cousin or a secret collaborator.
But who is he, really?
Usually, when people are typing "Jonah Chloe x Halle Twitter" into a search bar, they aren't looking for a single person. They are usually looking for one of two very different men who became "main characters" in the sisters' digital orbit: Jonah Hauer-King, Halle’s Little Mermaid co-star, or Jonah Hill, the actor who once shared a viral, slightly awkward, but mostly wholesome moment with the duo.
Let’s get into the weeds of why these names keep popping up and what the actual tea is.
The Prince Eric Factor: Jonah Hauer-King and the Halle Connection
When Halle Bailey was cast as Ariel, the world held its breath. Then came Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric. From the moment the press tour for The Little Mermaid began, Twitter (now X) was absolutely convinced these two had a vibe.
Fans are experts at "shipping." They see a look, a shared laugh during a junket, or a supportive tweet, and suddenly the "Jonah and Halle" tag is trending. On Twitter, Jonah Hauer-King became a darling of the Chloe x Halle fan base because of how he defended Halle against the wave of racist backlash she faced.
He didn't just play her love interest; he was her loudest cheerleader.

Why the rumors won't die
Honestly, it’s mostly just fan fiction come to life. People love a co-star romance. However, things got messy on Twitter when fans started comparing Jonah to Halle’s actual partner at the time, DDG.
Twitter became a battlefield. You had one side posting clips of Jonah Hauer-King looking "respectfully" at Halle during interviews, and the other side trying to figure out if there was real-life drama brewing. Most of it was just noise, but it kept "Jonah" and "Halle" linked in the algorithm for months.
That Time Jonah Hill Became a Chloe x Halle Stan
Then there’s the other Jonah.
Years ago, during the Ungodly Hour era, Jonah Hill basically became the unofficial third member of the group—at least according to Twitter memes. It started when he was spotted at one of their performances or mentioned them in an interview.
The internet did what it does best: it made it weird, then it made it funny.
Twitter users started photoshopping Jonah Hill into Chloe x Halle album covers. Why? Because the contrast between his "indie-sleaze/skater-dad" aesthetic and their "ethereal R&B goddesses" energy was comedy gold. For a few weeks, you couldn't scroll through the #CxH tag without seeing Jonah Hill's face.

It wasn't a scandal. It was just a weirdly wholesome "cross-over episode" that the internet obsessed over.
The "Jonah Halle" Confusion
Recently, a new name has popped up: Jonah Halle.
Now, this is where it gets tricky. There is a rising social media personality named Jonah Halle who has been trending for his fashion choices, particularly around events like the Met Gala. Because he shares a last name with Halle Bailey’s first name, the Twitter search results are a total disaster.
- Is he related to them? No.
- Is he a secret brother? Also no.
- Is he just a guy with a name that triggers the algorithm? Precisely.
People see "Jonah Halle" trending and immediately think there’s a new development with the Bailey sisters. In reality, he’s a separate entity entirely, carving out his own space in the fashion and "influencer" world.
Why "Jonah Chloe x Halle" Still Trends in 2026
You'd think these associations would fade, but Twitter has a long memory. Every time Chloe or Halle posts a solo update—like Chloe’s recent teases for a 2025/2026 album—the "Jonah" mentions creep back in.
If Halle is seen at an event, people ask where Jonah Hauer-King is. If Chloe does something experimental, someone inevitably brings back the Jonah Hill memes. It’s a testament to how deeply these sisters are embedded in pop culture that their names are permanently tethered to these random moments in time.

Navigating the Noise
If you’re trying to find "the truth" behind the Jonah Chloe x Halle Twitter threads, you have to look at the date of the tweets.
- 2020-2021 era: It’s almost certainly Jonah Hill memes and Ungodly Hour hype.
- 2023-2024 era: It’s 100% Jonah Hauer-King and The Little Mermaid ship wars.
- 2025-2026 era: It’s likely confusion regarding Jonah Halle (the influencer) or nostalgic fans wishing for a Little Mermaid reunion.
The sisters themselves have always been professional. They don't engage in the shipping wars, and they rarely address the memes. They’ve moved into their solo eras—Chloe with her high-energy performances and Halle with her motherhood journey and cinematic career.
The "Jonah" saga is mostly a creation of a fan base that is incredibly protective and, frankly, very bored between album cycles.
How to keep up without the drama
If you actually want the real updates on the sisters without the "Jonah" clutter, your best bet is to follow their separate handles—@chloebailey and @HalleBailey—which they launched back in 2021 to establish their individual identities.
Staying updated means looking past the "Jonah" trending topics and focusing on their actual discography. With rumors of a new joint album on the horizon, the Twitter noise is only going to get louder. Just remember: not everything that trends is a "scandal." Sometimes it’s just a three-year-old meme that refuses to die.
To get the most out of your fan experience, try filtering your Twitter searches to "from:chloebailey" or "from:HalleBailey" to cut through the speculation and get the facts straight from the source.
