That was about a single model
This is when you have 2 models.
If I was to pur the focus point on model on lefts face, would the other model still be in focus?
What focus point would I use if I wanted to take a photo of 3 people stood in a row?

You get slightly more dof behind the subject, so I would focus on the nearest hunk, and use an aperture that brought the farthest hunk into acceptable focus (f4 - 5.6 probably but I'd check). Focussing on the shoulder (the furthest part of him) as sk66 shows, would make sense.

The merest hunk? But they are both stood a table the same level. No neither one is nearest
Nice typo.
They don't *appear* to be on the same focal plane in the image above.
That would depend on the depth of field of sharp focus available with the lens and aperture you were using. With your lens at 18mm and set to f11 then everything would be in focus, but set to 35mm and f1.8 then probably not.
Yeah I want them both in focus and a nice blurred background. I just wasn’t sure if it mattered if the focus point was on one of the lad rather than the other

The answer is still the same, as above, and I’m sure I’ve written a detailed response to this, 1 plane of focus, control the DoF to ensure everything else is ‘close enough to being in focus’
As the OP is shooting Canon, simply get a TS-E lens and swing the plane of focus around to cover both subjects wherever they are
