✅

You can combine the two forms in one:

class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = User


class UserProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # magic 
        self.user = kwargs['instance'].user
        user_kwargs = kwargs.copy()
        user_kwargs['instance'] = self.user
        self.user_form = UserForm(*args, **user_kwargs)
        # magic end 

        super(UserProfileForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        self.fields.update(self.user_form.fields)
        self.initial.update(self.user_form.initial)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.user_form.save(*args, **kwargs)
        return super(ProfileForm, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile

There are a few options here but i would just use a simple TemplateView or similar

Instantiate the forms in get and post with the appropriate params

    def get(...):
        self.user_form = UserForm(instance=user)
        self.profile_form = ProfileForm(instance=profile)
        return super().get(...)

    def post(...)
        self.user_form = UserForm(request.POST, instance=user)
        self.profile_form = ProfileForm(request.POST, instance=profile)
        if valid:
          save_stuff()
          return redirect()
        return render_to_response(...) or super().get(...)

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(ProfileEdit, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['forms'] = [self.user_form, self.profile_form]
        return context

Then get_context_data will not handle logic for get or post
