Who is Florence Dating? Two years after announcing her split from Zach Braff, Florence Pugh has found love again, and it’s creating quite the buzz! In a candid chat with British Vogue in September 2024, she shared her infectious passion for love: “If magic exists, it’s definitely in falling in love. I adore taking care of people and having someone who cares for me just as deeply. This time, I’m ensuring my choices lead to what I truly want—safety, family, home, and security.”
While she didn’t drop names, Florence did hint at the fluid dynamics of her new relationship: “We’re exploring what we are, taking things slow and letting it develop naturally. It’s refreshing not to rush and to let it be real at its core.” She mused on the thrill of new love: “Falling is incredible, but if that’s all a relationship is, it won’t endure.”
This revelation coincides with The Sun‘s September 4 report that Pugh is “secretly dating” 28-year-old Peaky Blinders star Finn Cole. The pair sparked intrigue when they were spotted leaving The Perfect Couple’s London premiere after-party holding hands, according to a guest who spoke to the Daily Mail.
Though neither has confirmed the romantic rumors, Florence and Finn have been supportive friends for years. With this new glimpse into her love life and their public appearances, there’s plenty to discover about Cole and his connection to the charismatic actress!
Pugh has been open about how she is looking for someone with whom she can start a family someday.
Pugh spoke to British Vogue about how working on We Live in Time changed the way she approached her love life. “I was at the right age for this movie to land,” she said. “I was going through a lot of weird stuff with relationships last year, and I think part of the story is to not be passive, is not to let things wash over you.
She clarified that she has wanted children for a long time: “Oh, I’ve always been thinking about starting a family,” she said. “I’ve wanted to have kids since I was a child myself. If ever there’s a dinner party, I go straight to the kids to chat to them. So much easier. I love the honesty. I love how bored they can get. I’ve never stopped knowing that I want to have kids. It’s just figuring out when.”
Pugh revealed she isn’t planning on discussing her love life publicly.
While Pugh spoke a little about her relationship with her ex Zach Braff, she told British Vogue that she prefers to keep her private life just that. “I think for anyone I’m with, I want to protect them,” she said. “It’s not nice knowing that people are saying the worst things I’ve ever read about someone that I love. So that was necessary. I needed to talk about it [Braff]. I think any relationship in this limelight is going to be stressed.”
The Sun claimed that Pugh and Cole were secretly dating in early September.
A source spoke to the British tabloid and alleged that Cole and Pugh had struck up a romance that they were trying to keep under the radar.
A source told The Sun that Pugh and Cole were at The Perfect Couple’s London premiere after-party on September 3. “Florence and Finn appeared to be very much together, and they were having a great time,” the insider claimed. “They kept a low profile at the premiere and party and left out of the back door together and got into the same car. They were there to support friends in the film and seemed keen not to be pictured or seen. Florence and Finn seemed very happy together. But they made a quick exit when the event was wrapping up, and slipped away.” Daily Mail ran photos of them there and wrote that they left in the same car.
DeuxMoi received multiple submissions about Cole and Pugh being sighted together.
An unverified celebrity gossip outlet published multiple submissions from people saying they saw Cole and Pugh together in London on September 15. One person wrote, “She was gazing into his eyes [and] looked very in love.”
Pugh and Cole have been friends since 2017.
Pugh has been publicly supportive of Cole for years. She first started liking his Instagram in June 2017.
She most recently liked and commented on his latest Speedo (where Cole’s abs were on display as he wore a red speedo). Pugh wrote, “Oh my gosh this is unbelievably exciting!” She added a second comment, adding, “Granny Pat wants to come.. #obvi.
