Florence Pughis in love, but she won't discuss it too much.
The Thunderbolts* star was previously more forthcoming about her relationships, but has resolved to keep her romantic life a bit more under wraps to protect her partners after the Internet trolled her ex Zach Braff relentlessly.
"I think for anyone I'm with, I want to protect them," she explained to Harper's Bazaar U.K. "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."

It appears so!
In September 2024, Pugh told Vogue U.K. that she is a romantic—and may well be in love at the present.
"Okay, so something that I resonate with is that I believe that if magic is real, then it's falling in love. And I am someone that loves falling in love," she gushed. "I love looking after people. I love caring for people. I love the feeling of someone being there. I love knowing that someone is thinking about me and someone cares for me in the same way that I'm thinking about caring for them. I think in this portion of my life, I'm trying to make sure that I'm making all the right decisions so that I can have the thing that I want … which is safety, family, a home and security."
She didn't name her beau at the time, but did open up about their status.
"We are figuring what we actually are," she admitted. "And I think for the first time, I'm not allowing myself to go on a roller coaster. I'm allowing myself to take time to let something evolve and let it be completely real to its core, as opposed to racing into that. Falling is the most amazing feeling, but unfortunately if that's the only thing that you know in a relationship, then that's the thing that you chase. That's not gonna last."

As of April 2025, Pugh is rumored to be in a relationship with actor Finn Cole. She hasn't spoken about him specifically by name, but he did walk the red carpet at Pugh's Los Angeles Thunderbolts* premiere (albeit separately).
Tellingly, Cole also posed with Pugh and her family at the same event.

Afterward, he posted a carousel of photos of himself—and one of Pugh and her co-stars—from the event. Pugh commented a melting face emoji on the photo, sending fans into a full-on tizzy.
Spies told The Daily Mail that Pugh and Cole were seen holding hands in September 2024 at an afterparty for the premiere of the film The Perfect Couple.
They'd been spotted together as early as July 2024, when fans posted photos of the pair together at the Glastonbury Music Festival.

They sure did.
The Don't Worry Darling star's romance with Braffended in 2022.
For nearly three years, the onetime Scrubs star and Black Widow actress enjoyed what appeared to be a totally happy romance—even while weathering the pandemic together, which they got through in part by co-fostering an adorable dog named Billie.
"We've been trying to do this separation without the world knowing, because it's been a relationship that everybody has an opinion on," Pugh told Harper’s Bazaar in August 2022. "We just felt something like this would really do us the benefit of not having millions of people telling us how happy they are that we;re not together. So we've done that. I automatically get a lumpy throat when I talk about it."
Will Zach Braff and Florence Pugh work together again?
The couple worked together on the film A Good Person in 2021. The film was written and directed by Braff. Pugh will star opposite Morgan Freeman. It's unclear whether they will make another movie together.

No one is quite sure when Pugh and Braff started dating, but by most accounts, they seem to have met when Pugh appeared in Braff’s short film, In the Time It Takes to Get There, which was filmed in 2018. By April of 2019, the pair were snapped holding hands.
When did Zach Braff and Florence Pugh become Instagram official?
Even though they were generally assumed to be together as public sightings piled up, Pugh and Braff tried to keep their relationship on the down low for a long while. Not only did they refrain from discussing their relationship, but they also chose not to appear together on red carpets, even when attending the same events.
Pugh first hinted at their connection in December 2019 when Braff responded to one of her Instagram photos. Someone replied, "You’re 44 years old," but Pugh swiftly defended her man by saying, "And yet he got it." The next month, Braff showed how close they were by posting pics of Pugh after her Oscar nomination for the film Little Women and again when she got ready for the big night—which he, notably, did not attend with her. (She took her mom instead.)

Pugh finally officially confirmed their relationship in April 2020, when she posted a pic of a sleeping Braff with their shared dog Billie on Instagram.
Their relationship was still going strong in early 2022, with both lovebirds posting birthday tributes to each other on Instagram. In January, Braff said, "What a gift it is to know you. What a gift to the world it is that you were born." Pugh called Braff a "magical person" that April.

Are Florence Pugh and Will Poulter together?
Nope! Pugh and Will Poulter are simply longtime platonic pals. The Midsommarco-stars were rumored to be dating after they were photographed at the beach together in spring 2022—but they weren't there alone.

“Ooookay. Man. This is getting a little silly now," Pugh wrote on her Instagram Story in May 2022 (via Us Weekly). "No, Will Poulter and I are not dating. We went to the beach with our friends, who are always about half a metre away from us in every picture, but have been cleverly cut out/framed out so that it looks otherwise. You can LITERALLY see my best friend in the corner of so many shots and Archie [Madekwe]'s arms at the sides.”
Back in February and March 2023, Florence Pugh was spotted several times with a man named Charlie Gooch. Press assumed that Pugh and Gooch were dating because they were seen close together in various photos, but nothing was ever substantiated.
