Two years after parting ways with Zach Braff, the talented Florence Pugh has opened up about her newfound romance, and the Tinseltown buzz couldn't be louder. Revealing her relationship status to British Vogue in September 2024, Pugh shared some heartfelt insights. "Okay, so something that I resonate with is that I believe that if magic is real, then it’s falling in love," she said, adding that she cherishes the feeling of being cared for and thinking about someone else in the same loving way.
Though keeping his name under wraps, rumors have swirled around her connection with Peaky Blinders star Finn Cole. Pugh's candid words about the fluid nature of their relationship made headlines. "We are figuring out what we actually are," she noted, emphasizing the importance of letting their relationship evolve naturally.
“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.”
Whispers of a romance between Cole and Pugh first surfaced in September 2024 after they were spotted leaving The Perfect Couple’s London premiere together. The gossip mill kicked into high gear, and fans were eager to know if this was just a fleeting rendezvous or something more substantial.
Fast forward to March 2026, and Pugh made things Instagram official with Cole. Sharing a glamorous shot from a Bulgari event, she captioned it with, “Bvlgari with my boys 😍”. The post was a clear signal to fans that things between them were on a solid path.
While Pugh was basking in the glow of new love, Cole, famous for his role as Michael Gray on Peaky Blinders, was no stranger to the limelight. Born in Kingston, South West London in 1995, Cole's acting journey took off thanks to a little nudge from his brother, Joe Cole. The two siblings became a dynamic duo on the show, and Finn's career took flight.
In interviews, Cole has always credited his fellow actors like Margot Robbie for honing his craft. "When I was on the train going in for my audition in London to meet Margot, I was very nervous," he recalled in a chat with Variety, pointing out how welcoming Robbie's presence was.
While both Pugh and Cole have busy careers, they're finding ways to navigate their relationship in the public eye. And even though Pugh has chosen to keep her private life mostly under wraps, the couple's occasional public appearances have kept fans thrilled. Whether it's a casual outing in NYC or a glamorous red carpet event, Pugh and Cole's story continues to be one to watch in the Hollywood scene.
