Florence Pughis hanging with a new partner.
Pugh previously datedZach Braff. The couple dated from 2019 until 2022, when the actress revealed thatshe and Braff, 47, quietly broke upin an interview withHarper’s BAZAAR.
“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 said in August.
“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,” she added. “So we’ve done that. … I automatically get a lumpy throat when I talk about it.”

The actress further opened upabout dating actor and director Braff(whom she worked with on the upcoming filmA Good Person) in the winter issue ofVogue.
“They imagined me with someone younger and someone in blockbusters,” she said of how people perceived their relationship. “I think young relationships in Hollywood are so easily twisted because they add to the gossip sites. It’s exciting to watch. And I think I was in a relationship that didn’t do any of that.”
Voguealso chatted with Braff for the cover story, and he praised his ex-girlfriend, saying, “I quite simply think she’s one of the greatest actors of her generation. She’s just magnetic. You cannot take your eyes off of her.”
