It may have been some time since Florence Pugh was with her previous partner, Zach Braff, but she is getting candid about the relationship. In a cover story from Vogue, she talked about the perception people had of her dating an older man and how that fed gossip.

The relationship was largely quiet when it happened between Florence Pugh and Zach Braff. At some point, they went from friends to a couple. As she was 23 and he was 43 in 2019 when they started dating, people had opinions for sure. They wanted to not be “in anyone’s faces” as “people didn’t like it.” For the Midsommar star, she looked at it as people expecting the type of person she would date.

The two have kept it professional and remain in a good friendship. Breaking up has not disrupted any kind of platonic relationship between Florence Pugh and Zach Braff, whether that is a friendship or a partnership as collaborators in the film industry as she continues to skyrocket and he grows his directorial efforts. The two are about to work together in A Good Person, where she played the lead, and he directed and wrote the upcoming drama. The film is due March 24, and after filming, the Scrubs star has nothing but positive things to say about his ex.

“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.”

The MCU actress revealed that their relationship ended last year for Harper’s BAZAAR September 2022 cover. After already going through all the gossip and press about being together, they decided to break it off quietly as it would be a “benefit of not having millions of people telling us how happy they are that we’re not together.”
