Actress Florence Pugh, who dated Zach Braff for three years until their split in 2022, has opened up on her 'magical' new romance as she confirmed she's in a new relationship

British actress Florence Pugh, the star of 'We Live In Time', has confirmed she's in a new relationship.

The actress, who was previously linked to 'Scrubs' actor Zach Braff for three years until their split in 2022, described "falling in love" as magical while discussing her new romance. Speaking to British Vogue, she said: "I am [in a relationship]. OK, so something that I resonate with is that I believe that if magic is real, then it's falling in love."

Although she didn't reveal the identity of her new beau, Florence, who has recently been associated with 'Peaky Blinders' actor Finn Cole, emphasised her desire to "take time to let something evolve". She continued: "We are figuring what we actually are. 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."

She acknowledged that "falling is the most amazing feeling", but stressed that more is needed for a lasting romance. She elaborated: "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." Reflecting on her past relationship with Zach, Florence expressed her instinct to "wants to protect" anyone she's involved with.

She concluded: "I think for anyone I'm with, I want to protect them. It's not nice knowing that people are saying the worst things I've ever read about someone that I love." Florence spoke candidly about the challenges of relationships in the spotlight, stating: "So that was necessary. I needed to talk about it. I think any relationship in this limelight is going to be stressed."

Turning her attention to future dreams, Florence expressed a deep-rooted desire for a large family: "I've wanted to have kids since I was a child myself. I love the idea of a big family. I come from a big family. I love kids. I love hanging out with kids." She went on to say, "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."
