Florence Pugh has confirmed she’s in a relationship.
The Dune and Oppenheimer star, who will next be seen in We Live in Time, opened up about her current personal life in a new interview.
Asked if she was in a relationship by British Vogue, she replied: “I am,” before adding: “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. 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.”
She added: “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.”

Pugh explained that she and her partner hadn’t put a label on things, but noted that she wasn’t allowing herself “to go on a roller-coaster” for the first time in her life.
“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 continued.
“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.”
During the interview, Pugh also addressed her previous relationship with Zach Braff, which ended in 2022, and the public scrutiny surrounding it.

“I had to be public in the past because people were bullying me and bullying my partner,” she said.
“Mine and Zach’s relationship was actually quite private until it was nasty, and I could see the toll that it was taking on him and us and our families. And that’s when I spoke out.
“I think for anyone I’m with, I want to protect them,” Pugh continued. “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. I think any relationship in this limelight is going to be stressed.”
