- April 3, 2026
AceShowbiz - Florence Pugh has officially confirmed her relationship with Finn Cole by sharing a heartfelt photo on Instagram that captured a special moment from a glamorous event in Milan. More than a year after rumors first swirled about their romance, the actress and the Peaky Blinders star took to social media to share glimpses of their bond, putting speculation to rest in a very stylish way.
On March 31, the Dune actress posted a charming picture of herself alongside Finn Cole at the Bulgari Eclettica High-End Collection launch held in Milan, Italy. The snap shows the couple enjoying the elegant occasion, with Florence beaming and Finn standing close by. Alongside the photo, she included another image featuring her manager George Freeman, captioning the post with a heart eyes emoji and the words, "Bvlgari with my boys," highlighting the significance of both personal and professional support in her life.
At the event on March 24, the 30-year-old actress dazzled in a striking green Eli Saab gown. The dress featured a bold slit that ran along her leg and a flowing skirt that added a touch of drama to her look. Complementing her attire, Florence wore a statement Bulgari sapphire necklace, which boasted three teardrop-shaped diamonds suspended beneath a large cushion-cut sapphire. The exquisite jewelry perfectly matched the high-profile launch she was celebrating.
Finn Cole, also 30, matched Florence’s sophistication with a classic black button-up shirt paired with a brown suit, completing the couple’s coordinated and polished appearance. Their joint presence at such a prestigious event further fueled public interest in their relationship, which has been steadily evolving since it first came to light.
The pair initially sparked romance rumors back in July 2024 when they were seen together at the Glastonbury Festival. Later that September, the Little Women star confirmed she was in a relationship during an interview with British Vogue, though she chose not to disclose her partner’s identity at the time.
“We are figuring what we actually are,” Florence Pugh shared with Vogue, adding, “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.” This statement reflected her intent to nurture a meaningful and genuine connection rather than rushing into a public label.
For Florence, who had previously been in a relationship with actor Zach Braff from 2019 to 2022, falling in love is a magical experience she cherishes deeply. “I am someone that loves falling in love,” she explained. “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. 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.”
This heartfelt perspective on love and relationships sheds light on why she has been cautious but hopeful about her new romance, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and emotional depth.
