Florence Pugh has made a sad admission about her romantic life after taking a lengthy break from acting.
Since her role in 2014’s The Falling, Pugh has enjoyed a particularly busy decade in Hollywood with credits in films such as Midsommar, Little Women, Black Widow and Oppenheimer.
Given how booked and busy the 28-year-old actress has been over the past decade, you’d imagine that Pugh feeling pretty content with life.
However, that’s not completely the case.

During a new interview with The Times to promote her upcoming film We Live in Time, the actress explained how making the comedy-drama alongside Andrew Garfield had left her forced to re-evaluate her personal life.
Currently scheduled to premiere on New Year’s Day, We Live in Time follows the story of Tobias and Almut (Garfield and Pugh) as they build a relationship and start a family before learning that Almut has ovarian cancer.

Given the themes explored in the film, it’s understandable why Pugh may have wrapped filming with a new perspective on things.
“Relationships came and went, and I had this opportunity to look at my life away from my work. And I realised, okay, I need to wake the f*** up,” she explained.
Pugh continued: “I had to look away from my career, from movies, from wanting to be this kind of actor, that kind of actor. Or how many awards I would love to get before I pass away.
“That’s been my focus for ten years, but I want to make sure that the things I need to do, whether children, family, change, change in relationships … well, I realised I need to make changes now.
“Because I’m a worker bee and that is why I’ve never wanted a break. Everything was just, wow! What’s next? And it is only ten years in that I can now go, oh, I need to do a bit of my life.”

Pugh has been notably private when it comes to her private life and romantic relationships, with the actress previously being in a relationship with Scrubs star Zach Braff from 2019 until 2022.
Pugh shared a glimpse into her romantic life during an cover interview in Vogue back in September, confirming that she was currently in a relationship.
“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,” she said.
“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 is rumoured to be dating Peaky Blinders star Finn Cole, however, neither actor has publicly confirmed or denied the reports.
