Pugh previously datedZach Braff, who directed her in their new filmA Good Person. The couple dated from 2019 until 2022, when the actress revealed thatshe and Braff, 47, quietly broke upin an interview withHarper’s BAZAAR.
“We’ve been trying to do this separation without the world knowing, because it’s been a relationship that everybody has an opinion on,” Pugh said in August.
“We just felt something like this would really do us the benefit of not having millions of people telling us how happy they are that we’re not together,” she added. “So we’ve done that. … I automatically get a lumpy throat when I talk about it.”

Despite the breakup, Braff has only offered kind words about Pugh’s performance in their new film. He recently toldEntertainment Tonightthat he wasin part inspired to writeA Good Persondue to his “awe of her talent.”
“I’m just in awe of her talent and I said, ‘I wanna write this for Florence. What I’m writing is really gonna be challenging, and she’s incredible,’ " he said, adding that Pugh is “a next-level actress” and “just unbelievable.”
Braff told the outlet that he “couldn’t have written the part for myself,” and explained that “it wasn’t for your average actors.”
“I wanted to write something for her and I had this image in my mind of that diner-booth scene and I thought of Florence Pugh opposite some legend that everyone’s talking about,” he added.
A Good Personis playing in select theaters now and releases everywhere March 31.
