Florence Pugh has officially taken her relationship with actor Finn Cole public, confirming the romance with a subtle but unmistakable Instagram post that quickly caught the attention of fans.
The British actress shared a carousel of photos from a glamorous Bulgari high jewellery event in Milan, Italy. Among the glamorous red carpet images and behind the scenes moments was a photo of Pugh standing alongside Cole, widely interpreted as the first time she has publicly featured him on her social media.
In the photo, Pugh appeared in a striking green gown paired with a sapphire necklace as part of the luxury jewellery brand’s event. Cole stood beside her in a brown suit and black shirt, looking at the actress as they posed together. The post carried a playful caption referencing the night in Milan, which read, ‘Bvlgari with my boys. Milan, I like your late night pizza’.
Although Pugh did not directly label the post as a relationship announcement, fans immediately interpreted the image as a clear signal that the two actors are officially together. Cole also appeared to acknowledge the moment by sharing his own photos from the same event on Instagram, including a candid shot of Pugh relaxing on a sofa during the evening.
The reveal comes after nearly two years of speculation about the pair. Dating rumours first began circulating in July 2024 when the two were spotted together at Glastonbury Festival. At the time, neither publicly addressed the sightings.
Later that year Pugh hinted in interviews that she was seeing someone new but deliberately avoided revealing the person’s identity. In a conversation with British Vogue, she spoke about wanting a relationship built on care, safety and emotional stability, suggesting she was taking a thoughtful approach to her personal life after previous public scrutiny around her relationships.
Cole, who is best known for playing Michael Gray in the hit BBC series Peaky Blinders and starring in the drama series Animal Kingdom, has largely kept his private life out of the spotlight.
Pugh, meanwhile, has spent the last few years as one of Hollywood’s most in demand actors. She gained global recognition for roles in films such as Little Women, Midsommar and Oppenheimer, and is widely known for playing Yelena Belova in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Instagram moment marks the first time the couple have publicly acknowledged their relationship together, transforming months of quiet speculation into a confirmed romance. The post quickly circulated across social media, with fans celebrating the pair’s apparent debut as a couple.
