Florence Pugh confirms she and Zach Braff broke up earlier this year

Florence Pugh, 26, has confirmed she and Scrubs actor Zach Braff, 47, quietly broke up earlier this year after three years of dating.

Florence Pugh confirmed she and Zach Braff quietly broke up in early 2022 after nearly three years of dating.

“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 told Harper’s Bazaar in her September 2022 cover story.

“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.

“So we’ve done that. I automatically get a lumpy throat when I talk about it.”

Zach Braff and Florence Pugh have split up.

Throughout their relationship, the Don’t Worry Darling star, 26, often hit back at the critical commentary she and the Scrubs alum, 47, faced over their age gap, reports the New York Post.

Pugh reiterated to the glossy that she feels she should not be picked apart because of her career choice.

“Whenever I feel like that line has been crossed in my life, whether it’s paparazzi taking private moments, or moments that aren’t even real, or gossip channels that encourage members of the public to share private moments of famous people walking down the street, I think it’s incredibly wrong,” she said.

“I don’t think that people, just because they have this job, that every aspect of their life should be watched and written about. We haven’t signed up for a reality TV show.”

Braff has not publicly commented on their split.

Page Six broke the news in October 2019 that the Garden State star and the Little Women actress were spotted getting cosy at a Whole Foods in Hollywood.

“It was very clear to me that they’re a couple,” a source told the publication at the time.

Pugh confirmed the romance two months later when she clapped back at an internet troll for insulting the age difference in her relationship.
