Hollywood star Florence Pugh has been seen out with her Peaky Blinders star boyfriend - after months of secretly dating.
We Live In Time star Florence has been secretly dating Peaky Blinders actor Finn Cole.
The talented pair were spotted Christmas shopping together for the first time during a festive trip with Pugh's dog, Billie, in London's Sloane Square.
The Oscar-nominated actress, 28, turned heads in a red leather jacket and black wide-legged jeans.
The blonde beauty accessorised with a casual brown cap, black high-heeled boots and a beige handbag.
The Fast & Furious 9 actor - whose brother is Peaky Blinders star Joe Cole - kept a low-profile in a camo jacket and orange trainers.
She told Vogue earlier this year. "I am [in a relationship]. OK, so something I resonate with is... falling in love."
Florence shared: “Falling is the most amazing feeling but unfortunately if that's the only thing you know, then that's the thing you chase. That’s not gonna last."
She continued: "We're figuring what we actually are. 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."
The star explained: "So something that I resonate with is that I believe that if magic is real, then it’s falling in love.
“And I am someone that loves falling in love. I love looking after people. I love caring for people. I love the feeling of someone being there.
"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.”
Florence Pugh secretly dating Peaky Blinders star after splitting from boyfriend
Florence was last seen with Finn, who played Michael Gray in Peaky Blinders, partying at Glastonbury in June.
Fellow revellers snapped the pair during the four-day festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset.
The following month, Florence was spotted by theatre-goers quietly supporting Finn as he made his stage debut in Red Speedo at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond, South West London.
The pair have been friends for a long time. When asked who he would like to work with in gangland drama Peaky Blinders, Finn, 29, said: “It would have to be my friend Florence Pugh.
“She is a fantastic actress and would do a great job.”
The actors became close friends while co-starring in the horror film Midsommar together in 2019 and in May 2022 they were photographed lounging on the Spanish Island of Ibiza together.
Finn, who is understood to have been single for the past couple of years, found fame playing Michael on the hit BBC series.
He was shot and killed by Cillian Murphy's lead character Tommy Shelby in the show’s final episode in April 2022, which wrapped the sixth season.
The duo were recently spotted getting close after attending the premiere of Nicole Kidman’s Netflix series The Perfect Couple.
The romance with Finn comes after Florence moved on from her three-year relationship with Scrubs actor Zach Braff - 21 years her senior.
She said previously: "I had to be public in the past because people were bullying me and bullying my partner.
"Mine and Zach's relationship was actually quite private until it was nasty, and I could see the toll that it was taking on him and us and our families. And that's when I spoke out.
"I think for anyone I'm with, I want to protect them. It's not nice knowing that people are saying the worst things I've ever read about someone that I love.
"So that was necessary. I needed to talk about it. I think any relationship in this limelight is going to be stressed."
Before they officially split Florence sparked romance rumours with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 star Will Poulter.
In 2023 she briefly dated photographer Charlie Gooch and was romantically linked to Normal People star Paul Mescal more recently.
The Oppenheimer star's next movie role is in the romantic drama We Live in Time - which is out on New Year's Day in the UK - which sees her star alongside former Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield.
