Florence Pugh enjoyed some Christmas shopping with her new boyfriend Finn Cole in London on Wednesday, when the couple was seen together for the first time since sparking romance rumors.
The Oscar-nominated actress, 28, and the Peaky Blinders star, 29, were first romantically linked in September, but have not publicly confirmed their relationship.
But they looked happy and relaxed as they walked Florence’s pet dog Billie around Sloane Square, visiting several shops along the way.
The We Live In Time star put on a typically fashionable display as she wrapped up in a red leather coat and black wide-leg jeans.
She added a pair of black high-heeled boots and a beige bag, while hiding her famous face under a brown baseball cap.
While Finn cut a low-key figure in an oversized camouflage jacket, black pants and eye-catching yellow sneakers.

‘Falling is the most incredible feeling, but unfortunately if that’s the only thing you know in a relationship, then that’s what you chase. That’s not going to last.’

Florence revealed that after finishing her latest film We Live In Time, she was forced to re-evaluate her work-life balance and how many sacrifices she had made by putting her personal life on the back burner.

The Little Women star decided to take a career break this year, her first since her first film, The Falling, in 2014, to focus on her personal life.
She explained: ‘I had this opportunity to look at my life outside of my job. And I realized, okay, I need to wake up.
‘I had to look away from my career, from cinema, from wanting to be this type of actor, that type of actor. Or how many awards I would love to get before I die.
‘That’s been my focus for ten years, but I want to make sure that the things I need to do, whether it’s kids, family, changes, relationship changes… well, I realized I need to make changes now.
‘Because I’m a worker bee and that’s why I’ve never wanted a break. Everything was just, wow! What’s next? And it’s only been ten years since I can say, oh, I need to make a bit of my life.’

Before Finn, Florence was in a relationship with former Scrubs star Zach, 49, from 2019 until their split in 2022.
Offering a rare insight into their relationship, the star explained the toll trolling over the couple’s age difference had taken on them both.
She said: ‘I’ve had to be public in the past because people bullied me and my partner.
“My and Zach’s relationship was actually quite private until it became ugly, and I could see the toll it was taking on him, us, and our families. And that’s when I spoke up.
‘I think I want to protect anyone I’m with. It’s not nice to know that people are saying the worst things I’ve ever read about someone I love.
‘So that was necessary. I needed to talk about it. “I think any relationship in this spotlight is going to be stressed.”
