Inside Florence Pugh And Zach Braff's Relationship

It's not quite clear when or how Florence Pugh and Zach Braff first met, but the two did work together on Braff's short film It Takes Time To Get There in April 2019 and some speculate that was the launching pad for their romance (via PopSugar). They were then spotted together later that month, holding hands. While Pugh and Braff have mostly kept their relationship out of the spotlight, when they have embraced each other on social media, their 21-year age gap has drawn ire from Pugh's fans.

However, Pugh is also not afraid to address critics head-on. When Pugh posted a picture of herself in front of Greenblatt's Deli in December 2019, Braff commented on her post with a princess emoji. This prompted a number of Pugh's followers to share their dismay with Pugh and Braff's age gap. In fact, when one Instagram user replied to Braff saying, "You're 44 years old," Pugh countered with a simple, "And yet he got it" (via Harper's Bazaar).

Pugh's frustration with naysayers reached a fever pitch when she posted a picture of Braff in honor of the actor's 45th birthday. Instead of wishing Braff a happy birthday as Pugh requested, many of her followers used it as another opportunity to contrast the couples' ages. Following this, Pugh took to Instagram live and said, in part, "I do not need you to tell me who I should and should not love" (via Today).
