Florence Pugh and 'Peaky Blinders' star Finn Cole stir rumor mill with engagement speculation
Though Pugh and Cole have never officially confirmed their relationship, speculation first emerged in September 2023 after the two were seen leaving the after-party for the London premiere of The Perfect Couple together. A source told The Sun, 'Finn and Florence have been in a bubble getting to know each other away from the spotlight... They've found something special between them.'
While Pugh has not named Cole directly, she acknowledged being in a relationship during an October 2023 interview with Vogue, where she described herself as 'very much in love.' She also shared that she is approaching her current romance differently than past relationships, saying she's taking things slowly and allowing the connection to develop naturally.
Cole, best known for his role as Michael Gray in Peaky Blinders, made a quiet appearance alongside Pugh at the premiere of her Marvel film Thunderbolts, where he posed solo but later appeared in a group photo with Pugh's friends and family—fueling further speculation about their closeness.
The pair have also been spotted together at events like Glastonbury Festival, and Pugh has shown public support for Cole's theatre work on Instagram.
Prior to Cole, Pugh was in a long-term relationship with actor Zach Braff, which ended in 2022. She later dated photographer Charlie Gooch and was briefly linked to Harry Styles.
Despite their efforts to remain private, Pugh's evolving relationship with Cole appears to be moving toward a more serious, long-term commitment.

Jeremy Renner discusses near-death experience as Whoopi Goldberg recalls Ghost
Jeremy Renner appeared on the May 1, 2025, episode of The View (re-aired on August 5) to discuss his memoir My Next Breath and reflect on the snow plow accident that nearly took his life on New Year's Day in 2023. The conversation took an emotional turn when co-host Whoopi Goldberg drew a connection between Renner's experience and the 1990 film Ghost, in which she starred. Renner was critically injured while trying to prevent a 14,000-pound snow plow from hitting his nephew. The incident left him with more than 30 broken bones and led to a profound reflection on life and mortality. During the conversation, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked him about what he remembered from the moments he described as dying. 'It's always kind of tough to talk about,' Renner said. 'But I realize that, in time, there are so many shared experiences that people have when they have a near-death experience… it's quite beautiful.' Renner explained that he believes love is the only thing that carries over beyond life. 'Love is the only thing that you take with you… it's the DNA of our spirit,' he shared. 'Hate can't exist [there]—it only exists on the coattails of love.' Goldberg responded by referencing Ghost, the Oscar-winning film that earned her Best Supporting Actress at the 1991 Academy Awards. She noted the film's final message—that love continues beyond death—echoes Renner's insight. 'That's the movie Ghost… you take it with you,' she told him. Renner agreed, saying, 'It's not just a movie, no.' The episode was re-aired on August 5 during The View's summer hiatus, which runs from July 28 to September 2, 2025. The show regularly airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
