Zach Braff, 49, debuts new romance with mystery young woman - 2 years after split from Florence Pugh, 28

As I delve into the captivating tale of Florence Pugh and Zach Braff, I find myself intrigued by the ebb and flow of their relationship. From the quiet whispers on the set of a short film to the loud murmurs of social media, this pair navigated love amidst an age gap that was as wide as the Grand Canyon.


It was noticed that Zach Braff was spending a close and comfortable time with an unidentified lady, following their dinner outing at Sushi Park in West Hollywood, which comes about two years after his separation from actress Florence Pugh.

On a Tuesday evening, I found myself beaming with joy, embracing a radiant brunette companion, who seemed to carry an effervescent youthful charm that appeared to outshine my own years.

Leaving the popular celebrity hangout, Braff affectionately embraced his latest companion, then gently kissed her neck.

On their date, he dined at a well-known sushi restaurant hidden in a common shopping center’s upper level. As she strolled slightly ahead, the Personal Digital Assistant caused her to smile.

For their night out, she rocked a chic, black long sleeve and a pair of ripped light-wash jeans.

In a stylish fashion, the latest lady accompanying Braff showcased a chic, shoulder-length brown bob hairstyle, complemented by subtle makeup application.

Meanwhile, Braff cut a casual figure in a light grey jacket, a plain t-shirt and striped trousers. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to Braff’s reps for a comment on his current relationship status. 

Ever since my beloved partner, Pugh, and I parted ways following our three-year romance, I’ve been rather secretive about my personal affairs, preferring to let my performances speak for themselves in the public eye.

In December 2023, he spoke highly about his ex while appearing on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show. 

In the interview, he shared that although they are just friends at this point, their feelings for each other remain strong.

Apart from his admission, it’s clear they maintain a regular connection, as she’d conversed with him just this morning.

This morning, I appeared on The Today Show, and she expressed interest in viewing photos of my outfit for her approval. It seems we have a strong bond.

Additionally, he expressed openly that there were no lingering resentments between them, as he enthusiastically praised the Oscar nominee’s remarkable abilities.

He excitedly remarked, “It’s quite evident globally that I have no bias in stating she is among the most exceptional actresses currently active.

I believe that if someone takes the opportunity to watch A Good Person, they’ll realize she’s exceptionally remarkable. frankly, I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had her as my main actress.

Prior to their relationship ending, Florence had already agreed to portray the main character in ‘A Good Person’, a production that Zach was directing, but not acting in himself.

The drama stars Pugh as Allison, an aspiring musician who is recently engaged. 

However, the course of their lives changes drastically as she is involved in a fatal car accident following a party, claiming the lives of her future brothers and sisters-in-law.

About a year down the line, when Allison is grappling with an addiction to painkillers and battling severe depression, she finds herself at an AA gathering. There, in an unforeseen turn of events, she encounters Daniel – her former fiancé’s father, played by none other than Morgan Freeman.

Through him, she meets the orphaned daughter of the couple she killed, but her attempts to make amends are threatened by the girl’s fury at her and Daniel’s own struggles with addiction.

Zach and Florence initially met on the movie set where he was working, however, it wasn’t until April 2019 that they were publicly recognized as a couple, having been seen together holding hands.

However, the couple stayed silent and didn’t confirm the relationship until December of that year.

In 2021, a film captures a compassionate individual, who was then in a relationship. They seemed to be together up until around April 2022, as indicated by her wishing him a happy 47th birthday.

In the course of their romantic involvement, the duo, notably Florence, endured a heavy deluge of harsh comments on social platforms, largely because of their significant age difference. However, Florence, who is known for her role in The Little Drummer Girl, upheld her freedom to decide whom she wanted to be with, by standing up for her choice with Zach.

In a 2020 interview with Elle UK, she stated her freedom to socialize with whoever she chooses: “I can choose who I spend my time with and go out with.” She finds it strange when others make a big deal about this aspect of their lives.

Pugh further stated: ‘I understand that coming under public scrutiny means people might intrude on my privacy and pass judgments, but it’s strange that ordinary individuals feel entitled to express such hostility towards aspects of my life that I haven’t disclosed publicly.’

In September, as Pugh, currently in a relationship with Finn Cole from Peaky Blinders, shared, they had been compelled to make their relationship open due to persistent harassment regarding their age gap in the past.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’ve always valued maintaining a certain level of privacy in my personal life. However, there came a time when the strain on Zach and me, as well as our respective families, became unbearable. Recognizing the impact it was having, I decided it was necessary to address the situation openly. This is what I shared with Vogue.

I feel a strong desire to safeguard anyone I am close to. Reading cruel remarks about someone dear to me is an unpleasant experience I wish didn’t exist.

It turned out to be essential. I felt compelled to discuss the matter at hand. I believe any relationship under the spotlight will inevitably face stress.

In a chat with Harper’s Bazaar back in August 2022, Florence made it clear that she and her partner had decided to go their different paths.

In my fervent enthusiasm, I confided to the publication back then: “We’ve been endeavoring to navigate our parting discreetly, as it’s been a bond that’s stirred countless opinions among the public.

We figured it would be beneficial for us not to have many people expressing their joy that we’re apart, so we’ve chosen to separate instead.
