Florence Pugh and Finn Cole Attend 'East Of Eden' Premiere Together

Florence Pugh appeared publicly with her boyfriend, Finn Cole, at the afterparty for the premiere of her new series, "East Of Eden," held at The Plaza Hotel in New York on Wednesday.

Pugh, 30, who serves as an executive producer for the Netflix adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel, was seen mingling with co-stars at the event. Earlier in the evening, she walked the red carpet in a lime green Vivienne Westwood gown. At the afterparty, she wore a pale pink dress and matching scarf.

Cole, known for his role in "Peaky Blinders," joined Pugh at the bash, and the pair posed for photos together. He wore a black pinstripe suit with a blue shirt and burgundy tie.

The couple, who have been dating since 2024, were first reported to be romantically linked in September 2024 after the London premiere of "The Perfect Couple." They made their relationship Instagram official in April during a Bulgari event in Milan.

Pugh has previously spoken about her relationship, telling Vogue in October 2024 that she was "very much in love." She also reflected on a past relationship that led to a "breakdown," during which she would self-injure. She explained on the Louis Theroux podcast that she would "chop huge chunks out of my hands" as her body's way of asking for help when she was physically and emotionally exhausted.

Pugh posed with her onscreen sons, Joe Anders and Joseph Zada, at the party. The "East of Eden" series is based on Steinbeck's 1952 multigenerational novel.
