Florence Pugh and Finn Cole Make Rare Couple Appearance at Film Festival

Florence Pugh and her boyfriend Finn Cole, star of Peaky Blinders, presented a united front at the BFI London Film Festival on Friday evening. The actors, both 30, attended the screening for the new boxing drama "In The Shadows," in which Cole stars alongside Jasmine Jobson. Pugh wore a silver Wiederhoeft gown, while Cole complemented her in a suit and tie, with his arm around her shoulder.

The couple, who have been dating since 2024, have previously sparked engagement rumors after Pugh was seen wearing a ring on her engagement finger. They made their relationship Instagram official in April at a Bulgari event in Milan.

Pugh and Cole have been friends for years, with their romantic involvement first reported after the premiere of the Netflix series "The Perfect Couple" in September 2024. A source indicated at the time that the pair were developing their relationship away from the public eye and had intentions of marriage.

Pugh confirmed her relationship status in October 2024 during a Vogue cover shoot, stating that falling in love felt magical. She also reflected on past relationships, sharing that a previous breakup led her to self-harm. Speaking on the Louis Theroux podcast, Pugh described periods of breakdown and anxiety during that relationship, during which she would injure herself as a way of coping.

"I think for a long time I didn't expose that part of my life, to even my friends," she said. "Then of course you find yourself in a pit or in a mess. I had a breakdown and that is obvious when that happens."
