From stepping into the haunting intensity of Jean Tatlock in Oppenheimer to quietly commanding the political edges of Arrakis as Princess Irulan in Dune: Part Two, Florence Pugh has a way of holding attention that lingers long after the scene fades. And just when her on-screen world keeps widening with every role, the actress has now sparked an entirely different kind of curiosity off-screen, as a recent Instagram post has sent fans into a quiet riddle, piecing together the possibility of a romance unfolding behind the frames.

So, is Florence Pugh actually dating someone, and who might be at the centre of this subtle reveal?

On Tuesday, March 31, Florence Pugh was spotted at the Bulgari Eclettica High-End Collection launch event in Milan, Italy, where the Dune actress turned heads in a striking green dress with a slit, paired with a sapphire necklace from the collection. But while her look held its own spotlight, the attention soon shifted to Finn Cole, the Peaky Blinders actor standing beside her in a brown suit. The two, standing close, carried a quiet warmth that did not go unnoticed, and Pugh’s caption soon made it clear that what fans had been sensing was real; she and Cole have now taken their relationship public. 

"Bvlgari with my boys. Milan, I like your late night pizza 😍" Pugh posted on her Instagram.

Cole did not hold back either, offering his own glimpse into the moment as he shared a behind-the-scenes shot of Pugh resting on a couch at the event, followed by a frame of the two alongside Bulgari CEO Laura Burdese. However, speculation around their relationship traces back to July 2024 at Glastonbury, where the two were quietly spotted together, setting early whispers in motion. Months later, Pugh added to the intrigue in an interview with British Vogue, hinting at a relationship without naming it, sharing that they were still figuring out what they truly were.

"We are figuring what we actually are. And I think for the first time, I’m not allowing myself to go on a roller-coaster," Pugh told British Vogue.

Amid the buzz around her recent reveal with Cole, Pugh does not seem to let the spotlight shift even for a second, with a packed 2026 lineup keeping her firmly in the headlines.

Returning once again as Princess Irulan, Paul Atreides’ Imperial Consort, Florence Pugh steps back into her Dune home with Dune: Part Three (also known as Dune: Messiah), set to release on December 18, 2026. While she was largely a quiet observer of her father’s falling empire in Dune: Part Two, director Denis Villeneuve has confirmed that Irulan will take centre stage this time, stepping into a far more pivotal role. Now bound in a political marriage to Paul Atreides, she lives as his wife and Imperial Consort, with the story expected to unfold nearly 12 years after the events of the previous film.

Also returning to her Marvel world after Thunderbolts, Florence Pugh will be seen reprising her role as Yelena Belova in Avengers: Doomsday, where she steps up as a central force leading the new Avengers. Following the events of Thunderbolts, her character emerges as the de facto leader of a government-backed team that includes Red Guardian, Bucky Barnes, and U.S. Agent, placing her right at the heart of Marvel’s shifting power dynamic. While the film was initially set for a rare same-day release clash on December 18, reports now suggest Marvel Studios may shift it to an earlier December slot, potentially December 11.

And as Pugh steps into the high-stakes worlds of Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three in 2026, her recent Instagram post has quietly stirred just as much excitement, giving fans a glimpse into a personal chapter unfolding alongside her on-screen rise.
