A Deep Dive on Florence Pugh and Finn Cole’s Secretive Relationship (Including Their Rumored Engagement)

Rumor has it that Florence Pugh is secretly engaged...and if you’re thinking, “I didn’t even know Miss Flo was dating anyone!” you’re not alone. The actress has been keeping her relationship with fellow actor Finn Cole on the down-low since they were first spotted together in September 2024…and according to The Sun, the pair got engaged after just about a year of dating.Of course, Flo still hasn’t publicly confirmed that she and Finn are dating (much less whether or not they’re engaged), buuuut if you’re a fan of period dramas starring attractive people with accents, then you are well aware of him. Finn is best known for playing Michael Gray in Peaky Blinders, which he stars in alongside his brother Joe. But you might have also seen him on TNT’s Animal Kingdom, a very important show that, frankly, we as a society are not talking about enough.TBD how he met Florence, but given that they (a) are the same age, (b) have the same job, and (c) are both from the UK, it seemed inevitable their paths would cross. We do know, however, that they’ve been friends since back in 2017. Which brings us to the relationship timeline portion of our journey together.Jump to:Circa 2017June 2024July 2024September 2024December 2024April 2025August 2025February 2026March 2026June 2026July 2026September 2026Circa 2017 Florence starts Liking Finn’s Instagram posts...in earnest.InstagramAnd she basically doesn’t stop over the course of the next seven years.

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. I’m allowing myself to take time to let something evolve and let it be completely real to its core, as opposed to racing into that.”Florence adds that falling in love is “the most amazing feeling” but that “unfortunately if that’s the only thing that you know in a relationship, then that’s the thing that you chase.
