Florence Pugh recently confirmed that her three-year relationship with Zach Braff ended earlier this year. The Don’t Worry Darling actress slammed media and criticized the cruel approach certain photographers took while documenting their romance.

"Whenever I feel like that line has been crossed in my life, whether it's paparazzi taking private moments, or moments that aren't even real, or gossip channels that encourage members of the public to share private moments of famous people walking down the street, I think it's incredibly wrong," Pugh said in an interview published Tuesday, according to Entertainment Weekly.

"I don't think that people, just because they have this job, that every aspect of their life should be watched and written about. We haven't signed up for a reality TV show." The actress further confirmed during the conversation that the former couple ended their relationship earlier this year. "We've been trying to do this separation without the world knowing, because it's been a relationship that everybody has an opinion on," Pugh continued.

"We just felt something like this would really do us the benefit of not having millions of people telling us how happy they are that we're not together. So, we've done that. I automatically get a lumpy throat when I talk about it." Pugh and Braff reportedly started dating in 2019, but were private about their relationship, and were rarely seen out in public together. The couple often faced scrutiny on social media due to the 21-year age gap between them (Pugh is 26 and Braff, 47).

Before their relationship ended, Pugh and Braff had worked together on the upcoming MGM drama A Good Person which the latter wrote, directed, and produced the film with Pugh as the lead. “The movie that we made together genuinely was probably one of my most favorite experiences,” Pugh said of the film in the interview. “It felt like a very natural and easy thing to do.”
