Florence Pugh enjoyed some Christmas shopping with her new boyfriend Finn Cole in London on Wednesday, as the pair were spotted together for the first time since sparking romance rumours.
The Oscar-nominated actress, 28, and the Peaky Blinders star, 29, were first romantically linked in September, but have not publicly confirmed their relationship.
But they looked happy and relaxed as they walked Florence’s dog Billie through Sloane Square, checking out a few shops along the way.
The We Live In Time star put on a typically stylish look by donning a red leather coat and black wide leg jeans.
She added black heeled boots and a beige handbag, while hiding her famous face under a brown baseball cap.
While Finn cut an understated figure in an oversized camouflage jacket, black trousers and striking yellow trainers.

The pair – who have been friends for several years – were first reported to be secretly dating after they were seen leaving the Perfect Couple premiere after party together in September.
They were previously seen partying together at Glastonbury Festival, while Florence has ‘liked’ every one of Finn’s Instagram posts this year and shared her delight when it was revealed he had been cast in the theater production of Red Speedo.
She commented on the post: ‘Oh my God, this is incredibly exciting!’ and added that she would be bringing her beloved grandma, sharing: ‘Grandma Pat wants to come.. #obvi’.
Finn is best known for his role as Michael Gray in the BBC series Peaky Blinders, where he starred alongside his brother Joe.
While Florence hasn’t named Finn as her boyfriend, she did confirm that she’s in a relationship in October, revealing her love status during a Vogue cover shoot.
She confirmed: ‘I’m (in a relationship). Well, something I resonate with is that I believe that if magic is real, then falling in love is.’
Florence candidly revealed that she and her partner were ‘making things up’ and said she was ready to start a family.
She added: ‘We think about what we really are. And I think for the first time I don’t allow myself to go on a slide.
‘I allow myself to take the time to let something develop and let it be completely real to its core, as opposed to racing into it.

‘Falling is the most amazing feeling, but unfortunately if it’s the only thing you know in a relationship, then it’s the thing you chase. That won’t last.’
Last week, she admitted that focusing on her Hollywood career above all else made her feel like her life was ‘spinning’ out of control.
Florence revealed after finishing her latest film We Live In Time that she was forced to reassess her work-life balance and how much she sacrificed by putting her personal life on the back burner.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, she revealed how ‘relationships came and went’ after splitting from long-term boyfriend Zach Braff in 2022.
The Little Women star decided to take a break from her career this year – her first since her debut film The Falling in 2014 – to focus on her personal life.
She explained: ‘I had the opportunity to look at my life away from work. And I realized, OK, I have to wake up.
‘I had to look away from my career, from films, from wanting to be this kind of actor, that kind of actor. Or how many awards I would like to receive before I die.
‘That’s been my focus for ten years, but I want to make sure that the things that I need to do, whether it’s children, family, changes, changes in relationships… well, I realized that I have to make changes now.
‘Because I’m a worker bee and that’s why I never wanted a vacation. Everything was simple, wow! What’s next? And now it’s been ten years, oh, I’ve got to work on my life a bit.’

Florence is promoting the John Crowley-directed romantic drama, in which she stars as Almut opposite Andrew Garfield as Tobias, a couple brought together by a chance encounter that changes their lives forever.
Before Finn, Florence was in a relationship with former Scrubs star Zach, 49, from 2019 until they split in 2022.
Giving a rare insight into their relationship, the star explained how the trolling about the couple’s age difference took a toll on them both.
She said: ‘I’ve had to be public in the past because people bullied me and bullied my partner.
‘Me and Zach’s relationship was actually quite private until it turned nasty and I could see the toll it was taking on him, us and our families. And then I spoke.
‘I think I want to protect everyone I’m with. It’s not nice to know that people are saying the worst things I’ve ever read about someone I love.
»So that was necessary. I had to talk about it. I think any relationship in this light will be under stress.’
