Zach Braff praises ‘beautiful human’ Florence Pugh on her birthday

Zach Braff used his girlfriend Florence Pugh’s 26th birthday as an excuse to share how much he loves her.

“Happy Birthday to this beautiful human being,” Braff, 46, captioned a photo of the actress on his Instagram Story on Monday. “I am so lucky to know you.”

He also gushed over her acting career success, writing, “And the world is so lucky they get to witness your incredible talent.”

Braff then shared a second photo of Pugh sans any makeup sitting with their dog Billie by a window as she stared into the camera as if deep in thought.

The “Little Women” actress shared her appreciation for Braff’s kind words by reposting his IG Story to her own, adding a simple red heart emoji to share her own strong feelings towards her boyfriend.

Despite their 20-year age gap, the couple clearly like getting into the birthday spirit, celebrating Braff’s 46th birthday together with a beach day in April last year.

She also gushed over the “Scrubs” alum on social media at the time, calling him a “magical person” and a “special fella.”

“His need to make people laugh and smile is never ending, his constant generosity and love for others is infectious, his creativity and ability to put real and honest words onto the page inspires many and all who’s around him, but above all.. his appreciation for life and excitement for LIVING is something I always take note of,” she wrote in her post.

Pugh, who has been dating Braff since 2019, has defended their two-decade age difference, telling Elle UK in 2020, “I’m an actor because I like acting and I don’t mind people watching my stuff, but people have no right to educate me on my private life.”
