Zach Braff’s new young love revealed two years after split from Florence Pugh

 

 

 

Zach Braff’s new younger love has been revealed to be alt-pop singer-songwriter Frances Whitney.

 

The musician – who boasts more than 17,000 Instagram followers, including the actor, is an emerging star whose last single – You Left Me For Jesus – was released in August.

 

Whitney was previously a professional volleyball player before turning her hand to music.

 

Her record label biography reads: ‘Born and raised in San Francisco, California, Frances identifies as a songwriter before all else.

 

Braff was seen wrapping his arms around Whitney at celeb hotspot Sushi Park in West Hollywood on Tuesday night.

 

As they left, Braff wrapped his arms around his new love interest and planted a sweet kiss on her neck.

 

The PDA made his date smile as she walked a few steps ahead of him after dining at the popular sushi spot, tucked away on the second floor of a nondescript strip mall.

 

For their night out, she rocked a chic, black long sleeve and a pair of ripped light-wash jeans.

 

Since his breakup with Pugh after three years of dating, the performer has kept his love life out of the spotlight.

 

In December 2023, he spoke highly about his ex while appearing on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show.

 

During the interview, he said he and Pugh still ‘love each other’ despite now only being ‘friends.’

 

He also confessed that they are still is in regular contact, and she had even chatted with him earlier that morning.

 

Before their relationship had run its course, Florence had signed on to play the lead in A Good Person, which Zach directed but did not star in.

 

During their relationship, the couple — and particularly Florence — experienced a torrent of abuse on social media due to their 21-year age gap, though the Little Drummer Girl actress defended her right to choose to be with Zach.

 

‘I have the right to hang out and be with and go out with anyone I want to,’ she asserted during a 2020 interview with Elle UK. ‘I’ve always found this part of what people do really bizarre.

 

‘Mine and Zach’s relationship was actually quite private until it was nasty, and I could see the toll that it was taking on him and us and our families. And that’s when I spoke out,’
