Florence Pugh and Zach Braff have called it quits after three years together.
The Black Widow actress, 26, confirmed in an interview with Harper's Bazaar that she and the Scrubs star, 47, went their separate ways 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,” Florence said.
She 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.”
Next month, the Marvel and Midsommar star will be seen alongside singer Harry Styles in Don’t Worry Darling.
Directed by Olivia Wilde, the film is set in the 1950s in an isolated, utopian community in the California desert, and features an unhappy housewife and her husband who harbours a dark secret.
Florence plays housewife Alice while former One Direction singer Harry, 28, stars as husband Jack in the psychological thriller.
A first look trailer released in May drew a reaction following a glimpse of the passionate on-screen relationship of Florence and Harry's characters.
She told Harper’s Bazaar: “When it’s reduced to your sex scenes… It’s not why we do it. It’s not why I’m in this industry.”
She acknowledged that Harry's level of fame is likely to play a part in discussions surrounding the film, but she was clear that it would not be her focus.
“Obviously, the nature of hiring the most famous pop star in the world, you’re going to have conversations like that.
“That’s just not what I’m going to be discussing because (this movie is) bigger and better than that. And the people who made it are bigger and better than that, " she added.
The star also told how desperate she was to get back to acting after the Covid-19 pandemic, likening it to being able to “run away with the circus”.
She previously revealed she suffers from a health condition called tracheomalacia, which can cause respiratory infections and meant she had to be particularly careful during the height of the pandemic.
Speaking about returning to work, she said: “I think that one of the pulls for me is that I get to see places, see people, befriend people, fall in love with people, and then move on and do it again.”
