Drama? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that! Zach Braff, 47, has been meeting up with the family of his ex-girlfriend Florence Pugh, 27, in New York City. Recordings available to the “Daily Mail” reveal that the actor spent last Saturday night, March 18, in Manhattan with Clinton and Deborah Pugh, as well as Florence’s grandmother Pat. While there was no trace of his ex-girlfriend, Braff apparently met her parents and grandmother for a relaxed dinner in the metropolis.
In the pictures, the actor can be seen giving Florence’s mother a familiar hug. The grandmother is also apparently happy to welcome her granddaughter’s ex. Apparently, despite the separation, there is no bad blood between the American Braff and the British Pugh family – on the contrary. They still seem to get along very well. Zach Braff and Florence Pugh dated from 2019 to 2022. Pugh is now said to be dating her former schoolmate Charlie Gooch.

The journalist bluntly congratulated the Swedish actor on his father’s luck, whereupon he replied with the words “Thank you very much!” thanked.
In November 2022, paparazzi pictures from New York appeared for the first time, showing Alexander with a baby in his arms. Who is the child’s mother? Actress Tuva Novotny, 43. Whether she gave birth to a girl or a boy remains a secret, unless Alexander Skarsgård is in a chatty mood again. However, this cannot be assumed, after all, the “Tarzan” star keeps his private life strictly out of the public eye, and his child’s privacy will certainly be sacred to him and Tuva Novotny.
