Why Did Florence and Zach Break Up?

The couple frequently faced public scrutiny due to their age difference, which became a topic of online criticism. After Florence dedicated an Instagram post to Zach for his birthday, she received harsh comments about their age gap. In response, she posted a video addressing the criticism, saying, “I do not need you to tell me who I should and should not love, and I would never in my life ever, ever tell someone who they can and cannot love. It is not your place. And really it has nothing to do with you … The abuse that you throw at him is abuse that you throw at me.”

In her recent British Vogue interview, she added, “I think for anyone I’m with, I want to protect them. It’s not nice knowing that people are saying the worst things I’ve ever read about someone that I love.”

Florence has revealed that she is dating again but has chosen to keep her new partner’s identity private. She told the outlet, “So there is someone. Yes. We are figuring what we actually are. And I think for the first time, I’m not allowing myself to go on a roller-coaster. I’m allowing myself to take time to let something evolve and let it be completely real to its core, as opposed to racing into that.”
