Pugh and Braff are thought to have met around a year ago when he directed this year's Oscar nominee in his short film In The Time It Takes To Get There.

Following this, they were photographed on various occasions holding hands while out in public, rarely referring to their relationship personally.

However, 24-year-old Pugh did acknowledge her relationship with Braff publicly in December when she defended their 21 year age gap on Instagram.

After Braff commented on a picture of her outside Greenblatt's Deli in Los Angeles, a follower wrote: 'You're 44 years old', to which Pugh hit back with: 'and yet he got it'.

While spending time together indoors, abiding by social distancing regulations, Pugh has been cooking up a storm on Instagram sharing recipes such as butternut squash soup and vegetable crunch.

A couple of weeks ago on Instagram Stories, the star spoke about how she had been struggling with being separated from her family and feeling anxious like many of us have so finds cooking therapeutic.

Braff has also kept his followers updated with activities, mainly revolving around the puppy he has fostered, like several A-Listers have chosen to do at this time.
