Last yr , Florence opened up about her fertility and said she ’s “ been want kids since [ she ] was a kid . ”
In November last year,Florence Pughpublicly revealed that she’d beendiagnosedwith endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Speaking on theSHE MDpodcast, Florence said she decided to see a doctor because of a “sudden feeling” brought on by some “weird dreams.” “I think my body was telling me,” she explained at the time. The checkup led her to be diagnosed withendometriosisandPCOS, both of which are conditions that, for different reasons, can make it difficult to get pregnant as you get older.
“It was just so bizarre because my family are baby-making machines. My mum had babies into her 40s. My gran had babies throughout… So, I guess I was never worried,” Florence said. “And then, of course, I learned completely different information, aged 27, that I need to get my eggs out and do it quickly, which was just a bit of a mind-boggling realization, and one that I’m really lucky and glad that I found out when I did because I’ve been wanting kids since I was a child.”
Because of this, Florence made the decision to freeze her eggs — something she didn’t expect to be doing at this stage in her life. And now, at 29, the actor has given an update on her journey.
Speaking toHarper’s Bazaar UKfor a new cover interview, Florence said she’s begun the egg-freezing process and is finding it “tiring and horrible.” The entireegg-freezing processcan take different amounts of time for different people, and while she didn’t go into specifics, it’s common to experience side effects and discomfort during the injection period (which is done to stimulate the ovaries and produce multiple eggs) as well as immediately following egg retrieval.
As you may know, Florence was previously in athree-year relationshipwithZach Braff; however, they split in 2022, which she described to Harper’s Bazaar as a “scary” transition. But now, it sounds like she’sfound love again.
She didn’t specify who she is currently dating, although she did give some insight into her new approach to love, saying: “I’m more sympathetic to the people who are in love with me, because it’s not easy! I’m tricky — I’m always busy, I can never make dates. But it’s not good enough for me to ask someone to just accept that. I’ll just end up alone. I don’t want that — I want a family.”
