It looks like Zach Braff might have a new love interest!
The 49-year-old actor and director was recently spotted on a sushi date with singer Frances Whitney on Wednesday night (October 16). The pair were seen enjoying a cozy night out at Sushi Park, a popular celeb hangout. Zach was photographed walking behind Frances with his arms wrapped around her, even kissing her neck during the outing.
Frances Whitney, a rising singer, has an interesting background. According to her bio on 604 Records’ website, she was born and raised in San Francisco, California, and previously played professional volleyball overseas. After stepping away from her sports career, Frances decided to return to the U.S. and pursue her passion for music as a singer and songwriter.
Now, Frances is preparing to release her debut EP, Old Hobbies, on November 8th. The highly anticipated EP will feature eight tracks, showcasing her talent as a new artist in the music scene. To celebrate the release, Frances is also gearing up for live performances in four cities: San Francisco, Brooklyn, Toronto, and Los Angeles.
While Zach Braff and Frances Whitney haven’t officially confirmed their relationship, their public display of affection has certainly sparked dating rumors. Zach, known for his roles in Scrubs and Garden State, hasn’t been linked to anyone romantically since his previous relationship with actress Florence Pugh. The two were together for several years before their split in 2022, but they’ve remained on good terms as friends.
Zach and Florence’s relationship was often in the spotlight, largely due to their 21-year age difference, which stirred conversation among fans and media alike. Despite the public scrutiny, Florence has always defended their relationship, speaking out against the age gap criticism and emphasizing how much they cared for each other. Since their split, the two have stayed close and continue to support one another.
As for Zach’s potential new romance, fans are excited to see what comes next. Whether it’s a new relationship or just a casual date, Zach seems to be enjoying life and connecting with someone who shares his creative passion for the arts.
With Frances’ music career taking off and Zach’s continued work in directing and acting, this could be the start of an exciting new chapter for both of them—professionally and perhaps romantically too. Only time will tell!
