THE REAL-LIFE PARTNERS OF NETFLIX’S EAST OF EDEN STARS REVEALED — FLORENCE PUGH, CHRISTOPHER ABBOTT AND HOON LEE HAVE LOVE STORIES FAR DIFFERENT FROM THEIR TROUBLED ON-SCREEN ROMANCES! Behind the seven-part drama’s tangled relationships and painful family secrets, the cast members have fascinating romantic lives of their own. Some have found love with fellow Hollywood stars, while others have built lasting marriages far from the spotlight. Florence Pugh’s closely watched dating life, Christopher Abbott’s romantic connection, and Hoon Lee’s enduring relationship each tell a different story. The identities of their real-life partners offer an intriguing glimpse into the lives behind the famous characters.

Florence Pugh and Finn Cole

Pugh made her relationship with Cole Instagram official in March. In the post, the couple posed together at the Bulgari Eclettica High-End Collection launch event, with Cole looking lovingly at Pugh.

The Don’t Worry Darling star and Peaky Blinders actor initially sparked dating rumors in July 2024 when they were spotted at Glastonbury Festival. In October 2024, the actress told British Vogue that she was dating someone new, but didn’t identify who at the time.

The two have since been spotted out several times, including a pizza date in New York City. In September, Pugh told Vanity Fair that she doesn’t want her relationship to be a “secret,” but she also doesn’t want “everything to be divulged.”

“The important thing is that we’re happy, and I feel solid and safe and sturdy,” she said. “And that’s worth its weight in gold in our lives.”

Christopher Abbott and Aubrey Plaza

Abbott welcomed his first baby with his partner, Aubrey Plaza, in August.

The actor — who earned a Tony Award nomination, was cast in X-Men, turned 40 and became a dad all in the past year — opened up about fatherhood in October, crowning it his biggest accomplishment.

“When you really reflect on it like that, I got to put Dad first,” he said during an episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

Joseph Zada

Zada has a girlfriend, but is keeping her identity private.

While the actor didn’t name his girlfriend in his Vanity Fair interview, he told the outlet that they met at a bar in Sydney earlier this year and that she’s a student.

Hoon Lee and Sekiya Billman

Hoon Lee, who plays domestic worker Lee, has been married to his wife, Sekiya Billman, since 2008.

Lee first connected with Billman, who is a stage actress, through theater production in 2001. They went on to found Mr. Miyagi’s Theatre Company with a group of friends and Asian-American actors, and ultimately wed at Bubby’s Pie Company in Brooklyn, N.Y., per The New York Times,

They share a son, whom they raised in Queens, N.Y.

Tracy Letts and Carrie Coon

Letts has been married to fellow actor Coon since 2013.

They started dating when they co-starred in a production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in Chicago. Since then, they’ve worked together numerous times, including in The Post and in season 2 of The Sinner.

“It’s not that strange for me to be working with Tracy, because we’ve collaborated many times,” Coon said in a joint January 2020 interview with Chicago Magazine. “There’s never trepidation about whether or not that process will be successful, because we always enjoy each other in that capacity.”

They share two kids: son Haskell, born in 2018, and a daughter, whose name has not yet been revealed, born in 2021.

Ciarán Hinds and Hélène Patarot

Irish actor Ciarán Hinds, who plays farmer Samuel Hamilton, has been married to French-Vietnamese actress Hélène Patarot since 1987 after meeting on the set of The Mahabharata.

“We live in Paris and London,” he told The Guardian in May 2024. “I’d be dead without the Eurostar!”

The couple shares one daughter, Aoife Hinds, who has followed in her actor parents’ footsteps, starring in Normal People (2020), Dune: Prophecy (2024) and Digger (2026).
