Cara Delevingne has said she is “proud” of her relationship with actress Ashley Benson.
The model and Carnival Row actress, 27, opened up about her girlfriend during a new interview with Elle UK magazine.
Delevingne, who went public with her romance with the Pretty Little Liars star, 29, in June, told the magazine their relationship was “sacred”.
“It just feels incredible when you’re not alone, when you’re facing the world with someone else,” she said.
“I’ve never been in a relationship where things are so public, or where I posted pictures of someone else. This seemed different.
“We had gotten to the point where we had kept it a secret, or at least not wanted attention, and now I feel like I’m not going to not be proud.”
The couple met on the set of 2018 film Her Smell, directed by Alex Ross Perry.
During the Trevor Project’s fundraising gala in June, Delevingne, who was handed the Hero Award, used her speech to pay tribute to another “special woman”, believed to be Benson.
“I also have another special woman in this room to thank, you know who you are," she said.
"She is one of the people who helped me love myself when I needed it most and I really needed it. She’s shown me what real love is and shown me how to accept it, which is a lot harder than I thought.”
