Cara Delevingne on why she hates labelling her sexuality after rumoured wedding

Cara Delevingne says she hates labelling her sexuality.

The model and actress, 27, has been dating fellow actress Ashley Benson, 29, for over a year after they met on the set of Her Smell.

It was even rumoured last month that they'd tied the knot in Las Vegas.

And Cara has explained why she feels no need to put a label on herself.

She told Porter magazine: "The labels for everything bum me out. I hate to label myself.

"I’ve been to so many dinners where people are like, 'So, what are you? L, G, B, T, Q?' I’m like, 'Guys, really? This is what we’re talking about?' I change every day."

Cara has also had relationships with men, and developed crushes from an early age.

She confessed: "I loved men from when I was very young. I fell in love with my sports teacher at five. He married my other sports teacher, and I cried for weeks. I had a boyfriend for four years and then he left, and I got with his best friend. But continuously, over and over again, I was hurt by men.

"Not that that’s why I became gay."

Cara has remained true to herself, despite saying she was told she'd "never make it in this industry as a gay woman".

The star looked stunning as she posed up for the magazine's cover.

Wearing a black bra and floor-length black tutu-style skirt, Cara walked through the woods for a gorgeous photoshoot.

In another snap, she stands amongst the trees in a gothic-looking leather dress with cut out detailing on the bodice, and some chunky black boots.

Her shoulder-length blonde-tipped hair is wet and tucked behind her ears.

In another image, in a lace black dress, she stares directly into the lens, clutching a flower in her hand and resting her chin on her clenched fist.

Cara is currently starring in Amazon Original Carnival Row, alongside Orlando Bloom.
