Cara Delevingne has made a surprising revelation about her romantic past, confirming that she has been engaged not once, but twice. The 33-year-old actress and model shared the details during a candid appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast, admitting that neither engagement ultimately led to marriage.
When asked by Theroux whether she is currently engaged to her girlfriend, musician Minke, Delevingne responded with a laugh, "No. I have been engaged... I've been proposed to. I've also proposed to someone." She declined to name her former fiancés, jokingly adding, "Doesn't matter now. They're long gone. Sucks for them!"
The Suicide Squad star has previously been linked to singer St. Vincent and actress Ashley Benson. Both relationships sparked engagement rumors at the time, though neither was ever confirmed. Delevingne kept the identities of her past partners private, maintaining an air of mystery about the proposals.
Despite accepting two proposals, Delevingne explained that she never truly wanted to get married. She admitted that being engaged offered a sense of security, saying, "It was something about actual marriage that I really didn't believe in, but it was engagement that made me feel like they might not leave me." She described it as an "extra line they have to go to leave," suggesting it felt like an added barrier against abandonment.
The Only Murders in the Building actress elaborated on her fears about tying the knot, citing a deep belief in personal freedom. "That really scared me because I really believe in freedom... whenever I feel tied down to something, it makes me go, 'Wait a minute. Wait a minute, that feels funny,'" she explained. She also expressed skepticism about marriage as an institution, describing it as rooted in patriarchal and heteronormative traditions that do not align with her values.
While Delevingne remains uninterested in traditional marriage, she does believe in what she calls a "spiritual union" and a deep, lifelong commitment to a partner. She also expressed a strong desire to start a family, sharing, "I want a family really badly. I would love more than anything to have kids". She views motherhood as a healing experience and has been working through her own childhood to prepare for that possibility.
Delevingne has been in a relationship with musician Minke—real name Leah Mason—since 2022. The actress confirmed during the podcast that she is still with Minke but clarified that the couple is not currently engaged. Her comments offer fans a rare glimpse into her private life and her evolving perspective on love and commitment.
The revelation comes as Delevingne continues to balance her acting career with her music ambitions. Her candid discussion on the podcast has generated significant attention, particularly her honesty about past relationships and her unconventional views on romance and marriage.
