Cara Delevingne and Her Girlfriend Minke Reconnected After 12 Years and Look So in Love
In case ya didn't know, Cara Delevingne is out here in an adorable relationship with Leah Mason— a musician who goes by the moniker Minke—and seems to be smitten. You might be wondering, well, how long have they been dating (~ a year and a half), how many times have they been spotted out (enough for us to put together a preeeeeetty solid timeline of their romance), and 'kay, but how good is Minke's music (it's *chef's kiss*, TBH), so buckle in and get ready because we've got all the deets for you to obsess over. But first! A little background on how these two met, because it's truly so tender.
Cara and Minke were actually first introduced to each other way back when they were students at Bedales, a prestigious liberal arts boarding school in Hampshire, England. They lost touch after graduating but reconnected 12 years later at an Alanis Morissette concert, which is basically the textbook definition of serendipity ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ. Now, let's get to what happened after these two got reacquainted ??:
June 2022
Ah, the first spotting! Per the Daily Mail, Cara and her girlfriend Minke were seen sharing a v passionate kiss while on vacation together in Portofino (for a look at all the ?? pics, head right on this way). According to the outlet, the pair was also spotted appearing to “capture another public display of affection with a selfie” the day before in Venice.
But just because this was the first time Cara and Minke were captured on camera, doesn't mean it's when they started dating! *Brushes off handy-dandy Sherlock Holmes 'fit* According to Cara's March 2023 cover story with Vogue, during the time in which the interview took place, the model and singer had been dating for a little over a year, which means that their romance likely began in the early months of 2022. The more you know!
January 2023
Per that same March 2023 Vogue interview, Cara and Minke apparently spent the model's first holiday season as a newly-sober person in Utah. “It was just the two of us,” she gushed of their time away together. “I was in bed by 12:15 a.m. on New Year’s Eve having the nicest time.”

Also during her conversation with Vogue, Cara revealed she was in the midst of navigating her first four months of sobriety following a "tumultuous year" that ultimately led to her seeking treatment and help in rehab. The star also took a moment to credit Minke for holding her accountable when she decided to make the pivot, revealing, “She’s the type of person who has boundaries, and there came a point with me when she wasn’t going to have it much longer, and it was a blessing in disguise.”
“It’s the first time I feel like I’m in a relationship not trying to rescue someone,” the model added.
These aren't the only changes Cara discussed either. She talked about taking time off to go go on a road trip with Minke and her plan to have tattoos removed. “Fresh start...New beginnings,” she quipped of the decision. Also on Cara's list? A plan to freeze her eggs in the near future: “I’ve wanted a kid since I was 16...I want babies so bad.”
July 2023
Cara and Minke were spotted on day eight of the Wimbledon tennis tournament on July 10 and showed no shortage of affection and playfulness as they laughed, kissed, and cuddled while watching the game. Cuteness overload, incoming:
The couple was joined in the pews by Cara's longtime friend and English actor Sienna Miller, who was seen taking selfies with the model:
And that's pretty much all we know for now, but rest assured we'll keep you updated on all things Cara and Minke and their love story. ????
