Cara Delevingne says she’s the ‘luckiest girl in the world’
Model-turned-actor Cara Delevingne feels that sh is the “luckiest girl in the world”, thanks to her girlfriend Ashley Benson. Delevingne, who was honoured with the 2019 Girl Up #GirlHero Award in Beverly Hills on Sunday night, couldn’t help but praise her girlfriend.
“It’s so nice to have someone in my life who supports me so much and loves me,” the 27-year-old told E! News. She said, “I’m the luckiest girl in the world.”
Girl Up — an organisation that promotes leadership in women in developing countries — awarded Delevingne for her advocacy in the LGBTQ community. “It’s a really big deal to me. Especially since I think Girl Up is such an amazing organisation,” she shared.
When asked what advice she would give to those struggling with their identity, Delevingne said to stand proud. “Just know that everyone has that same trouble. Some people find it easier, but everyone’s gone through that kind of second thinking, ‘Am I really (gay)? Should I? How do I? It’s a really difficult time and place to be in,” she said and added, “But, at the end of the day, if you love yourself, you need to honour yourself in being able to speak out and be confident in who you are.” It’s words that she too has lived by. “That’s the only way you’ll ever be able to find your family,” Delevingne said.
The actor added, “We all have our family that we’re born with, but we all find our tribe, where we belong. So, the only way you’ll do that is by being honest. And even if you don’t get it right, even if you find out your identity one way but then you switch to another, it doesn’t matter. Your identity is not something that’s meant to be fixed. It’s fluid,” she said.
