Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson Had a Friendship Ceremony in Vegas
Did Cara Delevigne and Ashley Benson pull a Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner? Not quite. The Sun reported that the couple got hitched in Las Vegas at an Elvis-themed chapel earlier this year, but turns out it was actually a friendship ceremony. After being “officiated” by an Elvis impersonator the couple took pictures inside of a pink Cadillac.
Benson’s mom wrote on Instagram: “How easy it is for so many of us today to be undoubtedly full of information yet fully deprived of accurate information.”
“They were sure about what they are doing and they were sure about what they mean to each other,” the chapel’s owner, Michael Kelly, told the paper. “They were clearly devoted to each other and they had the biggest smiles on their faces. You could see that they were serious about what they were doing but having the most fun. They wanted it simple, quiet and easy.”
Guests reportedly included Charlize Theron, Joe Jonas, and Sophie Turner.
The couple have been dating for over a year at this point, but kept the relationship relatively hidden from the public. They officially showed off their romance in June in a video on Instagram in honor of Pride Month.
“I don’t know [why now],” Delevingne told E! News about making their relationship public. “Because it is Pride, it’s been 50 years since Stonewall happened. I don’t know...it’s been just about our one-year anniversary so, why not?”
While Delevingne has made an effort to keep her relationship more private, she’s been open about her sexuality in the past, proudly describing herself as fluid.
“Once I spoke about my sexual fluidity, people were like, “So you’re gay.” And I’m like, “No, I’m not gay,’” she told Glamour in 2017. “A lot of the friends I have who are straight have such an old way of thinking. It’s “So you’re just gay, right?” [They] don’t understand it. [If] I’m like, “Oh, I really like this guy,” [they’re like], “But you’re gay.” I’m like, “No, you’re so annoying!”…. Someone is in a relationship with a girl one minute, or a boy is in a relationship with a boy, I don’t want them to be pigeonholed.”
