Cara Delevingne and her girlfriend Minke made a rare public appearance as an item at the 2026 GLAAD Media Awards.
The 37th annual GLAAD Media Awards – which celebrates the best in LGBTQ+ arts and entertainment – took place in Los Angeles on Thursday (5 March), with queer icons from the worlds of TV, film and music in attendance.
At the awards, model and actor Delevingne – who is pansexual – was joined by her partner of several years, indie singer Minke, real name Leah Mason.
The pair originally met 20 years ago at boarding school, but only reconnected in 2022 at an Alanis Morissette concert before they eventually started dating.
Delevingne has credited the singer with helping her feel “happy and comfortable” and supporting her with her sobriety.
The pair posed for some adorable shots in the portrait studio at the event, which was hosted at the luxurious Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
One image shows the couple both dressed in black and holding each other close, Delevingne’s face looking at the camera whilst Minke’s eyes are closed, her head resting against Delevingne’s.
Others see them looking at each other lovingly and laughing.
“My girlfriend has been really wonderful in introducing me to a lot of things and people,” Delevingne said of Minke to Elle in 2024.
“Being with my girlfriend, in this relationship, there are just so many things that came at once that have made me so happy and comfortable with who I am,” she added.
At the actual award ceremony, smash hit gay hockey romance Heated Rivalry was the big winner of the night when it was crowned Outstanding New TV Series.
The final season of Netflix’s Stranger Things won Outstanding Drama Series while Apple TV’s Palm Royale took home Outstanding Comedy Series.
In terms of films, A Nice Indian Boy and Queen of Coal both picked up awards.
