Cara Delevingne was secretly engaged - even though she doesn't believe in marriage

Cara Delevingne was secretly engaged - even though she doesn't believe in marriage.

The 33-year-old star - who is in a relationship with musician Minke and previously dated the likes of St. Vincent, Amber Heard, and Ashley Benson - revealed she has "been proposed to" and also popped the question to someone because she liked the security it brought, but she's never been interested in the idea of a formal exchange of vows because she's worried about losing her "freedom".

Speaking on the Louis Theroux Podcast, she said when asked if she was engaged: "No. I have been engaged. Doesn't matter [who to] now. They're long gone. Sucks for them. Yeah ... I've been proposed to. I've also proposed to someone.

"I'm not telling you [who I proposed to]. Have to have some mysteries here.

"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.

"So it was like, 'Oh, if we're engaged, that means there's an extra line they have to go to leave.'

"But I actually never wanted to get married. Like, that really scared me because I really believe in freedom and not in the sense of doing whatever I want, but I think whenever I feel tied down to something, it makes me go, 'Wait a minute. Wait a minute, that feels funny.'

"And also, in the sense that marriage in terms of patriarchal society and the heteronormative version of that and for land and for religion and all of that is not something I'm down with.

"But I do believe in a spiritual union and a commitment, and I think there is a beauty in that. But it's taken me a minute to really understand that and also to have the same rights in terms of being in hospital and kids and adoption and all of it."
