Watch: Cara Delevingne Shares Advice for Anyone Single Navigating “Tricky” Holiday Season
Cara Delevingne is strutting into the holiday season with a game plan.
As Thanksgiving and Christmas fast approach, the British supermodel admitted this time of year “can be tricky,” especially for those who might be entering the holiday season single.
“It can bring around a lot of like, ‘Oh, my gosh, am I in a relationship? Is that lonely? Presents are expensive,’” Delevingne told E! News’ Will Marfuggi in an exclusive interview at GQ’s Men of the Year event Nov. 12. “They can bring up a lot.”
Despite the holiday hubbub, though, the 34-year-old—who has been dating girlfriend Minke since 2022—emphasized ‘tis the season for rest and relaxation since we all “work too hard.” And that goes for everyone—despite relationship status.
“It’s a time to have off, even if you’re single, even if you’re alone on the holiday,” she continued. “Find friends. Have Friendsgiving. Just find people. If not, catch up on the movies, watch TV shows.”
After all, a little R&R is how Delevingne has been leaning into the holiday season as of late. When the holidays kicked off not long after she began her sobriety journey in September 2022, she and Minke (real name Leah Mason) kept it chill that Christmas and New Year’s in Utah.
“It was just the two of us,” she told Vogue in March 2023. “I was in bed by 12:15 a.m. on New Year’s Eve having the nicest time.”

And since reconnecting with Minke in 2021—the pair had lost touch after attending grade school together in their teens—the Suicide Squad actress has found that she wouldn’t want anyone else by her side as she navigates her sobriety.
“These past two years have been A LOT of life. A lot of change, growth, pain and most importantly LOVE and I am so lucky to have found the perfect person to ride life’s ups and downs with,” Delevingne wrote on Instagram in 2022, celebrating their second anniversary. “I cannot imagine living life without you. I spent so long looking for my partner in crime, little did I know that it would be someone I went to school with (and had a baby gay crush on).”
