Delevingne’s declaration did not stay confined to a print interview. According to the Variety report,she recently appeared in a confessional booth at Rosalía’s London O2 concert, part of the Spanish pop star’s Lux tour. In front of a crowd of 20 ,000, Delevingne joked that her weakness used to be straight women but added that “no one is ever fully straight.” She also teased that men do not pleasure their girlfriends well enough, so she steps in. the segment generated social media buzz and underscored Delevingne’s willingness to blend humor with her sexual identity.

From Bedales to Alanis Morissette: The Minke Story

The couple first met as students at the prestigious Bedales boarding scchool in Hampshire, which costs £52,000 per year, according to the Variety interview. They did not start dating until 2022, after being reunited at an Alanis Morissette concert..

During the confessional, Delevingne revealed that she used to enjoy being the dominant partner, possibly out of fear of vulnerability,but now feels ready to embrace submission without losing her “fiery,dominant Leo nature.” Rosalía reassured her that one does not have to be exclusively one or the other. The exchange highlights Delevingne’s ongoing self-discovery, which she has linked to therapy and sobriety. As the source reports, she has often spoken about the importance of balance in relationships, and her openness about these intimate dynamics resonates with fans who admire her authenticity.

What’s Next: Family Planning at 33?

Delevingne’s desire to start a family with Minke is the most concrete future plan she has ever shared. Yet the Variety interview leaves several questions unanswered. Who is Minke professionally? (The report identifies her only by first name and age.) How does Delevingne navigate the line between public advocacy and private life? And while she is proud to be a lesbian, does she plan to engage in broader LGBTQ+ activism beyond personal disclosure? The report focuses exclusively on Delevingne’s perspective, with no independent comment from Minke or family members.
