A Timeline of Selena Gomez and Cara Delevingne's Friendship

Gomez and Delevingne reportedly met in 2010 and became friends shortly after, according to The Daily Mail. The pair kept their friendship under wraps, however, and seldom appeared in photos prior to 2014. In November 2014, the pair made their red carpet debut at the Lacma Art + Film Gala, an event that brings together people in the arts, entertainment, and fashion industries.

Gomez and Delevingne’s longtime, close friendship led many to believe that something more existed between the two at one point. In an interview with Pride Source, the “Lose You to Love Me” singer explained her thoughts on the rumours with her BFF, saying, “Honestly, I loved it. I didn’t mind it. Especially because they weren’t talking about other people in my life for once, which was wonderful. Honestly, though, she’s incredible and very open and she just makes me open. She’s so fun and she’s just extremely adventurous, and sometimes I just want that in my life, so I didn’t mind it. I loved it.”

Over the years, Gomez and Delevingne have been the subject of fierce dating rumours, but the pair have always kept the status of their relationship private. At a Knicks basketball game in November 2021, the pair turned heads when they were spotted on the kiss cam together and Gomez playfully kissed Delevingne on the cheek, as reported by People. While it made headlines at the time, it appears that it was a platonic gesture.

“Only Murderers in the Building” stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Gomez as lead characters in the comedic mystery show. In December 2021, it was announced that Delevingne would star in the series as Alice, a love interest for Gomez’s character. Regarding their professional, on-screen collaboration, “Only Murderers in the Building” co-creator John Hoffman told Vanity Fair, “It was amazing to have the two of them know each other and feel comfortable. It’s a little sparky in all the right ways that makes you feel like, Oh, someone’s opening someone’s world.”
