Cara Delevingne has defended former girlfriend Ashley Benson following reports she was spotting kissing rapper G-Eazy.

British model Delevingne, 27, and Pretty Little Liars star Benson, 30, are said to have split in April after nearly two years together.

“It’s more important now than ever to spread love, not hate,” she wrote.

“To everyone hating on @ashleybenson please stop. You don’t know the truth, only her and I do and that’s exactly how it should be.”

Benson shared the post.

The former couple are said to have started dating about two years ago, with Delevingne praising Benson while accepting a Trevor Project award last year for her contribution to the LGBTQ community.

She said: “I also have another very special woman in this room to thank and you know who you are.

“She’s one of the people who helped me love myself when I needed it most and I really needed it.

“She showed me what real love is and how to accept it, which is a lot harder than I thought.”
