This pride month marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots and, apparently, the anniversary of Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson’s relationship. And Delevingne is shouting it from the rooftops—in a chill, modest way, of course.

It all started when, for the first time ever, the model acknowledged her relationship with Benson on Instagram a few days ago, after months of public deliberation about the pair.

She posted a video of her kissing the Pretty Little Liars actress, and the caption was full of hearts and rainbows. Benson responded with a few hearts, too. And everyone died. Pretty much.

But people were also wondering, why now? When asked that question on the red carpet for the Trevor Project’s TrevorLIVE event Monday, she answered with pride, literally. “I don’t know, because it is Pride, it’s been 50 years since Stonewall happened and I don’t know,” she told E! News when asked why she decided to open up about her relationship with Benson now. But Pride isn’t the only thing she was celebrating with that post. “It’s been just about our one year anniversary so, why not?” she added.

What an inventive take the “paper” first anniversary gift!

Rumors about their romance started swirling last year, and the make-out video Delevingne shared gave everyone what they wanted: they are Instagram official. But to Delevingne it was just “a little something” because she doesn’t like the “official thing.”

But that didn’t stop her from gushing about Benson when she was honored at the event, which raises money for at-risk LGBTQ youth.

“I also have another very special woman in this room to thank and you know who you are,” she said in her speech. “She’s one of the people who help 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.”
