Ashley Benson has previously dated model Cara Delevingne
Benson has previously been romantically linked to the rapper G-Eazy. She was most recently rumored to be dating photographer Sofia Malamute, though neither officially confirmed their relationship. She also dated model and actress Cara Delevingne for two years. Benson spoke candidly to Cosmopolitan UK shortly after their breakup about the attention she endured when it came to her love life and the reasons she preferred to keep her romantic life secret.
"The most annoying part is having to sit back and be quiet while everybody talks about you and you have to deal with it," she said. "People can say whatever they want about me, but unless you know me, you don't really know anything at all."
She added that dealing with "people's opinions" of her relationships is difficult. "If gossip comes out and stories are completely false, what can you do?" she said. "I'm not going to sit out there and be like, 'This isn't true, this is what's really happening. I usually keep my relationships private," she continued. "You obviously can't help if you get photographed together. [But] it's more sacred that way. Those private moments are for you and your partner, and I think it's best not to be over-exposed, and you can really protect your relationship if you're not exploiting it."
