A Timeline of Selena Gomez and Cara Delevingne’s Friendship

Over the years, Gomez and Delevingne have been the subject of fierce dating rumors, 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.

December 2021 was a big month for the friends, as not only did their work on “Only Murders in the Building” start, but they also got matching tattoos to symbolize their friendship. The pair both got watercolor-style flower designs, with Gomez getting it on her upper back and Delevingne placing it on her rib cage. The work was done by Bang Bang Tattoo, a tattoo artist in New York City. Touching on the tattoo, the singer explained on “Live With Kelly and Ryan” the special meaning behind it, saying, “It means a couple of different things. [Delevingne] calls me Rosebud so it’s a nickname. And I’ve always wanted a rose and now I got one, and I love it.”

Delevingne briefly touched on working with Gomez on “Only Murders in the Building” on E!’s web series “While You Were Streaming,” telling the outlet, “We never get to see each other as much because we’re so busy. So to be able to spend that much time with her, and also to be able to work with her, she’s just such an incredible person to work with whether I know her or not. She is brilliant, like one of my favorite actors I’ve ever worked with.”

In a similar fashion, Gomez told ET that working with Delevingne didn’t feel like work. “It was so much fun. I mean, we’ve known each other since we were about 15, so it was just a blast. We had a great time and I felt like it was super organic and she did a fantastic job,” she said.
