According to a source quoted in People's article, the couple had had their ups and downs, but ultimately, the relationship "just ran its course."
The couple first met while filming the punk-rock drama "Her Smell" in spring 2018, and kept their relationship mostly under wraps until June 2019, when Delevingne seemingly confirmed she and Benson were dating via an Instagram video.

The model later told E! News why she wanted to go public with their relationship after a year of secrecy.

"I don't know, because it's Pride, it's been 50 years since Stonewall happened and I don't know," she said. "It's been just about our one year anniversary so, why not?"
And during her speech at TrevorLIVE Gala in June 2019, Delevingne seemingly thanked Benson, who was in the audience at the event.
"I also have another very special woman in this room to thank and you know who you are," Delevingne 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."
