From what I’ve seen of the Hollywood/celebrity lesbian/bisexual community, they’re an insular, close-knit bunch. They all date each other and I’m sure there’s drama when someone moves on a bit too quickly, but they mostly manage to keep it out of the mainstream gossip. There are two women who seem to go through girlfriends like tissue paper: Kristen Stewart and Cara Delevingne. It’s actually a wonder Cara and Kristen haven’t dated, but they’re too busy dating each other’s exes. Anyway, Cara possibly has a new girlfriend, and shock of shock, this is not someone within the existing girlfriend group: Paris Jackson. Paris and Cara were seen kissing in LA outside of the steakhouse Carlito’s.
EXCLUSIVE: Sealed with a kiss! Paris Jackson and Cara Delevingne confirm romance with passionate clinch https://t.co/5PRPmfKOo5 pic.twitter.com/cphkAdbOg7

According to Page Six, Cara and Paris met last May at the MTV Movie Awards and they’ve been friendly ever since. They’ve been showing up on each other’s social media too, but the kiss is new (or new to us). After these photos came out, *someone* wanted everyone to know that Paris and Cara are not dating though.
They’ve been spending plenty of time together and were photographed sharing a smooch on Thursday, but Paris Jackson and Cara Delevingne are just friends—for now.
“They have a flirty friendship but aren’t dating or in a relationship,” a source tells PEOPLE exclusively. “Paris is 19 years old and living her life. She has no plans to settle down any time soon.”
Earlier this week, Jackson—who hasn’t publicly spoken about her sexuality—and Delevingne, 25, spurred romance rumors after sharing snaps of themselves on social media watching Carol together. The models were also photographed holding hands last month while out with friends in London.
Sure. I’m not going into conspiracy mode or anything – I think it’s more than possible that Paris and Cara are just friends and they have an affectionate, kissy relationship without it going any further. I also think it’s possible that they’re hooking up and it’s nothing serious. They’re young and rich and nepotism is in the air. Let them have fun. It’s not scandalous. My only issue with this is that I just wish Paris Jackson would stop trying to be a celebrity and just go to school. But she’s not going to do that.

On a personal level, Paris shares a birthday with my daughter. They were both born on the same day and year. Although Paris has had a lot more things on her life then my daughter. I can’t help making that connection.
I agree, I wish she would be more invested in an education then trying to be famous. as far as her dating life goes it’s really none of anyone’s business. Her life is just starting and she needs to find herself.
Does Paris have an album coming out or something? A movie or Vogue cover for Cara?
The two last lines of this say it all…
If not college at least become an entrepreneur or humanitarian. But red carpets, clubs and catwalks 24/7? Just shoot me. tie the two together. Provide seed money, training and equipment to undersourced artist, photography, directorial, design or screenwriting talent pools. You’re still on the scene but in an engaging, stimulating and rewarding way. What I wouldn’t do with that level of wealth/access. Sigh.
@shotcaller – yes, excellent idea!
Who’s to say she’s not gonna do that in the future? She’s a millionaire, 19 years old, lost her father, and got out of a strange relationship with a much older guy and probably isbnot dependent on her toxic family anymore, also – dealt with serious mental health problems. Sometimes you just need to enjoy your life for a moment. Especially when you’re a teenager.
I don’t disagree with you – just pointing out alternatives to a university track as the definition of success.
They were on a double date with Paris godfather McCaulay Culkin when this pic was taken. He is like her surrogate dad. I think it’s a serious relationship but I think it’s also wise to deny it. Paps don’t afford young beautiful lesbians the same courtesies the give gay men couples or even most straight couples. Making it official will turn them into a pervert magnet.
I feel bad for Paris. She grew up with a mega famous man, hidden behind a veil. There was no normalcy, it is HER normal, but not society’s. Thanks to the fates, her suicide attempt failed. She is beautiful on the outside (except for the tats, imo) but on the inside, I wonder what’s going on. I wish she and her brothers the best and hope she finds peace. I wonder how little Blanket is, sure he isn’t little anymore and hopefully has a name other than blanket, oh Michael, RIP
I think her childhood was relatively happy and peaceful with her dad. Her troubles began when her custody was transferred to the Jacksons. They were strict to the point of being dictatorial. There was a rumor/report of Paris rolling her eyes or talking back to Janet and being slapped. Apparently everyone panicked because they didn’t want Katherine to find out. If this is true…poor Paris.
It was peaceful because they were so isolated from the outside world, living with an addict. That wasn’t good either.
Her childhood was not peaceful. MJ was unfit to be a parent on every single level.
The Jacksons are highly dysfunctional. She had tried to commit suicide some years ago and now has a drug problem. Cara is notorious for her drug use as are the other members of her circle.
There is no one in her life stable and selfless enough to intervene and guide her. She is only getting accepted into these circles because of the cache of who her father was, her money and minor celebrity/notoriety. These friendships aren’t real or substantive.
But Paris didn’t have a normal childhood because she was isolated. Therefore she is naive and missing a host of social skills and sophistication. This fast jet set nepotism crowd is possibly the worst group of people she could have ever chosen for herself.
MJ’s adoption of these kids was selfish. He’s left them with no family structure or unconditional love. Macaulay Culkin struggles with serious addiction issues and is hardly capable of taking care of her or any of them much less himself.
I really hope someone intervenes.
Bridget
That is not really our call to make. Paris never said she had a typical childhood, she just described it as incredibly happy. Michael’s addiction to painkillers is not in dispute but his children all agree that he was a warm, loving father. He didn’t over indulge them and they felt they had unconditional love. I’m not going to knock thatbecause of the big picture. Besides, I’m not certain that any child of Michael Jackson should have ever been raised in the spotlight. Paris’ issues began after her father’s death.
Magnoliarose
There are two separate issues here. First of all, Michael Jackson and the mother of his children maintain that the children were biologically fathered by him. I don’t believe that but out of respect for the children I’m uncomfortable calling them adoptees. A person’s origin story deserves respect imho.
Secondly I don’t maintain that Paris doesn’t have issues. She has been open about her drug abuse and self-harm. But it’s also clear that her father loved and tried to protect her as a child. I wish you could fathom the amount and variety of his obsessive and obsessed fans in those days. Those kids needed a bit of isolation in some ways. I agree that having children should have been the last thing Jackson should have done but regardless, fatherhood seems to have been something that meant a lot to him. After his death it was Paris’ inability to cope with her grief, the dysfunction of the Jackson relatives and her sexual assault that propelled her into damaging, unhealthy activities and relationships. It doesn’t seem fair to dismiss her earlier years as garbage.
@Shotcaller
I strongly disagree with you. Respectfully of course.
His children’s world was ruled by a paranoid, unstable man in a home filled with strange people and minimal contact with the outside world.
Now the credible accusations by many young children that he sexually abused them seems to be forgotten. If metoo has taught us anything, it is to believe them, and disregard attempts to smear the victims. If his case came out today, it would have been an enormous scandal. He was no different than Sandusky choosing kids from downtrodden circumstances whose greedy parents failed to protect them.
His soft-spoken public persona was an act and those who knew him even talk about how he was not the person he pretended to be in public. Even his voice was normal and not the childlike Peter Pan whisper he used all the time. Towards the end of his life, his behavior became increasingly dangerous and unhinged, while taking more and more drugs and even had overdoses that weren’t reported to the public until after he died.
The lie that he was their bio father is outrageous, and Paris still thinks she’s black! I believe she became unstable from being thrown out of her extremely bizarre isolated household into a scary world that she couldn’t have possibly understood along with grief from his sudden death.
His memory has benefitted from being loved from childhood and his enormous talent but also the times he lived in and less interest in revisiting his story. But there was nothing innocent and harmless about him.
I hugely disagree as well. Happy children doesn’t mean that they’re being raised well, or are well adjusted or have ANY life skills. The things we know about Michael Jackson? He should never have had children. Ever. He did them a huge disservice and left them utterly unprepared for their lives.
magnoliarose: Thanks for saying (in a much more succinct manner) what I wanted to say, but just didn’t feel like it on a Sunday morn. It’s hard to believe she could have any level of normalcy living the life she has lived and surrounded by so many toxic people. MJ was a musical genius, but man can you imagine growing up like those three kids did. Thanks for your post.
Videos surface every now and again of Blanket (apparently called Bigi) hanging out with his cousins and friends.
Here’s snippets over the last few years.

Thanks Jayna. He has looked sad to me ever since he was first seen. On the stage, the other two kids are smiling and there’s a tear in his eye. Damn. I did some more looking around and find nothing to make me feel optimistic for Bigi….OMG the names. There were a few vids with him goofing around with what I assume are his cousins, so at least he isn’t in as alone as he and his siblings appeared to be in their childhood. Here’s hoping.
Just saw @Shotcaller’s posts. There are many famous people whose children’s lives we know nothing about. I mean, Jesus, Paul McCartney, the original megastar’s kids have grown to be famous in their own right, or relatively unknown, like James. Stella is very famous. By disguising the children, MJ only accelerated the paps in particular to get pics. Those kids don’t have a clue what it feels like to go to the park or normal kid stuff, unless Neverland counts. Ugh. It’s all strange and sad and weird, and hopefully they will all turn out to be productive, caring human beings.
@Nancy – that was the point of the kids wearing masks when they were with him, so no one would know what they looked like. They hung out with their school friends all the time, at the park, movies, birthday parties, etc. As long as Michael wasn’t around, no one knew who they were, they were just regular kids hanging with their friends. It was actually a brilliant move by Michael.
@KiddV: those kids famously started school for the first time after his death.
They still had friends they hung out with, school friends or not. Paris, herself, said she hated the masks but understood why they did it. I had never thought of the reason why until she mentioned it, I just thought it was Michael Jackson being Michael Jackson and all his weirdness.
I saw a recent video of him being called homophobic slurs by his cousin.
Poor kid needs out.
Cute, be it friendship or couple. Mostly I’m here for Cara’s coat in tha last pic, it’s fabulous! 🙂
There is no way Cara D. Is only 25.
+1 more like 35
August 12, 1992. She is. Models today look much older.
Drugs and a non stop party life is aging.
who are Cara’s close friends you mentioned above?
I lost track of all these squads 😀
Kendall, sometimes Gigi, Suki Waterhouse, Georgia May Jagger and it seems like a bunch of off and on revolving friendships. She’s tight with other upper class Brits too. They live for drama.
Ah, I see, thank you!
Some of them allegedly using drugs doesn’t surprise me.
Were Alicia (forgot her last name) and Soko, the two Stewart’s ex girlfriends I can remember, really part of a Hollywood type bunch?
I thought that an indie french actress/singer nobody on this site ever heard of was actually an effort to go extra insular actually. Even if it lasted 2 seconds.
I went to college to hopefully get a better job afterwards. She doesn’t need money, why would she go to college? Very few people go just to learn. I think Michael left her enough money that she doesn’t have to work. Ever.
Hopefully she won’t end up broke like Lisa Marie Prestley…
Her older brother is going to school right?
Knowledge is always a must, money is far from being enough. Yeah, learning skills to get a job is necessary, but you don’t have to go to college to get a good job, many trades that pay well don’t require a college degree. Very few people go to uni just to learn stuff because we all need to work in order to survive, I’m sure that if higher education and the cost of living wasn’t so expensive, more people would choose to enroll in a class or 2 every year just for the fun of it.
But knowledge and curiosity are what will keep you going through life, especially if you don’t have to work to survive. I can’t imagine anyone living 70+ years in a totally vapid environment without turning completely nuts. Plus it’ll help you not be duped by people claiming to have your best interests at heart.
There is big money being paid right now to make Paris “happen.” I think this may be a part of this staged scenario.
No biggie. Paris is a teenager still. She doesn’t need to be in a relationship. Let her date and have fun.
However I do side-eye 25 year old Cara hooking up with a teen, one that is still very much delayed in maturity. I hope she keeps that in mind and not throw her away and move on quickly. I usually don’t get in the “gross, she’s too young fights” but there are some 18-20 year olds who seem less emotionally mature than others of their age group. Compare Paris to the Parkland teens. Day and night.
Cara is 25 though. This is way too young for a person to be side-eyed for being FWB with or dating a 19-year-old. A little bit of side-eye would be somewhat understandable if Cara was the same age as Mick Jagger or someone around that age group, but this isn’t that kind of situation. Guys in the entertainment industry like Nick Jonas, Harry Styles, and Justin Bieber have been hooking up with women in their late 20’s since they were 18 and they never get portrayed as victims for it. As far as moving on quickly goes, by 19, most people realize that this is a risk that comes with sex and dating. That doesn’t mean that it can’t still hurt when you care about someone more than they care about you, but it’s unlikely that either of them are looking to get a forever mate out of this or don’t expect break-ups to happen. They’ve both dated other people and broken up with them before too. I’m not worried about this.
Age 19 is a freshman in college, 25 is a young adult post college with a job. Two different points in life. Again if Paris was a regular 19year old but her development is that of a 14 years old, someone in junior high.
Taylor Swift got side-eye for being in her 20’s and dating a teen. Everyday famous guys in their mid-twenties get sideeyed for dating girls age 18-20. I’ve read the comments about taking advantage of underdeveloped young girls. It doesn’t matter that this is a same sex relationship, a relationship is a relationship. Shocking, but women can be predators too and yes women in same sex relationships get just as hurt as in heterosexual ones.
It’s a 19 year old vs a 25 year old. There is a difference. That gets a side-eyed regardless of the gender.
“I’ve read the comments about taking advantage of underdeveloped young girls. It doesn’t matter that this is a same sex relationship, a relationship is a relationship. Shocking, but women can be predators too…” Right, but that’s a separate issue. You’re talking about sexual predators. These are two consenting adults who are only 6 years apart dating or hooking up. It’s very important to make a distinction between rape culture and the-millenials-these-days-are-loving-it-up-and-stuff-in-ways-I-wish-they-wouldn’t- culture. There is usually a difference in maturity between the 19-year-old and the and the 25-year-old, but a 6-year difference in life-experience does not equal a lack of consent. Can you imagine what would happen if we went around labelling every adult relationship where one partner was more mature than the other “rape”? Paris Jackson has not said that Cara Delevigne has done anything predatory or otherwise abusive to her, and so far there are no #MeToo stories out about Cara indicating that she’s an abuser.
With Taylor Swift’s situation the guy was still in high school (and, do we know if he was even 18 yet before anything romantic happened? Or was he 17?). But even with that it seemed like most of the conversation was about how stunted Taylor Swift had to be for getting involved with a high school student and what a woman-child she was compared to others her age like Adele. There wasn’t concern about him being too young and emotional to handle it if Tay-Tay hit it, quit it, and moved on to someone else.
@M.A.F.
+10000
Exactly. That’s all I’m trying to say.
co-sign!
There is something hypocrite lying there: if she was 20 nobody would bat an eyelash… for a year … and yet when there is 20 years of difference but the girl is 23… (and the older one is a man)… well hey she is a full on woman right?
pfff 19/25 is nothing no matter what the genders
you side eye…but im pretty sure you dated an older guy or gal and made it out alive…
this site kills me with the judgey comments…. all i hope for is for paris to have fun but not get caught up in the hard drugs like cara.
“Hey Cara, come make out with me in public so I can complain that the paparazzi are invading my privacy.”
Something like that, yep.
What a time to be LGBT? This is so great for the younger gays. We’ve come a long way. I have no opinion on the couple or hookup or whatever.
that opening picture, if you squint, could be Gigi Hadid.
That’s exactly who I thought it was. I was actually confused when it said Paris Jackson, because I was like, that’s not her, is it?!?
I often wonder what Paris would be like if her father were still alive. I think Michael valued education, even though he did not pursue post-secondary education. I am fairly certain he wouldn’t be thrilled about Paris’ current existence and would have likely encouraged her to be more productive since one thing Michael was not was lazy. Despite his numerous problems, I firmly believe he loved his children and wanted them to have a happier life than he had. It’s too bad that his addiction took his life. As someone who is a life long fan of Michael, i wish nothing but good health and happiness for his kids 💛
Paris seems to be doing a great jov ataying positive. She has lived through and overcome a lot, takea a strong public stand on social media and speeches for causes ahe cares about, and really, I can’t ask for anything more from her a teen. I think her father would have been so proud. As for Cara – she’s hot. If Paris wants to dance in the steets and kiss Cara Delavigne, why not? Living the dream. If you are young and privileged, enjoy it.
I always felt a tug when it came to MJs kids but I especially have a soft spot for Paris bc of her inability to cope through the very real and serious pain she’s had/have. The loss of her father & the abuse she’s experienced shattered her, then to constantly, especially now, always read and hear “he wasnt her/their father” is so heartbreaking. HE IS her father. He raised, provided, and loved them. Is that not what makes a parent? Why do people CARE of their paternity? Bc he may have “lied”? So what??? Why is it society’s business? The only father they have died & that’s left a hole so big in this poor girl & people throwing salt in her wound over & over again is doing her no favors. I always only hope for the best for MJ’s CHILDREN
This 100%
I have no valid public commentary on their paternity. If it were anyone but Michael Jackson we would be screaming about respecting birth plans. I went to college with a young man who didn’t find out he was adopted until a medical issue came up but there are people who defend his parents’ decision not to tell him the truth. If it were anyone but Michael Jackson we would be screaming about respecting birth plans. I went to college with a young man who didn’t find out he was adopted until a medical issue came up but there are people who defend his parents decision not to tell him the truth.Families should always be made by choice imo. To those kids he was dad and the hole he left apparently can’t be filled. I believe he was the one constant who gave them not only guidance but unconditional love.
He is her father. But the reality is that the life he chose to live was so bizarre (even the parts that aren’t controversial) that there’s always going to be lingering fascination. Michael made a lot of very, very strange decisions. He hid a lot from the public. That was his choice, but I can understand why people are so curious. As far as the genetic makeup of his kids… Michael clearly didn’t tell his children or the rest of his family about his life choices, and while I think that there’s no shame in adoption and surrogacy, I don’t think it’s something to bludgeon someone with. The only time I personally give a side eye is when they use Michael’s genetics as justification for going into showbiz.
This is so 2000. *eyeroll
These people all look the same. If u put Gigi Hadid in the middle they could be triplets.
I can’t hate on Paris. She’s sad and lost in a haze of booze and drugs. Ya she’s not a celebrity, and wishes she was one, but whatever. . . she’s low hanging fruit, it’s not right.
