Poppy Delevingne Discusses Divorce Stigma

Actress and socialite Poppy Delevingne has revealed that the stigma associated with being a divorcee contributed to her delayed decision to end her marriage to businessman James Cook. Reflecting on their nearly decade-long relationship, she noted that while they share 'love and respect,' the relationship no longer worked for them. Delevingne expressed a sense of newfound freedom and independence following the separation, stating that she feels 'fully independent' and that every decision is now her own. She lamented the societal perceptions surrounding divorce, particularly for women in their late thirties without children, saying it creates an unnecessary pressure. On the podcast Origins With Cush Jumbo, she emphasized the importance of self-love and prioritizing happiness, declaring, 'I chose happiness. I chose me.' Delevingne is now reportedly dating billionaire Archie Keswick, highlighting her ability to move forward positively after her divorce.
