Michelle Rodriguez returns ex-Cara Delevingne's 'no longer required' Bambi portrait

Michelle Rodriguez has returned her former girlfriend Cara Delevingne's portrait to street artist Bambi Graffiti's agent, saying that it was "no longer required".

Rodriguez, who had commissioned the pop art portrait, which featured a monochrome outline of the model's face, with her piercing blue eyes and red lips highlighted in bold colours, was shipped back, the Daily Star reported.

Bambi's manager and agent Lenny Villa has confirmed the return of the item, joking that he suspects a "lover's tiff" may have played a part and that he had received no complaints except for the note that said that it was no longer required.

He said that nobody ever sends back a Bambi and he is baffled by this, but will sell it again, as people are queuing up to buy her work.

Delvingne and the 'Avatar' actress were first spotted kissing at a basketball game in February and had been almost inseparable, before rumours were rife that the pair's relationship may have fallen off track after a string of rows.
