Rita Ora’s Husband Taika Waititi: A Love Story Unveiled

Love is a powerful force, and for Rita Ora and Taika Waititi, it’s a journey that has charmed hearts. The You & I singer and the acclaimed director of Thor: Love And Thunder sealed their love in 2022, and their story is nothing short of enchanting.

Rising to fame with her debut album Ora under Jay-Z‘s Roc Nation, Rita Ora soared to stardom, contributing hits like For You to the 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack. Along the way, she navigated private relationships with notable figures such as Calvin Harris, Andrew Wyatt, and Andrew Garfield.

In a candid revelation to Billboard, Ora shared her transformative encounter in Australia during her time on The Voice. “I met somebody who changed me forever,” she expressed, marking a turning point in her life.

Enter Taika Waititi. Introduced by Robert Pattinson at a house party in 2018, Rita Ora and Waititi officially embarked on their romantic journey in 2021. Fans got wind of their connection through Instagram posts and witnessed the pair sharing kisses with Tessa Thompson, co-star of Thor: Love And Thunder.

Their relationship went public at the red-carpet premiere of The Suicide Squad, and they continued to grace events together, including the 2021 Met Gala, Vanity Fair Oscars Party, and the MTV European Music Awards, solidifying their status as a power couple.

The culmination of their love story happened in August 2022 when Ora proposed to Waititi in a Los Angeles ceremony. The simplicity and bliss of the event were emphasized by Ora‘s sister walking her down the aisle, creating an intimate and memorable celebration.

Waititi, reflecting on the wedding, expressed joy in avoiding the stress of traditional ceremonies. “Just having close friends and not having it too big… My daughters were there, and they made everything really fun and easy,” he shared.

Since then, the couple has openly shared their admiration for each other. Waititi, a “Reservation Dogs” producer, revealed how the 2023 Writer’s Guild Strike brought them closer, envisioning himself as Ora‘s “little tour toy boy,” enjoying her performances and providing backstage tea.

In a delightful revelation, Waititi disclosed a quirky side of their relationship, recounting a Shrek-themed escapade at an Airbnb. Dressed as Fiona and Shrek, they embarked on a whimsical adventure, proving that their love is profound and infused with laughter and creativity.
