Rita Ora is officially off the market! Five months after sources told E! News [1] Ora tied the knot with director Taika Waititi, the singer finally confirmed her marriage during a Jan. 27 appearance on the "Heart Breakfast" radio show, per People [2]. When asked if she was married, Ora revealed, "Yes. Here we are," adding, "They say everything happens for a reason. I am officially off the market, people!"
Details about the couple's ceremony are still scarce, though a source previously told People [3] they got married in a "very small" ceremony. The Sun [4] was the first to report news of Ora and Waititi's wedding, and Daily Mail [5] noted that both were spotted wearing gold bands on their ring fingers.
Rumors about Ora and Waititi's romance [6] began in April 2021 when the singer posted a cozied-up snap of herself and the director in an Instagram photo series [7]. A month later, Daily Mail [8] reported that the pair were spotted out at a party at Waititi's Sydney home, where they were seen packing on a ton of PDA alongside Tessa Thompson (Ora recently addressed the viral throuple rumors [9] about the trio, calling them "absurd). Ora and Waititi made things official in July 2021 with their first public appearance as a couple at Próspero Tequila's Fourth of July rooftop party in Los Angeles.
Though the two have rarely addressed their relationship publicly, they've been seen at a number of events over the past two years — including the 2021 Met Gala [11], the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscars party [12], and the 2022 MTV EMAs, which they hosted together.
Waititi was previously married to Chelsea Winstanley, and the former couple shares two children: daughters [13] Te Kainga o te Hinekahu and Matewa Kiritapu. They split in 2018. Meanwhile, Ora has been previously linked to [14] stars like Rob Kardashian, Calvin Harris, and Andrew Garfield.
