Rita Ora gives rare insight into marriage and how Taika Waititi inspires her
Rita Ora has given a rare insight into her marriage to Taika Waititi and has shared how he inspires her.
The singer, 32, went public with the filmmaker in April 2021 and they were rumoured to have had their nuptials in August 2022 after a secret engagement. They managed to keep their happy news under wraps until January this year, to much speculation.
Rita has rarely spoken about her husband, but has now said their relationship is "really organic". The couple have even collaborated together on a music video, which she says went "really well".
“We deal with it really well, we just put our heads down and just put it into the work to be honest. It’s been super nice to have his support, and we just have this really great connection like musically, as well as creatively.

Earlier this year, Rita opened up about working with Marvel director Taika by sharing some of the warnings she had heard from people telling her not to "work with the ones you love."
She told hosts Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on Heart Breakfast : "Everyone said ‘Don’t do it, don’t work with the ones you love, it never works out’, and I thought why not, you know what, I really respect him.
"I really admire his creative contribution and we came up with a fun, not serious video, a bit like the original, just like a random dance party, that’s what this it," she said.
Jamie quizzed Rita on whether there was tension on the set, asking: "Was there no tension, did you not argue about how things should be done?"
"The only thing we had a tiff about was about me being late on set because my make up wasn’t going right," Rita replied. "He was like “Hurry up, we’re losing light, we’re losing light”! I was like “I’m sorry!”
Rita has previously revealed that although their romance seems like a whirlwind, the pair knew each other for around six years before taking things to the next level. She told Drew Barrymore on her chat show that things just "collided" for the couple and their blossoming relationship.
"I don't even know how to explain. Everything just went . . ." she told Drew, motioning her hands colliding with one another. "It genuinely just went like that," she said, snapping her fingers.
The popstar tied the knot with the Hollywood actor and filmmaker in an intimate ceremony - but kept it a secret until her wedding-themed music video was released.
"I am officially off the market people. I chose to keep it more private and keep it to myself more but with my new video I am playing on what could have been," she said on Heart Breakfast in January.
"When the rumours came out is she, isn't she? I wanted to play on it. I wanted to do a wedding that didn't go to plan… that's not to say that is actually what happened."

Revealing more about her special day, Rita said: "It was perfect. It was exactly, exactly how I wanted. It was nice and perfect. It is nice to keep some things just to myself sometimes it was nice and sweet… Sorry it's not that interesting. One day I will throw a big party."
Speaking about her decision to finally reveal her happy news, she said: "I knew putting music out that was inspired by where I am at [in my life] - I knew the questions were going to come.
"I just thought I may as well put it in my music so this is the first time where the music does all the talking. It explains my love story which is on the album."
