Did Rita Ora, Taika Waititi Get Married?
In June, it was reported that Ora and Waititi had mutually decided to get married, and that the wedding would take place this summer. The couple went official with their relationship in August 2021 after months of dating rumors.
As a source told The Sun, “This isn’t about them doing a big showy thing and crowing about it beforehand. It’s just about them being in love and deciding the time is right to formalise their relationship.”
Ora’s sister recently posted a photo of Waititi wearing what looks like a wedding band. This photo immediately sparked rumors that the couple had secretly wed. On Monday, The Sun reported that the couple had gotten married in London, and that Ora would be changing her last name to Waititi-Ora.
A source called it “a really intimate ceremony,” adding, “Despite living in the spotlight, Rita is determined to keep the relationship as private as possible and didn’t want to make a big song and dance about the wedding.”
