Overview

• Rita Ora said she rented a Palm Springs hotel room filled with balloons and cake, got custom bands made and got down on one knee to surprise Taika Waititi with her proposal.
• The pair were friends for more than four years before they began dating in 2021 and married in a private Los Angeles ceremony planned in just two weeks in August 2022 to include Waititi’s daughters.
• Ora describes herself as a “fairy godmother” stepmother who spoils Waititi’s daughters with treats and outings before sending them back to their mother.
• She credits their long friendship—sharing relationship stories and mutual support—as the foundation of their marriage.
• Ora expressed her desire to expand into more film roles, citing Waititi’s mentorship as instrumental to her growing acting ambitions.
