Rita Ora made headlines with her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, where she jokingly referred to her husband, renowned director Taika Waititi, as a “s** god.”
The unexpected moment arose when Andy prompted Rita to depict the vibes of her celebrity friends such as Justin Bieber and Cardi B.
While Rita effortlessly shared insights about others, she momentarily struggled to encapsulate the essence of her filmmaker partner.
In a moment filled with giggles and joy, Rita exclaimed, “Just… just… s** god,” eliciting laughter not only from the live audience but also from fellow guest Diplo, a DJ and producer.
The couple marked their first anniversary in an endearing manner by finally disclosing details of their private ceremony.
Reflecting on their special day with Vogue, Rita and Taika revealed their amusement at the rampant misinformation circulating online about their wedding.
Following speculations that began in April 2021 when Rita posted a photo embracing the director, the singer, 32, and filmmaker, 48, opted to keep their relationship low-key.
Their public debut transpired in August 2021 at the Suicide Squad premiere, leading to engagement rumors in June 2022, over a year into their relationship.
Hence, fans have been curious about the specifics of their marriage.
Rita disclosed that she proposed to Taika during a summer getaway in Palm Springs in 2022, to which he promptly accepted.
The impromptu wedding took place in Los Angeles a few weeks after the proposal on Aug. 4.
Contrary to reports, the Thor: Love and Thunder director clarified that it wasn’t in London or France but in L.A., with only a small group of close friends and family present, joined by parents via Zoom.
For the intimate ceremony, the bride adorned a Tom Ford gown and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, emphasizing the significance of wearing her friend Tom Ford’s creation.
Rita expressed her delight at finding the perfect dress without needing alterations, describing the experience as a dream come true.
Recently, Rita released a music video for her single “You & I,” featuring scenes from their wedding day, the second video inspired by her bond with Taika.
In January, the video for “You Only Love Me” was unveiled, reflecting Rita’s initial vulnerability at the onset of her relationship with the director.
During a promotional tour for the video, Rita confirmed her marriage to Taika, revealing on Heart Radio Breakfast that she is now officially off the market.
Describing her wedding day as flawless and special, she explained her choice to maintain privacy initially but alluded to a more public acknowledgment through her new video.
This marriage signifies a significant milestone for Rita, who previously dated notable figures like Bruno Mars, Rob Kardashian, and Calvin Harris.
For Taika, this marks his second marriage, having been previously married to Chelsea Winstanley from 2011 to 2018, with whom he shares two children, Matewa Kiritapu and Te Hinekāhu.
