Thor director Taika Waititi and singer Rita Ora are engaged. The couple, who have been together since May 2021, finally decided to take a serious step.
Proposals of lovers of “hands and hearts” to each other were made in turn. The ceremony for loved ones is scheduled for the summer, and in September the couple will celebrate an event on a Hollywood scale.
How did the history of this couple’s relationship develop? We describe it below.

Taika Waititi is a New Zealand director who rose to prominence in Hollywood circles after directing the vampire comedy The Real Ghouls (What We Do in the Shadows). The film became so popular that television companies were instantly interested – on the basis of the tape, two series “Paranormal Wellington” and “Real Ghouls” were shot. Waititi produced these sitcoms himself and moved on to other projects.
He was commissioned to shoot the third and fourth episodes of Thor in Hollywood: Thor: Ragnarok was an incredible success in the cinema, and Thor: Love and Thunder is due to hit theaters soon in July and judging by the trailer, it’s the big movie. In addition, Waititi did not disregard dramatic films – he is the screenwriter and director of Jojo Rabbit, in 2021 the tape received the Oscar for Best Screenplay.
Overall, Taika’s career has always been good. And, it seems, in his personal life as well. In 2011, he married New Zealand producer Chelsea Winstanley – the couple had two daughters.
Waititi rarely appeared with his wife at social events – however, he constantly posted photos with his children on social networks. After the paparazzi caught the director in the arms of singer Rita Ora in 2021, the press accused him of treason. However, the accusations turned out to be unfounded. It turns out that the Oscar-winning director broke up with his wife in 2018, but hid it for several years.

Rita Ora’s personal life is as busy as her music career. Over the years, the singer has met with musician Bruno Mars, DJ Calvin Harris, producer Andrew Watt.
All the boyfriends of the singer are creative people. So it’s no surprise that he took an interest in Taika Waititi. She met the director in Sydney – then Waititi was on the set of Thor: Love and Thunder and Rita was on the jury for The Voice show.
Initially, the couple hid their romance. But after the paparazzi brought them together, they had to reveal the truth about their relationship.
“I am in a wonderful place in my life. That’s all I have to say about it. I just think privacy is important. Yes … I learned a lot in my 30s,” the singer said in an interview with Vogue Australia.
nobody needs
Initially, Taika Waititi and Rita Ora were caught with actress Tessa Thompson. The trio cheerfully rested and spent time together – and journalists wrote about their strange union. Then Waititi was convicted for his inappropriate behavior – can a director who makes films based on comics for children really act that way?
“Is it really that big of a deal? I didn’t do anything terrible or criminal, so everything should be fine,” Taika explained.
However, the third turned out to be really unnecessary. Taika and Rita were left alone – they began to go out together and post photos on social networks. At the same time, they did not comment on their relationship in the press. They seemed to think that happiness loves silence. Is not it?
