Rita Ora just confirmed that she and Taika Waititi are officially married

During the summer of 2022, reports and rumours were flying about surrounding Rita Ora and her supposed wedding to Taika Waititi. Now, the singer has spoken out and confirmed all that there is to know about said marriage. Spoiler: she's officially off the market!

Just yesterday [27 January 2023], Rita appeared on Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden. In the interview, the pair quizzed her marital status, to which she simply responded: "Yes, [...] You know, here we are. Everything happens for a reason, people. I am officially off the market."

I think this calls for yet another round of congratulations!

As I'm sure we all know, the old tradition goes that when a man and woman wed, typically she will her husband's surname. However, Rita still holds the last name Ora and speaking on this she shares her thoughts about taking on the Waititi name. "I've definitely thought about it, but I've worked very hard for this Ora name, I have to say," she says. "But I do believe in sharing the journey. I don't know, I haven't really kind of decided yet."

While the artist is yet to "figure out a time to do a big, big party", she still gave us an insight into the couple's private ceremony. "It was perfect," she shared. "It was just exactly, exactly how I wanted it. It was just nice and perfect, completely how I wanted it, just to myself sometimes. It was really sweet."

This news comes the same day as the music video release for her new song 'You Only Love Me' and aptly themed, it took narrative and inspiration from a wedding. "I knew that putting out a new single and it really being inspired by sort of where I'm at in my life, I knew the questions were going to come and I just thought I might as well put it in my music," Rita explained in the interview.

"So this is the first time I've done something where all the music does the talking really. So, you know, it explains it all in my sort of love story, which is on my album."

I mean, if her wedding dress is anything like the one shown in the video (read: it's giving wife of Frankenstein), you best believe we are so here for it.

Drop the pics, Rita... please!
