RITA & TAIKA: A-list love story!

THE SURPRISE COUPLE HAVE BEEN DATING FOR 18 MONTHS, AND NOW THERE’S TALK THAT THE PAIR ARE SET TO WED

- Jodie Wolf

Attending the London premiere of Thor: Love and Thunder on July 5, director Taika Waititi frequently paused on the red carpet – although in this case, it was a blue carpet – to hug and kiss longtime love, Rita Ora. The singer, 31, wore a silver embroidered gown by Elie Saab with long, fringed sleeves covering her hands. While even the most eagle-eyed fans could not spot an engagement ring, sources say a wedding is on the cards. “This isn’t about them doing a big showy thing and crowing about it beforehand,” a friend reportedly told UK’s The Sun. “They didn’t do a whole ‘will you marry me?’ thing and an Instagram post. There’s no ring or big build-up. They just got closer and closer, and eventually said to each other almost simultaneously, ‘I want to marry you.’”
