Taika Waititi Married His Girlfriend Rita Ora
Taika Waititi, a director from New Zealand, is said to have married his girlfriend Rita Ora in an intimate ceremony. According to The Sun, Waititi, 46, and Ora, 31, swapped their London wedding and Ora changed her last name to Mrs. Waititi-Ora.
A source informed the newspaper and revealed the details of their private ceremony:
“It was quite a personal ceremony that was incredibly meaningful to everyone in attendance.” Your loved ones can see how much you love each other.
The source also said the Poison singer intends to keep her personal life low-key, although the couple is planning a big party soon.
“Even though she’s in the spotlight, Rita wants to keep the relationship as private as possible and didn’t want to make a big deal out of the wedding.” A big showbiz-style celebration is planned to commemorate, but don’t expect the magazine to come up with the highest bid marketed.
While this is Rita Ora’s first marriage, Taika Waititi was previously married to Chelsea Winstanley, with whom he has two children.
