Rita Ora and Taika Waititi started their relationship as friends around 2018. Waititi wrote via Instagram in 2022, “We’ve been mates ever since. Then a year ago we decided to ‘complicate’ things but it just got easier. Happy Valentines Day to my bestie.”
A controversial PDA
The pair made headlines in May 2021 after photographs where they cuddled and kissed Tessa Thompson were made public. Waititi stated they had done “nothing wrong” and it’s “not really [a big deal].” A few months later the pair had their official event as a couple during the premiere of ‘Suicide Squad’ in Los Angeles.
