Rita Ora confirms she’s married to Taika Waititi: “I’m officially off the market”
Rita Ora is officially off the market.
The singer-songwriter appeared on the Heart Breakfast Show to promote her new song “You Only Love Me,” in which she confirmed that she and partner Taika Waititi did indeed tie the knot.
“Yes. Here we are,” Ora said when Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden asked her if she was married. “They say everything happens for a reason. I’m officially off the market, people.”
She went on to explain that they had a “perfect” wedding that was “exactly how I wanted it,” without going on to explain much more.
“It was just fun and perfect,” said the singer. “Just the way I wanted it – sometimes just for myself. It was really sweet. … Sorry, it’s not that interesting! One day we will throw a big party. I’ll find the time to throw a big, big party.
The “You Only Love Me” music video features Ora and her overzealous bridesmaids as she prepares for her wedding, with everything going wrong around her. It ends with the bridal party arriving at the location, a castle on fire.
“When all kinds of rumors came out, like them [married]? Isn’t she? I wanted to play on it,” the singer explained. “So this is my version of a wedding that didn’t exactly go to plan. That’s my video clip. But that doesn’t mean what actually happened. But I wanted to play on the fact that I chose to keep it a little more private this kind of experience that I had and just a little bit more to myself but I wanted to play on what could have been so this is what I to the public about what could have been.
