Okay, so imagine this: You’re Rita Ora. You’re rich, famous, and drop-dead gorgeous. You’ve got hits, you’ve got heels, and now… you’ve got a whole husband. But not just any husband—Taika Waititi, aka the chaotic genius who gave us hot Thor and vampire flatmates. And guess what? RITA PROPOSED TO HIM. Like, literally got down on one knee like she was about to tie his shoe, but instead she tied the knot. Icon behavior.
So here’s the deal: Rita, the 34-year-old sparkle queen of our hearts, decided she was DONE waiting for a man to pop the question. Instead, she snatched destiny by the scruff and said, “No more Mr. Nice Girl—it’s proposal time, baby.”
She told the whole wild fairytale on the Begin Again podcast (yes, that’s real), where she spilled the cake crumbs about her big romantic ambush. Picture this: a bougie Palm Springs hotel suite, balloons everywhere like Cupid had an aneurysm, and Rita standing there—cake in hand, heart in her throat, praying this wasn’t about to turn into Love Island: Breakup Edition.
“I’m literally holding the cake,” she said. “Like, holding a bloody cake.” (We need this embroidered on a pillow, ASAP.) Then in struts Taika, all chill vibes and flip-flops, and goes, “Wait… is it Valentine’s Day?” 😭😭😭
Rita’s like, “NOOOO, it’s life-changing proposal day, duh,” and drops to one knee like she’s about to propose to Harry Styles in a Wattpad fic. Meanwhile, Taika’s standing there confused like he just walked into a rom-com directed by Wes Anderson.
She even got the rings engraved with some ~~secret special love language~~ inside them. Nothing flashy, just sweet and low-key like a sentimental whisper that costs \$20,000.
And guess what? He said yes. He. Said. YES. Our girl didn’t just shoot her shot—she dunked it, backflipped, and landed with confetti and cake.
They tied the knot later in 2022 in a tiny private ceremony, probably officiated by a goat in a tuxedo knowing these two. And now? They’re living their best, wifed-up, artist-power-couple fantasy.
Let this be a lesson: If you want it, go get it. Rent the hotel. Buy the balloons. Hold the bloody cake.
