Taika Waititi Reveals Wife Rita Ora Proposed To Him

Rita Ora and director Taika Waititi tied the knot at their Los Angeles home last August, surrounded by a small gathering of family and friends.

In a recent interview, Taika Waititi reveals it was Rita Ora who popped the question on their engagement.

He made the revelation during a new interview with Vogue to celebrate the couple’s one-year wedding anniversary that the “Praising You” singer, 32, was actually the one who popped the question.

“She proposed to me, and I said ‘yes’ instantly,” Waititi revealed.

The pair first met at a barbecue that Waititi hosted at his Los Angeles home in 2018, but only began dating three years later after linking up while they were both filming in Australia, according to Vogue.

Ora proposed on their vacation in Palm Springs in the summer of 2022 — only a few weeks before the wedding took place at their home in L.A. on Aug. 4.

“There were about eight people there — just close friends and family, and parents on Zoom,” Waititi said, noting that the small guest list included his sister Elena and daughters Te Kāinga o te Hinekāhu, 11, and Matewa Kiritapu, 7.
