Happy anniversary, @RitaOra and @TaikaWaititi! To celebrate their special day, the couple has shared their never-before-seen wedding album with Vogue.
Over the past year, information about their nuptials has spread like wildfire across the internet—not all of it correct. “It’s actually been quite entertaining for us to see the different stories people made up and all the while getting to keep it to ourselves,” Rita admits. “And, I love that we now get to share what really happened—and to do it on our one year anniversary no less!”
“Rita [Ora] proposed to me, and I said ‘yes’ instantly,” filmmaker Taika Waititi says of how he and the singer-songwriter became engaged. While the pair first met at a barbecue in 2018 that Taika hosted at his house in L.A., it wasn’t until 2021, when they were both filming in Australia, that they began dating. Rita popped the question while on vacation in Palm Springs in the summer of 2022, and they planned an impromptu wedding to be held in Los Angeles a few weeks later, on August 4. “It wasn’t in London or in France like everyone reported,” Taika clarifies. “It was in L.A. with a small group of friends.”

Part of me is sad the writers strike is over because I really feel like I’d found a new career as A MODEL FOR HERMÈS AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK. Oops caps lock was on.
Look at the intensity. Look at the focus. Look at the clothes. Look at the whole Taika. It’s insane that there’s literally nothing I can’t do. Including dying. Wow.
Thanks to @hermes for the love and thank you to @jeanneyangstyle for blackmailing them into letting me walk. Hollywood is boring and fashion is life. Byeeee mortals! 💥🤙🏽🤷🏽♂️💜🗽

I made a movie about the worst football (soccer) team in the world. Here’s a “trailer”. It’s not really a trailer. It’s a video of me telling you I made a film about the worst football (soccer) team in the world. So you don’t really need to watch it now. THE TRAILER I MEAN. Obviously watch the frikken film ya idiot.
Only in theatres from November something something. ⚽💥🌈💪🏽💋🤙🏽

There are two reasons I know Taika means magic in Finland. #1 – When Facebook started I created a group of all the Taikas I could find in the world which ended up being me and 36 Finnish girls. And #2 – I recently found this delicious elevated coffee beverage that gave me energy and made me feel amazing without being made of poison. It’s perfect for stimulating your creativity. It’s called Taika. And of course, being the ego maniac I am, I’ve joined them. It was honestly easier than starting my own brand called Taika. And also it was too late for me to do that. So here we are! This amazing award winning motion picture is just a little intro to tell you all how excited I am to be partnering with this awesome brand as CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER – a role that will involve creating new amazing drinks that help fuel your creativity. Expect more of me doing this in the months to come. Soz not soz. DRINK ME! @taika #ad LINK IN BIO BISH
