All signs are pointing to the fact that singer Rita Ora and “Thor: Love and Thunder” director/writer/actor Taika Waititi have said “I do.”
The celebrity couple has been seen wearing gold bands on their ring fingers, People magazine reported.
However, representatives of the entertainers did not confirm the milestone when asked by several media outlets.
But unnamed sources have confirmed the wedding to both E! News and W Magazine.
Rumors of a relationship between Ora and Waititi started in April 2021 when Ora posted a photo of herself with Waititi, People magazine reported.
A few months later, they walked the red carpet together at the premiere of “The Suicide Squad” and again at the 2021 Met Gala.
While the recent ceremony was said to have been “intimate,” the unnamed sources said the couple will be throwing a large celebration later, W Magazine reported.
Waititi had been married to Chelsea Winstanley but they broke up in 2018. They have two daughters — Te Kāinga o te Hinekāhu, 10, and Matewa Kiritapu, 6, according to People magazine.
This is Ora’s first marriage, W Magazine reported.
