Rita Ora and Taika Waititi are reportedly set to marry after almost “simultaneously” popping the question to each other.
According to The Sun, the British singer and the New Zealand director will wed in an intimate, low-key ceremony abroad “soon”, before celebrating their marriage in a big London bash later this year.
A friend told the publication: “This isn’t about them doing a big showy thing and crowing about it beforehand. It’s just about them being in love and deciding the time is right to formalise their relationship. They couldn’t be happier.”
They continued: “They didn’t do a whole, ‘Will you marry me?’ thing and an Instagram post. There’s no ring or big build-up. They just got closer and closer and eventually said to each other almost simultaneously, ‘I want to marry you.'”
The friend added that although there are “a few details to iron out”, the wedding will be “coming soon”.
Rita, 31, and Taika, 46, have known each other for years, but their relationship only turned romantic in 2021 after they grew close working together in Australia.

A source previously told New Idea that the relationship moved so quickly that the lovebirds began discussing marriage within a few months.
Taika was previously married to film producer Chelsea Winstanley, but the pair split in 2018.
The exes share two daughters, Te Hinekāhu, 10, and Matewa Kiritapu, 6.
