- Rita Ora’s life is ‘better’ with Taika Waititi.
- We were really good friends for six years”.
- She hadn’t thought about settling down until she and Taika got together.
Before beginning a romantic connection, the “You Only Love Me” singer was friends with the “Jojo Rabbit” director for a number of years. She knew the director, who she is rumoured to have married last summer, was The One when she didn’t sense a substantial “shift” take place.
Asked how she knew Taika was the right person for her, she told GQ Hype: “When I didn’t feel a change, like my life just became better.
“We were really good friends for six years, and I went to Australia and we both had separate jobs, and we didn’t really know that many people out there. It was nice to see a familiar face and our universes just collided. That was it.”
And the 32-year-old singer hadn’t thought about settling down until she and Taika got together.
She added: “It was our bond that made me think, I’m ready to settle down. I never think about things like that because I don’t want to jinx anything.”
The lyrics of tracks on Rita’s upcoming new album discuss the couple’s love story.
She said: ““[With the album, I’m] capturing this moment in my life where I’m falling in love. There are things I talk about on it, very personal thoughts, about what it took for me to decide on this person, and to commit to him….
“I love to sing about my feelings. I like to make music about my feelings. That’s where it should live. The music, for the first time, will explain the questions people are going to want to ask me. ”
