Ora gave some insight into her big day, saying it was “exactly how I wanted it” and “nice and perfect”. However she added: “One day, we’ll throw a big party. I’ll figure out the time to have a big, big party”.

It was first reported that Ora got married to Waititi in August 2022. According to a source from The Sun, the pair tied the knot in an “intimate” ceremony in London. The singer and Thor: Love and Thunder director began dating in March 2021, making their first red carpet debut that August.

They reportedly met in Sydney after Ora left the UK following her lockdown breaking birthday party in London during the Covid-19 pandemic. The incident at the time saw Ora branded “wrong and irresponsible” by Home Secretary Priti Patel.

The pair fuelled marriage speculation after Ora shared pictures to her Instagram sporting a gold wedding band on her ring finger. A similar ring was also seen worn by Taika in a now-deleted post, shared by Ora’s sister Elena on 5 August. In it Waititi was seen wearing the gold ring on his left finger as he enjoyed a drink in the sunshine. Ora also uploaded the same photo, but covered Waititi’s hand with her caption.
