Rita Ora says she and husband Taika Waititi are always inspiring each other
The 33-year-old pop star and the 49-year-old Hollywood director secretly got married in 2022, and the 'I Will Never Let You Down' hitmaker has given a brief glimpse into their life together, sharing how they are always "full of ideas" as creatives.

She told E!: "We inspire each other.
"With me coming from music and him being a writer, a director and a filmmaker, it's a house full of ideas. We're both fire signs, too. So it's just fire, fire, fire."
Rita then quipped: "I am the funny one, I just want to let you all know that.
"But actually, we help each other out, always."
Rita previously explained that she wanted to keep their wedding private for a while, having shared so much of herself with fans over the last decade.
She told OK! Magazine: "I wanted to keep [the wedding] to myself for as long as I could. I've been in the public eye for a while now and I've always given everything I'm part of to the public. It felt nice to have something that was a secret for a bit."
The 'Anywhere' hitmaker - who popped the question to Taika herself - added that even her friends started to worry they had missed the nuptials before she invited just eight of her nearest and dearest to the intimate ceremony in Los Angeles.
She said: "A lot of my friends were like, 'Oh my God, we've missed it.' I just told them that we will figure something out. It felt chill - because my life is not chill!"
Rita is a stepmother to Taika's two children with his ex-wife Chelsea Wistanley and is open to the idea of having her own children.
She said: "Nothing much has changed in my life, I now just feel I've got company. But with Taika being from there [New Zealand], it's very important for the children to have a home.
"It [having my own children] happens when it happens. I just believe in the universe."
