LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the latest sneak peek of 'The Masked Singer' Season 11, fans and panelists were treated to the appearance of Seal, the last wildcard of the season. As the audience eagerly watched, both fans and panelists found themselves struggling to uncover the clues that would reveal the identity hidden beneath the mask. With little to no clues given, the guessing game became increasingly challenging.

Despite the difficulty, Rita Ora stood out as one of the confident panelists, boldly suggesting that the mysterious figure behind the mask was none other than her husband. As the Seal made its appearance on the stage, Ora said, "Guys I might fantasy the Seal mask," to which the mask replied, "Hi honey." Shocked, Ora said, "Is that my husband in there?" "Taika Waititi," teased other panellist Ken Jeong. At the end of the trailer, the mask teased Ora again saying, "We can make out now!" However, other panellists had their own guesses for the mask, as for Robin Thicke it was Sean Ashton. 

'The Masked Singer' Season 11: Clues for Seal

Seal, the charming contestant on The Masked Singer, brings a unique twist to the stage as a whitecoat harp seal. Picture this: white fur with adorable brown spots sprinkled throughout. Now, imagine a stylish ensemble featuring a lighter, patterned blue scarf, replacing the usual dark blue one. But wait, there's more! Seal tops off their look with a trendy trapper hat, adding an extra touch of flair to their already eye-catching appearance. With such a distinctive and fashionable outfit, Seal is sure to make a splash as the last wildcard on the show!

The secretive Seal mask is shrouded in mystery, with few clues available to decipher its identity. However, fans and judges alike eagerly anticipate its debut appearance on Episode 8 of The Masked Singer Season 11. With no prior sightings, this marks the first opportunity for both the panelists and viewers to begin speculating about who might be hiding behind the captivating mask.

When did Rita Ora and Taika Waititi get married? 

In the summer of 2022, Rita Ora surprised Taika Waititi with a romantic proposal in Palm Springs. According to Waititi, the moment was pure magic: "Rita proposed to me, and I instantly said 'yes'," he shared with Vogue Weddings.

Just a few weeks later, on August 4, 2022, the couple tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony held in Los Angeles. Despite being in the spotlight, they kept the event intimate, surrounded only by their closest family and friends. A source revealed to UK Sun that the ceremony was incredibly special, emphasizing the deep love shared between Ora and Waititi. “It was a really intimate ceremony and super special for everyone there."

Following the wedding, Ora officially changed her name to Waititi-Ora as a symbol of their union. The couple's decision to have a small wedding stemmed from their desire to maintain privacy in their relationship. While they plan to host a larger celebration in the future, they intend to keep it low-key and away from the media spotlight.
