Rita and Taika's journey
Rita and Taika have been dating for a year and a half after becoming friends while she was in Australia working as a coach on the TV singing show The Voice. They made their red carpet debut together in August 2021 at the Los Angeles premiere of 'The Suicide Squad.' "Us. 4 years ago. To now. thanks for being cool. And entertaining me forevs..Happy Valentine’s Day bestie," read Rita Ora's Instagram post. They've lived in Sydney, Los Angeles, and now London, so perhaps a few days together in one place is all they need for a honeymoon.
