Rita Ora to wed beau Taika Waititi in intimate ceremony after getting engaged

Rita Ora has got engaged to partner Taika Waititi after being in a relationship with him for 18 months.

The singer, 31, and Oscar-winning film director, 46, are said to be planning a "low key" ceremony that will take place imminently, with a bigger bash scheduled for some time later in the summer.

The nuptials are set to take place once the pair are done with their current work commitments.

Rita is a coach on The Voice Australia, and Taika is working on several films, including a new addition to the Star Wars franchise.

A friend said: “This isn’t about them doing a big showy thing and crowing about it beforehand. It’s just about them being in love and deciding the time is right to formalise their relationship. They couldn’t be happier.”

It comes after the pair made almost "simultaneous" proposals to each other.

The pal added: “They didn’t do a whole, ‘Will you marry me?’ thing and an Instagram post.

"There’s no ring or big build-up. They just got closer and closer and eventually said to each other almost simultaneously, ‘I want to marry you’.

“It’s actually really romantic and just exactly the way they are together.

"So the plan is to marry abroad, as soon as their respective projects end, with their closest friends and family around them. And then there will be a big celebration in London at a later stage, when they get the chance, with all their famous friends there.

“But for now it’s about getting down the aisle and making things official.

"There are a few details to iron out, but it’s coming soon and it’ll be beautifully intimate and perfectly them.”

The pair's romance was confirmed at the Suicide Squad premiere last year, however they have known each other for much longer.

Rita posted a picture of the pair to social media on Valentine’s Day this year, writing: “Us, four years ago. To now. Thanks for being cool, and entertaining me forever.”
