Rita Ora has officially confirmed she’s married to director Taika Waititi by wearing a 1980s YSL frock with an attached wedding veil in her latest music video.

The 32-year-old singer released the music video for her newest single, ‘You Only Love Me’, on Friday. The video has a strong wedding theme message, depicting Ora as a bride getting ready for her big day.

The video begins with several other celebrities shown on a vintage TV giving their congratulations to the bride.

“I just had the craziest dream, that you were getting married and I wasn’t there,” actress Kristen Stewart jokingly says.

Earlier Friday morning, shortly before the video was released, Ora confirmed the marriage in a Heart Radio Breakfast interview to promote her song release.

“Yes [I am married],” said Ora. “I am officially off the market people. I chose to keep it more private and keep it to myself more but with my new video I am playing on what could have been.”

She went on to describe the nuptials as “nice and sweet,” but didn’t share too many details. Instead, she talked about her uncertainty about whether she would take her husband’s name or keep her own.

“It was perfect. It was exactly, exactly how I wanted,” Ora said about her special day. She also said that she and Waititi plan to throw a big party to celebrate the marriage at some point in the future.

Relationship history

Ora and Thor director Waititi were first linked together in May 2021, when they were photographed together in Sydney, Australia. They were also caught kissing on a balcony soon after.

In June 2022 it was reported that the couple had gotten engaged. Just weeks later rumors started circulating that the couple tied the knot in a secret summer wedding.

More music to come

‘You Only Love Me’ is the lead single off of Rita Ora’s upcoming third album. Ora has yet to announce an album name or release date. However, in the same interview, she explains that her “music does all the talking. It explains my love story which is on the album.”
