Taika Waititi opens up about relationship with Rita Ora: We both grew up poor
Recently, the well-known director and at the same time the husband of the singer Rita Ora, Taika Waititi, has told everything about the romance with the pop music star and described all his feelings. The 47-year-old, who married the singer earlier this year, revealed that he had known the "Hot Right Now" hitmaker for three years before they started dating in 2021.
Speaking during an interview with the BBC, Taika said that he and Rita's relationship works because they were 'best friends' before their romance blossomed. Asked about their first meeting, Taika said:
"We've actually known each other for years before we got together. Everyone thinks we met in Australia last year. You know who brought it to my house? Robert Pattinson. He brought it. I was doing a little party and we just talked, we became friends. Then for years, for three and a half years we were just good friends. We were in different relationships, it was a good friendship, and then we decided to break it all off. We come from different parts of the world, she's from Kosovo and I'm from New Zealand, they're very far apart, but our backgrounds were quite similar. We both grew up poor. The background of the New Zealand population is quite similar to the Kosovar community, as our sensibilities are quite aligned, I think."
Meanwhile, Rita, on the other hand, has recently revealed how she always dreamed of getting married since she was a child, amid her secret marriage with husband Taika Waititi. Speaking in an interview with Louis Theroux, Rita spoke about Taika, saying that he is a wonderful man.
