Rita Ora enjoyed a romantic stroll hand-in-hand with husband Taika Waititi in swanky Beverley Hills on Thursday. 

The songstress, 35, put on a leggy display for the low-key outing in a pair of skimpy shorts which she teamed with an oversized Hollywood T-shirt.

Shielding her famous features beneath a baseball cap and shades she toted her essentials in a straw handbag.

Meanwhile movie director Taika, 50, who wed Rita back in 2002, cut an equally casual figure in a T-shirt and jeans.

Donning shades and a black beanie he held his beloved wife’s hands as they enjoyed their walk in the sunshine. 

Last year, Rita shared rare insight into her marriage to Taika. She credited their strong friendship as the key component to their romantic relationship.

She said: ‘Taika and I are basically just best friends and we wanted to just live in that element forever, I guess.’

The couple wed in a secret ceremony in August 2022, after Rita bucked tradition and popped the question.

Their low-key Los Angeles ceremony wasn’t confirmed by the couple until a year later, which Rita told Grazia they ‘winged with zero planning’.

After years of not being in the right relationship during her ‘messy twenties’, Rita said that when she got together with Taika it felt ‘right and safe’.

The pair started dating in March 2021, before going public with their romance that August.

Prior to their romantic relationship, Rita and Taika were close friends for five years.

In a rare comment on her family life, Rita opened up about how being a stepmother changed her perspective on the world.

 Speaking to The Sun, Rita said she finds the role ‘easy’, but confessed it helped her understand how much more there is to life.

She said: ‘It’s really easy. We wake up, we work out together with the kids running on the treadmills, it’s a family affair.

‘I have to say it’s been a real eye-opener to understand that sometimes there’s more to life than what you care about in that moment. I’ve realised there’s so much more, so [becoming a stepmother] did give me that.’

Film director Taika shares his two children with his ex-wife Chelsea Winstanley, also 50, who he split from in 2018 after seven years of marriage.
