In August 2022, a source told PEOPLEthat the couple had wedin a “very small” ceremony, shortly after the pairsparked marriage rumorswhen Waititi and Ora wore what appeared to be wedding bands on social media.
In an cover story interview withGlamour UKpublished earlier this month, the “Let You Love Me” singer opened up about the planning behindher top-secret wedding to Waititi.
“[The wedding was planned] in two to three days, when I was out of cycle, which is what I call it when I’m not in album cycle mode,” Ora told the outlet. “His kids were there, and I really wanted them to be a part of it. It was either then or we had to wait for ages.”
She continued, “I didn’t want to do it without my stepkids there. So, we just figured it out, and we did it. And it was perfect. … It was a dream.”

Ora — whopublicly confirmed the marriagein January — also elaborated on her decision to keep the wedding private.
“Some women like to feel that real special attention that day. And everyone’s different. And for me – I think with my job, it is all … it’s very attention driven – I wanted to keep it private because my life and my career aren’t,” she said.
