British singer Rita Ora is head over heels in love with Taika Waititi.
After weeks of speculation that the pair tied the knot in a secret ceremony in London, Ora has spoken of her love for the Kiwi director in a rare interview.
Appearing on Jaime Winstone's Greatest Night Ever podcast, the Poison singer did not directly confirm her recent nuptials but did gush over her love for the Thor: Love and Thunder director saying, "I'm in love. I'm very much in love. I'm in love, I'm in love, amen!
"But I love love as well. I've always been such a believer in it and I've always felt like I always wanted the fairytale and that's what I grew up loving."
The popstar went on to say that her parents have been together for over 30 years adding, "for me it was always about love and finding a partner and all that, so I'm really happy I did".
"I made that choice. It made me happy and I love Taika. He's so funny and lovely."
The couple are yet to confirm their marriage publicly but rumours first circled about their nuptials in August after the Kiwi director was seen in an Instagram story with a band on his ring finger.

A source later told The Sun, Ora and her husband opted for a small affair, described as "... a really intimate ceremony and super special for everyone there. Their nearest and dearest can see how madly in love they are".
The Sun's source went on to surmise why the pair chose a quiet celebration rather than a lavish do.
"Despite living in the spotlight, Rita is determined to keep the relationship as private as possible and didn't want to make a big song and dance about the wedding," they said, adding that there are plans for a "big, showbiz-style bash" to celebrate their union in time.
However, they told the Sun fans shouldn't expect to see it "being flogged to the highest-bidding magazine".
It comes after the Daily Mail reported the couple are planning a large wedding in London for her friends and family after they were seen in New Zealand presumably visiting Waititi's family in Wellington last month.
An anonymous caller told the Herald Waititi and his wife, reportedly now going by Mrs Waititi-Ora, were "on flight NZ5 at 6.10am" on August 15 and were seen taking a second flight to the capital, where it's understood Waititi's mum lives.
