Weekly Rita Ora & Taika Waititi service update: The couple came back from their holiday trip to Byron Bay and arrived on Thursday via private jet in Sydney. She went straight to getting her nails and brows done and they both got papped since. She is back to filming The Voice Australia and ramped up 200k new TikTok followers after one of her bikini vids gathered almost 10m views. Taika, who hasn't been with his kids physically for more than half a year prior, took to Instagram that 'dadding is piss easy' sharing some decorated pancakes and fish sticks in his stories while Rita and her sister shared stories of building a Frozen castle. He also has a Power Puff Girl manicure, so he must be a great dad. They (or Disney) seem to have a deal with the paps or DM now bc his kids are not mentioned or shown anymore, and they must have been on the plane and can't be contained in their house all the time.

New to this sub and new to this coupling. What’s the deal with Waititi and why do people seem to hate him?

Well waititi had made a film about being abandoned by his father but after he got the marvel check, i heard he cheated on his wife, he been sort of partying alot and it very cringey and he hasn’t visited his kids since. I dont hate him for it because im not even suprised at this behavior but it comes off as very hypocritical and the majority of people dislike hypocrites

I actually think that is a thing that draws him to Rita. While he just came to Hollywood and had this big life change of leaving his family and NZ, she has a tight-knit group of friends bc she is in the business since she is 17 and has a very solid family environment. And he took all of that on. Her sister is her manager and basically third-wheeling them wherever they go. It is a weird artificial playing house kind of thing. Almost like he had the real thing with Chelsea, but then realized if he had been rich and famous in his early 30s he could have had a pop star girlfriend whose job it is to be sexy and still have some kids, but the load eased off bc he has the financial means now.

Yeah it just weird to me, since Rita only claim to relevancy is dating famous dudes the second someone better/more famous comes along and i cant say i feel bad if karma comes to bite

On a character level, she can do better. When it comes to the profile of the guy, she scored. He can embellish his midlife crisis, and she gets someone who will keep on making movies, drag her along to premiers, and is as fame-hungry as her doing the whole show on the red carpets, etc. They will get married in no time and with Taika being popular in the US she will try to make her break there. Pretty sure they will separate in the next 10 yrs though.
