We wake up, we work out together with the kids running on the treadmills. It&#8217;s a family affair. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have to say it&#8217;s been a real eye-opener to understand that sometimes there&#8217;s more to life than what you care about in that moment. I&#8217;ve realised there&#8217;s so much more, so (becoming a stepmum) did give me that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Rita revealed that she has been uncomfortable with her body image at times and is thankful for therapy for helping her overcome a lack of confidence.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Let You Love Me hitmaker said: &#8220;I&#8217;ve tried my best to remember that when I&#8217;m thinking: &#8216;Oh gosh, I&#8217;m not the exact weight I want to be&#8217;, that all of that stuff is not real. What&#8217;s real is how you show up.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I know when people read this they&#8217;ll say: &#8216;Well, that&#8217;s easy for you to say because you look a certain way&#8217;, but I don&#8217;t always feel a certain way. I think that&#8217;s something to remember.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nRita continued: &#8220;I&#8217;ve just stopped honestly caring about what other people think. I&#8217;ve started to do more therapy and it&#8217;s all been my process.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I tell my fans: &#8216;Don&#8217;t worry if you haven&#8217;t got it figured out yet. No one has.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Heat singer has a packed schedule with commitments in music, TV and acting but always ensures that she exercises for an hour per day.<\/p>\n<p>\nRita said: &#8220;If I don&#8217;t have an hour of exercise a day, I am a mess.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Life is busy, so it&#8217;s not just the gym, it&#8217;s also going on the school run or out for a walk. It&#8217;s squeezing it in wherever you can. I always say to my team: &#8216;Whatever I&#8217;m doing or wherever I&#8217;m going, can we please schedule an hour in for my exercise?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I sweat every day, I just have to move my body. I work out five days a week. It&#8217;s always different &#8211; running, walking, sitting in the sauna&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But I enjoy my days off, too, and I don&#8217;t feel guilty about having a coffee and a cinnamon roll as I&#8217;ve done the work. I have such a sweet tooth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/rita-oras-perspective-life-changed-since-became-stepmother-taika-waititis-kids-1436981.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 February 2026 Rita Ora has revealed that being a stepmother has changed her perspective on life.
