I used to think with both of our careers it would be impossible, but I\u2019ve become friendly with Jacinda Ardern and she is my inspiration. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Jacinda took her baby everywhere. She even breastfed her at the United Nations, which to me is proof of what a woman who loves her job can achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nRita was first introduced to the Jojo Rabbit filmmaker at a barbecue in 2018 but didn&#8217;t start dating until 2021, and she admitted it was a &#8220;risk&#8221; to take their friendship further.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cWe were just good friends for three years after [we first met]. But we had so much to talk about because we have so much common ground: both our mothers have had breast cancer; both of us come from immigrant families with crazy stories who had to learn how to hustle&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cKissing your best friend is a big moment. Because when you fall in love with your best friend, you are risking quite a lot. What if it doesn\u2019t work out? What if you lose an incredible friendship? You\u2019ve seen When Harry Met Sally, right? Well, it was like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe I Will Never Let You Down hitmaker took a bigger risk in 2022, when she filled a hotel room with balloons, ordered a cake, and got down on one knee to propose when Taika entered the room.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe laughed: \u201cWas I ready to hear, \u2018No\u2019? Obviously, that\u2019s not the outcome I was looking for, but in life and in love, you sometimes have to take a risk for what you really want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cMy motto is: if you have a plan B, then you\u2019re not really focusing on plan A.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe pair married two months later, with Rita&#8217;s sister Elena, Taika&#8217;s children and his best friend in attendance, and she admitted  it wasn&#8217;t a day she had always expected to have.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter who you are, everyone at some point thinks, \u2018Will I ever find the right person for me?\u2019 I spent a long time thinking I\u2019d never find someone to marry. My question was: who\u2019s going to keep up with my pace? Well, I found him.\u201d<\/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-husband-taika-waititi-grateful-froze-eggs-1448065.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>25 July 2026 Taika Waititi is grateful Rita Ora froze her eggs in her mid 20s.
