Rita Ora discloses life-changing decision that shaped her future
Rita Ora opens up about baby plans with Taika Waititi
Rita Ora has opened up about the deeply personal decision to freeze her eggs in her mid-20s.
The 35-year-old singer revealed that husband Taika Waititi is now grateful she planned ahead as the couple consider starting a family together.
She shared that she froze her eggs at the ages of 24 and 27, long before meeting the Oscar-winning filmmaker.
Looking back, she believes it was one of the smartest decisions she ever made.
According to Rita, Taika often tells her: "Good job for planning ahead, girl."
The couple, who tied the knot in 2022, are now discussing the possibility of having children.
The 50-year-old filmmaker is already a father to two daughters from his previous marriage to Chelsea Winstanley, and The Masked Singer star admitted she has loved becoming a stepmother.
However, balancing parenthood with two demanding careers has been a major consideration.
The Hot Right Now singer confessed she once feared having a baby while juggling their hectic schedules would be impossible.
But former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern changed her perspective.
Rita said seeing Ardern continue leading her country while raising daughter Neve, even breastfeeding at the United Nations.
the songstress also reflected on her romance with Taika, revealing they spent three years as close friends before taking the leap into a relationship in 2021.
She admitted falling for her best friend felt risky, as she feared losing their special bond if things didn't work out.
The Fifty Shades of Grey actress eventually made the boldest move herself by secretly proposing to Taika in a balloon-filled hotel room.
Fortunately, he said yes, and the pair married just two months later in an intimate ceremony attended by close family.
Now, with their future firmly in focus, she says that she finally feels she has found the partner who can keep pace with her extraordinary life.
