The announcement comes two months after a source told E! News that Ora and Waititi are married. While the pair, who first sparked romance rumors last year, have yet to address the wedding rumors, Ora noted she's "very much in love" with Waititi on the Sept. 20 episode of Jaime Winstone's Greatest Night Ever podcast.

 "I love love as well," she said. "I've always been such a believer in it, and I always wanted the fairy tale. That's what I grew up loving. And my parents have been together for over, like, 30 years. So for me, it was always about that love, finding a partner and all that. So, I'm really happy I did. But you know, I made that choice. It made me happy. And I love Taika. Shout-out to Taika!"
