Let\u2019s check in on one of pop culture\u2019s more random couples, Taika Waititi and Rita Ora. They\u2019ve been married since 2022, but lately it seems they\u2019re being photographed less than they were earlier in their relationship. Let\u2019s examine the evidence, starting with the most recent photos of Taika at the Chateau Marmont over the weekend with Rachel Forman. This got me wondering about the state of Taika-and-Rita.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, Rachel Forman has known Taika Waititi a long time, she appeared in his 2007 directorial debut, Eagle vs Shark<\/em>. She will also appear in his upcoming film Klara and the Sun<\/em>, for which she is also a co-producer. So, there\u2019s no immediate reason to assume the worst, these are two longtime friends having a night out. Rita Ora, meanwhile, performed at the Isle of Wight Festival over the weekend. The reality of celebrity couples is that sometimes your jobs take you away from each other.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But I did look up the last time Taika and Rita were seen together. They were in Beverly Hills<\/a> at the end of February. A week later they visited Lewis Hamilton at the Scuderia Ferrari garage for the Australian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n That was the first weekend of March. It is now the second to last weekend of June, just over three months later. These are just some facts and figures to know. Like I\u2019m not saying anything is going on! Rita is performing during summer festival season, Taika\u2019s got a movie due later this year, one which will almost certainly feature in the fall festival season, he\u2019ll be occupied with finalizing Klara and the Sun<\/em> right now. (They are also both executive producers on the documentary Jail Time Records<\/em><\/a>, making the festival rounds now.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n They\u2019re busy! I\u2019m not saying there\u2019s cause for concern! I\u2019m just saying I saw photos of Taika Waititi and realized I hadn\u2019t seen him and Rita in a minute, and when I did the math, it\u2019s been over three months since they were photographed together. Lots of perfectly valid reasons for that! But also, these are some numbers to remember.<\/p>\n Taika Waititi seen leaving the Chateau Marmont Hotel with actress Rachel Forman in Los Angeles, June 20, 2026\/Rita Ora performs at Isle of Wight Festival, June 20, 2026<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/storage.ghost.io\/c\/7e\/6e\/7e6e3b5c-d911-4df2-9db3-413ceb2beb4c\/content\/images\/2026\/06\/taika-rita-22jun26-0009.jpg\")
