Rita Ora and Taika Waititi are set to host the MTV EMAs together, and it seems they’re cementing their status as a bit of a power couple.
The couple, who reportedly tied the knot earlier this year, have kept their romance pretty private – but now they’re stepping into the spotlight together.
Popstar Rita, 31, and director Taika, 47, will co-host the awards show live from Düsseldorf, Germany, at the PSD Bank Dome on November 13.
They said in a joint statement: ‘We’re excited to host this year’s MTV EMAs and celebrate the best musicians and performances from around the world.
‘We look forward to sharing the evening with all of these talented artists.’
Rita, who previously hosted the EMAs in 2017: ‘I’m thrilled to be back hosting, and sharing the stage with Taika makes it all the more special.
‘We’ve got it all at this year’s EMAs, fun surprises, fantastic fashion, comedy, and above all amazing music! We can’t wait for audiences to share these moments with us.’

The EMAs will be broadcast in more than 170 countries.
Rita and Taika have never confirmed rumours they’ve tied the knot.
The pair had reportedly become engaged in June – though neither confirmed their engagement publicly – and Taika was pictured wearing what looked suspiciously like a wedding band.
A close friend of Rita’s later took to Instagram to seemingly confirm the news, congratulating the new ‘Mrs Waititi Ora.’

A source also told The Sun that the chart-topper and Thor: Love and Thunder director were married in London in a ‘really intimate ceremony’ which was ‘super special for everyone there.’
They added: ‘Their nearest and dearest can see how madly in love they are.’
Rita and Taika have been linked since March 2021, but at first kept their relationship tightly under wraps.
The couple have known each other since at least 2018, and went public with their relationship in April 2021.
They made their red carpet debut that August as they cuddled up at the premiere of The Suicide Squad in Los Angeles.
Rita has not often spoken out on the romance, but previously said she’s in a ‘great place’ with her love life.
The MTV EMAs will be held on will be held on November 13, 2022.
