Rita Ora and Taika Waititi snuggle up with Tessa Thompson over cosy drinks in Australia
Rita Ora and Taika Waititi care not about hiding their romance as they were photographed snuggling up alongside Thor’s Tessa Thompson, as the three caught up over drinks in Sydney.
In pictures obtained by Mail Online, Taika and Rita can be seen appearing to lean in for a peck while sharing a cosy drink with Dear White People star Tessa, who is appearing in Taika’s next Thor movie Love and Thunder as Valkyrie.
At one point the director, 45, throws his arms around the Anywhere singer, 30, as well as Tessa, with all three of them sporting big smiles as they clearly enjoy their time together.
Further pics show the trio, all sporting stylish sunglasses, sharing a laugh while hanging out al fresco, with Tessa leaning into Taika’s chest.
If we were as loaded and beautiful as these three we’d be laughing it up too.
Rita and Marvel director Taika were first linked in April following an up close and personal Instagram photo which sent fans into meltdown, and have been spotted out several times together since.
According to reports, they have taken their relationship up several notches and are now living together in Sydney.
A piece in the The Sydney Morning Herald’s Private Sydney column claims she has ‘moved in’ to the beach home he has been staying.
As Taika gets to work on his next blockbuster, Rita is Down Under to work as a coach on the Australian version of The Voice.
Of course the pair have kept schtum on the romance rumours publicly but have been spotted on several intimate dates, including this one.
The pop star previously split from her boyfriend Roman Gavras after they apparently grew apart in lockdown.
However a source told The Sun they will ‘remain a close team’ despite the break up.
Stars currently in Oz for Love and Thunder also include star Chris Hemsworth, who plays the titular god of thunder, and reportedly Matt Damon, who has been spotted chilling with the locals in the tiny Australian country town of Jugiong.
