Taika Waititi, 46, is known for often making groundbreaking movies behind the camera, but a year ago, he stepped into a big spotlight when he started dating Rita Ora, 31. The filmmaker is now reportedly married to the singer after they recently gave each other almost “simultaneous” proposals, and then had a super-intimate secret ceremony in London, according to a source for The Sun. “It was a really intimate ceremony and super special for everyone there,” the source reportedly told the outlet. “Their nearest and dearest can see how madly in love they are.”

A previous source told the UK Sun that it would be low-key. “This isn’t about them doing a big showy thing and crowing about it beforehand,” the source said in separate comments. “It’s just about them being in love and deciding the time is right to formalize their relationship. They couldn’t be happier.”
