According to The Sun, who first broke the news, filmmaker Taika Waititi and singer Rita Ora have said “I do” in an intimate ceremony in London.
The showbiz couple had been dating for a year and a half after growing close while Rita was in Australia working as a coach on TV singing show ‘The Voice’, with rumours of them getting engaged having circulated in recent months.
Engagement and wedding ring specialists at UK retailer Steven Stone have revealed everything you need to know about the couple’s wedding bands.
Rita sparked rumours when she shared a photo drop from a recent getaway in Paris to her Instagram, in which she can be seen flashing a gold wedding band on her ring finger.
Taika has also been seen sporting gold jewellery on his ring finger on an Instagram snap shared by Rita’s sister, Elena. Rita uploaded the same shot to her Instagram, but the singer tellingly covered Taika’s hand with her caption.
“We love nothing more than seeing celebrity engagement and wedding rings, so after months of rumours that Taika and Rita were due to be wed, we’re ecstatic that they’ve tied the knot and we can have a good look at what’s on their ring fingers!
The showbiz couple have opted for matching plain yellow gold chunky wedding bands. Gold is the most popular wedding ring and engagement ring metal. Representing eternal love and promise, it’s always a sentimental choice.
With an estimated value of £700, Rita’s wedding band is likely to be an 18 carat 4mm heavy weight wedding ring. Taika’s looks to be 5mm and is worth the higher price of £1000.”
