There's so much love and no thunder in Rita Ora and Taika Waititi's marriage.
"We inspire each other," Rita exclusively told Justin Sylvester, Ariana Madix and NeNe Leakes during E!'s After-Party at the 2024 Emmys Sept. 15. "With me coming from music and him being a writer, a director and a filmmaker, it's a house full of ideas. We're both fire signs, too. So it's just fire, fire, fire."
Well, that and some laughs.
"I am the funny one, I just want to let you all know that," the actress, who wore a baby pink Tamara Ralph gown to the award show at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater, joked. "But actually, we help each other out, always."
And she was there to be her husband's biggest cheerleader since he was nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series for Reseveartion Dogs and What We Do in the Shadows as an executive producer on each show. (ICYMI, Hacks took home the trophy.)
"It was an unbelievable show," Rita, who wed Taikia in August 2022, gushed. "It was a fun night. We celebrated, it was cool!"
And inspiring.
"I was walking to this party and I said to Taika, 'This has just made me want to go home and write everything I can think of down right now,'" she explained. "I was so inspired, the acceptance speeches were so inspiring."
"It only takes me five seconds to want to get dressed up, honey," she added. "So, I was ready to go support my man."
And the support goes both ways. After all, Taika has helped her through a discouraging time in her career.
"I spent such a long time fighting to be heard over the course of my experience being in the industry, I lost a lot of confidence and a lot of hope, fell really low," she told Billboard last April. "I guess when you're at your lowest point, you can make a choice. You either kind of get back up and keep going, or you just let it consume you."
"I did that," she continued. "I got up. I flew to Australia to do The Voice over there, and I met somebody who changed me forever. Meeting Taika, who is my husband, I definitely never felt that before, and so I just wrote it all down and I thought, 'Okay, I think it's time to make some music again.' And here we are."
