Rita Ora had a 'tiff' with her director husband Taika Waititi on set of music video

Rita Ora revealed a tense moment on set where she had a "tiff" with her husband Taika Waititi.

The 32-year-old showed off her stunning emerald wedding ring during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon earlier this year.

They had gone public with their relationship in April 2021 and they were rumoured to have had their nuptials in August 2022 after a secret engagement.

In a rare instance, Rita opened up about her marriage to Taika, a topic which the pair normally keep under wraps.

Rita started by sharing some of the warnings she had heard from people telling her not to "work with the ones you love."

She told hosts Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on Heart Breakfast: "Everyone said ‘Don’t do it, don’t work with the ones you love, it never works out’, and I thought why not, you know what, I really respect him.

"I really admire his creative contribution and we came up with a fun, not serious video, a bit like the original, just like a random dance party, that’s what this it," she said.

Jamie quizzed Rita on whether there was tension on the set, asking: "Was there no tension, did you not argue about how things should be done?"

"The only thing we had a tiff about was about me being late on set because my make up wasn’t going right," Rita replied.

"He was like “Hurry up, we’re losing light, we’re losing light”! I was like “I’m sorry!”

Amanda gave her insight on the situation, saying: "Probably another director wouldn’t be able to say that to you right."

Rita has previously revealed that although their romance seems like a whirlwind, the pair knew each other for around six years before taking things to the next level.

She told Drew Barrymore on her chat show that things just "collided" for the couple and their blossoming relationship.

"I don't even know how to explain. Everything just went . . ." she told Drew, motioning her hands colliding with one another. "It genuinely just went like that," she said, snapping her fingers.

"I mean, honestly, he put his hand on my back and then — low back — and that's when I knew, this is a different type of stroke."

Rita continued: "I can't believe I can say it. It's so interesting to me because I loved the whole experience but I kept it super private for a little bit, just kept it to myself. So it's nice to share it and just be open about it. It feels great."
