The juicy deets of the duo's love story remains a mystery still, but a close probe into their work schedule suggests the pair met in the land down under Australia.

A look at Rita Ora's dating history!
As the 31-year-old settled down with the cinematic genius, here's a look back at all the stars Ora has romanced in the past. Before rising to stardom with DJ Fresh's 2011 single Hot Right Now, Ora dated fellow singer Bruno Mars, who she describes as the "world's greatest guy." "He was a struggling songwriter hired to write songs for me. I thought: 'Wow, that's just the world's greatest guy," Ora says.

After separating from Mars in 2011, Rita famously but briefly dated Rob Kardashian. "It was very short-lived. I was so young. It was great. It was fun. It was very, very fun, I guess. That's all I remember," said the Brit while struggling to recall her brief romance with Kardashian. Who doesn't remember Ora's relationship or the flirtatious phase with Canadian singer Drake in 2012.
Rita's husband, Taika, has been married once before and has two daughters with his ex-wife.

The Voice judge dated Calvin Harris for a year in 2013. The Let You Love Me moved on with Tommy Hilfiger's son, Ricky Hill, following her split from Harris, but even that ship sank within a year. The singer-turned-actress was last in a high-profile yet brief relationship with Oscar-nominated Andrew Garfield.

If you think Ora's string of one-year romances doesn't qualify to be called relationships, wait till you see the singer's list of flings. Ora has had very brief moments with drummer Travis Barker, rapper A$AP Rocky, Chris Brown, and Lewis Hamilton. As for Rita's now-husband, Taika, the New Zealand-born filmmaker, was previously married to Chelsea Winstanley, with whom he shares two daughters.
