Are Rita Ora, Tessa Thompson and Taika Waititi in a relationship?
Now, if you’re wondering, “What an interesting question,” that means you’ve missed out on a great story. Before Waititi and Ora’s relationship had been officially acknowledged by them both, the twosome found themselves involved in quite the alleged threesome. In May 2021, The Daily Mail posted pictures of Ora, Waititi and Thor: Ragnarok star Tessa Thompson engaged in a three-way kiss. The steamy smooch reportedly took place after an all night party at Waititi’s Sydney home. The three looked cozy together as they cuddled and laughed. Following the pictures circulating widely, Waititi was reportedly reprimanded by Marvel, who felt the behavior did not fit the image of the studio. However, Waititi responded to the controversy by simply saying, “I was doing nothing wrong.” As for whether Ora, Thompson and Waititi are a part of a throuple? It would appear not. Ora and Waititi are apparently in a committed relationship with each other, while Thompson has been linked to a few notable names herself, including singer-actress Janelle Monae—but if the couple ever needs a third for a game night, I’m sure they know who to call.
