Rita Ora has opened up about her role as stepmother to her husband Taika Waititi ’s children. The pop star recently appeared on the podcast Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware and spoke about her life going back and forth from LA and New Zealand, where the couple bought a $10.5 million home in Point Chevalier last year .
During the chat, Ora described herself as a “fairy godmother” to Waititi’s daughters Matewa Kiritapu and Te Hinekāhu, reports the Mirror UK . Asked what it’s like spending time with her husband’s children, Ora gushed, “I love it.” “It just feels really cool because it’s like I’m just the fairy godmother [who] doesn’t actually really have any responsibility.
I break all the rules, I buy them anything they want - it’s the best.” During the interview, she also spoke of living in New Zealand, describing the Kiwi lifestyle as a “game-changer” and the country as having become a “home away from home” since her marriage to the award-winning director in August 2022. “You know, half of my family and his kids go to school in New Zealand and so, yeah, we’re always there,” she shared.
“[In] Auckland, we have a place literally on the water. It’s really nice. I feel like New Zealand is obviously so far, if you make an effort to get there, it’s a game-changer.
” Te Hinekāhu, 11, and Matewa Kiritapu, 8, whom Waititi shares with his ex-wife Chelsea Winstanley, live in New Zealand fulltime. Last year, Waititi spoke abou.
