Rita Ora displayed her impressively toned and tattooed physique while enjoying a beach day during her sun-drenched trip to Sydney, Australia, on Monday. The 35-year-old singer took to Instagram to share a series of sizzling bikini photos, posing confidently in a selection of tiny two-piece swimsuits.
Stylish Beach Looks and Celebrity Encounters
First, Rita stunned in a stylish black bikini, which she paired with oversized sunglasses, before changing into an equally skimpy red two-piece. The pop star frolicked on the sand to top up her tan and relaxed on rocks as waves gently lapped at her feet.
Rita was accompanied on the trip by her husband, filmmaker Taika Waititi, 50. Together, they met up with actor Taron Egerton before heading to watch their friend Ed Sheeran perform on Valentine's Day at Sydney's Accor Stadium.
Social Media Caption and Upcoming Engagements
She captioned her Instagram post: 'We had a time, bops, shops, desserts…and love. Thank you Sydney for another unforgettable trip. See you soon. You all know how much I love Australia and seeing my mate @teddysphotos smash it on valentines days was just the icing on the cake!'
This beach outing followed Rita's arrival at Sydney Airport last week ahead of planned appearances at two high-profile events. She presented an award at the Vogue Forces of Fashion and will perform at the Formula 1 Grand Prix 2026 in Melbourne this March, with Taika offering support.
Insights into Family Life and Marriage
Rita recently opened up about experiencing a 'real eye opener' after becoming a stepmother to her husband's children. After marrying four years ago, she became stepmother to his daughters Te Kāinga o te Hinekāhu, 13, and Matewa Kiritapu, nine.
Last year, Rita shared rare insights into her marriage to Taika, crediting their strong friendship as the key to their romantic relationship. She told a publication: 'Taika and I are basically just best friends and we wanted to just live in that element forever, I guess.'
Wedding Details and Relationship Background
The couple wed in a secret ceremony in August 2022, with Rita bucking tradition by proposing. Their low-key Los Angeles wedding wasn't confirmed until a year later, which Rita described to Grazia as something they 'winged with zero planning'.
After what she called her 'messy twenties' without the right relationship, Rita said that getting together with Taika felt 'right and safe'. They started dating in March 2021 and went public with their romance that August, having been close friends for five years prior.
Perspectives on Stepmotherhood
In a rare comment on her family life, Rita discussed how being a stepmother changed her worldview. Speaking to The Sun, she said she finds the role 'easy' but confessed it helped her understand there's more to life than immediate concerns.
She explained: 'It's really easy. We wake up, we work out together with the kids running on the treadmills, it's a family affair. I have to say it's been a real eye-opener to understand that sometimes there's more to life than what you care about in that moment. I've realised there's so much more, so [becoming a stepmother] did give me that.'
Film director Taika shares his two children with ex-wife Chelsea Winstanley, also 50, from whom he split in 2018 after seven years of marriage.
