TAIKA & RITA ON THE ROCKS?

While their showbiz romance has weathered the tricky long-distance storm for over a year now, Taika Waititi and Rita Ora have been rocked by allegations of infidelity.

According to cheeky US-based gossip site Deuxmoi, an eagle-eyed fan apparently spotted the Kiwi director, 46, “cosying up” to a mystery woman as he was travelling around Aotearoa with his two daughters, while his songbird girlfriend, 31, was enjoying a holiday in Hawaii.

Submitted by a member of the public without photos, making it difficult to verify, the post went out to Deuxmoi’s 1.4 million followers, many of whom hoped it was simply a case of mistaken identity.

Taika and Rita were last seen together in public at a post-Oscars party in March.
