Just five months ago she was a national pariah for breaking lockdown rules - now she's living the best life... and ok, yeah, we're jealous.

It's been claimed today that Rita Ora has been dating Oscar-winning director Taika Waititi for over a month - and quite frankly, that was enough to make us really jealous.

Rumours about Rita and Taika have been flying around recently, mostly because she posted a picture of them cuddling on Instagram, tagging him in. So, not massively secret.

Oh, and the caption added 'Good times, memories, random things on my phone and the ones I love.'

The jealousy, look, that's our own thing - and bad, we know. It'll always be hard when someone dates one of your celeb boyfriends.

Taika is the creator and director of lots of cult favourites in recent years, including What We Do In The Shadows and Hunt For The Wilderpeople.

In 2019, he won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for his film, Jojo Rabbit - and has since worked on huge Hollywood blockbusters like Thor: Ragnorok and The Mandalorian.

Anyway, maybe it's just because we love Ricky Baker so much, but he just seems GOOD VIBES and we're not the only ones on the internet who are quite jealous.

Taika reportedly split from wife Chelsea Winstanley quietly in 2018 after seven years of marriage - they have two children.

Anyway, it's not just the dating stuff that's seen the green-eyed monster raise it's head - all the stories about how the pair met and what they've been up to have made us realise that Rita Ora is out there living her best not covid-locked down life.

The singer went to Australia shortly after a covid lockdown-breaking scandal to work as a judge on The Voice Australia.

The 30-year-old singer flew to Egypt for a private performance on 21 November. On her return the following day, she should have isolated for two weeks. Instead she threw a 30th birthday party at Casa Cruz in Notting Hill on November 28 for several guests. Police claimed her team had offered the manager £5,000 to break the lockdown rules then in place. Oh, and she posted an Instagram that was timed to make it look like she was actually at home alone celebrating.

Taika is in Australia filming his next Marvel project, Thor Love and Thunder - and many are now speculating that Rita could have a role in the film.

Which moves us onto the A List parties. Reports of the new romance claim the couple have been hanging out with all the film's stars. Last week Rita was pictured with Taika, 45, Chris Hemsworth, his wife Elsa and Matt Damon exiting a private jet in Sydney after a trip to the Gold Coast, according to The Sun. Uggghhhhh.

Rita and Taika have also been hanging out with Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina - and she's been spotted on bike rides with Russell Crowe.

Meanwhile, we're just chuffed, because we sat in a freezing pub garden last weekend with our friends and got to pop to Zara the next day.

We know, we know, we're terrible people.
