Rita Ora Finally Clarifies That Spicy Rumor Involving Tessa Thompson

Can’t three friends just cuddle (and kiss) in the spirit of platonic fun? In a GQ Hype cover story published January 23, Rita Ora detailed how her now-husband, Taika Waititi, and Tessa Thompson ended up looking so cozy in the famous May 2021 photos. With Waititi and Thompson both filming “Thor: Love and Thunder” in Australia at the time, Ora explained the three just wanted to blow off some steam. “Literally, that was just a bunch of friends having a good time,” the “Let Me Love You” singer said. “They [Taika and Tessa] had a crazy schedule and everyone was letting loose. I love that. Each to their own.”

Adding that she put off addressing the “throuple” rumors because “you don’t want to put energy towards something that’s nonexistent,” Ora is glad one positive came out of the media hoopla surrounding the viral pics. “When I was on Twitter talking to my fans, all of my incredible LGBTQIA+ fanbases were like, actually — whether this is true or not — I’m so inspired that this is being normalized publicly,” Ora recalled. Although nothing romantic may have happened between her and Thompson, Ora seemingly came out as bisexual in her 2018 single, “Girls,” reportedly inspired by her relationship with Cara Delevingne, per Page Six. As for Thompson, she confirmed to Porter magazine in June 2018 that she was “attracted to men and also to women.”
