Kiwi director Taika Waititi and British singer Rita Ora pack on the PDA as they are pictured together for the first time as a couple in Sydney

She was first romantically linked to the Oscar-winning screenwriter last month. 

And Rita Ora has been pictured for the first time with her new beau Taika Waititi, during a PDA-packed outing in Sydney.

At one point the 45-year-old New Zealander kissed the hand of his 30-year-old pop star companion.

Rita and the Thor director first sparked romance rumours after they stepped out together at the Stan’s RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under premiere at the Sydney Opera House.

They avoided being photographed on the Opera House red carpet together, and appeared decidedly coy when they were spotted sneaking into the venue.

Once inside the venue, Daily Mail Australia revealed the pair took their seats side by side at the front of the audience.

Rita recently sent fans into a frenzy when she took to Instagram last month to share a cosy photo showing Taika hugging her as she posed for the camera.
