Alongside the snaps, she penned: ‘My heart. I love you. ❤️’   

The couple wed in a secret ceremony in August 2022, after Rita bucked tradition and popped the question.

Their low-key Los Angeles ceremony wasn’t confirmed by the couple until a year later, which Rita told Grazia they ‘winged with zero planning’.

After years of not being in the right relationship during her ‘messy twenties’, Rita said that when she got together with Taika it felt ‘right and safe’.

Reflecting on her past, she told the publication last year: ‘My love life has been colourful, to say the least. But how wicked is it that we can make those choices for ourselves?.

She added: I was groggy all the time [during her twenties]. I wanted to feel awake and that my brain was switched on. 

Rita continued: ‘What makes me go ‘urgh’ is when people pour so much responsibility into somebody else to make themselves feel how they want to feel. 

‘That’s a disaster, a car crash. You’ll always be unsatisfied, I was that person.’
