“You keep me together in moments I don’t think I can. Thank you for showing me what love really is,” she wrote inan Instagram post, which included a series of photos and videos.
“Here’s to many more moments of me stealing your jokes and telling them 10x louder so people think I’m the funny one,” she continued. “I LOVE YOU 🥹🥰.”
Ora shared a few solo photos of her husband, including one featuring him making a silly face with his tongue out and another showing him sitting in a restaurant with a sweatshirt embroidered with the words “Dirty Dog.”
The performer also included a more serious image of the pair hard at work, reviewing scripts — perhaps Waititi’s next project — as well as an elevator selfie capturing the New Zealand-born filmmaker kissing Ora on the neck.

“I was like, ‘Listen dude, I got married yesterday. I’m very hungover, but I think we should write the ultimate wedding song,’” Ora exclusively told PEOPLE, recalling a conversation with producer Cirkut.
She mined private journal entries and even used real voicemails between her and Waititi in creating the songs for the album, which dropped on July 14. According to Ora, her Oscar-winning spouse was all for her sharing their love story with the world through her music.
“I was like, ‘I think it’d be cool to really give people an insight into our lives,'” Ora told PEOPLE. “And he was like, ‘Go for it.”
“I love bouncing ideas with him. It’s really cool and easy, and he’s got really great perspective and taste,” she said, calling Waititi her “biggest supporter and advocate.”
