Their bitter breakup has inspired many of the songs on her upcoming second album. Rita Ora has spoken very candidly about her relationship with superstar DJ Calvin Harris.
The 24-year-old singer revealed: 'It was more of a thing where I was in awe. I was at that point in my relationship where I felt he could do no wrong. I thought he had my back and that he'd never steer me wrong.
Rita's hit track I Will Never Let You Down was written and produced by 31-year-old Harris and released in March 2014, going straight to the number one spot in the UK singles chart. The British songstress added: 'There was a reason why I split up with him. And there was a reason why I'm at this point in my life where I feel like I have so much musical freedom, and I don't have to explain myself to anybody...' Rita, whose relationship with the DJ ended on bad terms in June 2014 after a year long romance, smolders in the latest issue of the women's magazine in a variety of unique and highly-embellished haute couture pieces.Her cropped platinum blonde locks are seen styled slightly tousled for a just-rolled-out-of-bed vibe.
Divulging more about her romantic life, the actress says: 'I'm afraid of being alone. I'm not afraid to admit that, you know. I'm not embarrassed to admit that. I just hope it's not a never-ending cycle. Sometimes love just makes you feel crazy.
Kosovo-born Rita is now dating Ricky Hil, son of American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger.
Harris has moved on to 25-year-old popstrel Taylor Swift. They only stepped out together for the first time in May, but Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are already on the way to becoming the most powerful showbiz couple on the planet. The 25-year-old Shake It Off hit maker and her Glaswegian-born record producer beau, 31, recently topped a Forbes poll of the highest paid pairings, with a combined net worth of £92.8m ($146m). The newly-loved up A-listers eclipsed the wealth of Single Ladies chart topper Beyoncé, 33, and her 45-year-old rapper husband Jay Z, who amassed a mere £70.2m ($110.5m) fortune in 2014.
