She has finally confirmed her blossoming romance with musician Andrew Watt by going ‘Instagram official’ on Tuesday.
Yet Rita Ora came over shy when she made a rare public appearance with her casually-clad boyfriend at Heathrow Airport in London on Friday.
The singer, 27, covered her pretty face with her wool scarf and donned a quirky hat as she sashayed through the terminal with her long-term lover just days after becoming embroiled in a scandal by posing with partnered Conor McGregor.

Famed for her racy stage image and quirky ensembles, the Anywhere hitmaker looked worlds away from her trademark image in Playboy sweatpants and a hoodie.

Meanwhile, her beau was dressed in his holiday gear as he donned a pair of lime green sunglasses and pants featuring a tropical design of palm trees and beaches.
The lovebirds have been rumoured to have been dating for more than a year.

Earlier this week, Rita uploaded a black-and-white snapshot of herself posing with a hand affectionate on the rocker’s arm at Monday night’s glitzy event London.
Going ‘Instagram official’, the beauty captioned it: ‘Last night,’ flanked by a pair of love hearts.
Despite the pair having been spotted enjoying a romantic getaway to Rome in October of last year, Rita has stayed silent about their relationship and had notably kept him away from her social media accounts until Tuesday night.
And a source told MailOnline: ‘Rita has kept her relationship with him very private and out of the spotlight… This is the first time she has posted anything about him.’
Her low-key Instagram revelation came hours after Jane Park, who found fame after scooping £1million on a EuroMillions lucky dip ticket, hit out after Rita was seen cosying up to UFC-fighter-turned-boxer Conor in a snap she captioned ‘date night’.

Conor, 29, has been with partner Dee Devlin for over nine years and the couple welcomed their first child together, Conor Jack McGregor Jr., in May.
Rita was the target of a venomous attack on Tuesday, as EuroMillions winner Jane Park branded her a ‘w***e’ for posing with Conor at the Fashion Awards.
Jane tweeted: ‘Rita ora is… doing something to stay relevant, just worded it different to cause a uproar. Actual w***e a hope dee gives her a round kick knock out.’
A spokesman for Rita has insisted the ‘date night’ term was in reference to the night as a whole.

But that has not stopped others criticising both her and Irishman Conor online.
One follower wrote to Conor: ‘You’ve got a fine Irish steak at home mate. No need to ruin it with a McDonald’s,’ one fan tweeted.
Another aimed at Rita: ‘Date night with a married man?’ while one added: ‘That’s lovely for his partner and mother of his child, have a bit of respect maybe?’

Singer Rita has been linked to a host of celebrities since becoming famous, including Rob Kardashian, Calvin Harris, Tommy Hilfiger’s son Ricky Hil and James Arthur, who recently gushed about their sex life in his new book.
Jane, 22, was so young when she won in 2013 they had to put Irn Bru in her champagne flute for the press photo shoot after the win.
