In the image, Taika sported a cap, partially concealing his identity as Rita penned a revealing caption: ‘Good times, memories, random things on my phone and the ones I love..’ alongside a heart emoji.
It’s also been reported the two stars have been ‘dating for over a month’ while the songstress has been in Sydney filming The Voice.
According to The Sun, Rita and Taika have made no secret they are together among their famous friends and things could be getting serious.

‘They’ve been a couple since early March but kept things low key. However, all their friends know about the relationship. They’re really into each other,’ a source told the publication.
The rumoured couple were also spotted exiting a private jet with Chris Hemsworth, his wife Elsa and Matt Damon in Sydney recently, following a trip to the Gold Coast.
A listener of the Who? Weekly podcast fuelled further romance speculation as they reported seeing the couple kissing inside a restaurant.

Yet on Tuesday morning, the pop star expertly dodged questions about her love life during an appearance on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
At the end of the interview, radio host Kyle Sandilands asked Rita: ‘I know you don’t want to talk to much about this stuff, but are you able to sneak lovers in and out of your joint or are you finding that difficult?’
After a long pause, the Body On Me singer responded carefully: ‘I think for me I’m just focusing on getting fit to be honest.’
