Last week, the Body On Me singer posted a photo of Taika wrapping his arms around her as they wore complementing Gucci garments.
The snap sent tongues wagging, as fans speculated the pair could be an item and suggested Rita might have a cameo in his forthcoming movie.
In the snap, 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.
The rumoured couple were spotted exiting a private jet with Chris Hemsworth, his wife Elsa and Matt Damon in Sydney recently, following a trip to the Gold Coast.
The Hollywood movie hunks are staying Down Under to shoot scenes for Taika’s Thor Love and Thunder film in addition to Russell Crowe, who was seen on a bike ride with Rita last week.

MailOnline have reached out to Rita and Taika’s reps for comment.
It is believed that Taika split from his wife, Chelsea Winstanley, in 2018 following seven years of marriage. They share two daughters, Te Hinekāhu, eight, and Matewa Kiritapu, five.
His war drama, Jojo Rabbit, won the respective Oscar and BAFTA Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Meanwhile Rita is currently staying Down Under to film the upcoming series of The Voice Australia.
The songstress transitioned into acting with films such as 50 Shades Of Grey and Southpaw.
She’s had several high-profile relationships and was previously linked to Calvin Harris, Rob Kardashian and James Arthur.
Rita became engaged to Romain, 39, in 2020 and was last pictured with him in November.
It was confirmed to MailOnline in March that the couple are officially no longer together – and broke up before Christmas.

A spokeswoman for Romain revealed the relationship had been over for ‘months’, saying: ‘Rita and Romain split up months ago because of difficulties with their respective work commitments. They remain close friends.’
Rita and Romain went their separate ways weeks after her Covid rule breaking 30th birthday party at a Notting Hill restaurant on November 21.
The French director, who is based in London and directed music videos for US rappers Kanye West and Jay Z, began dating Rita following her split from songwriter boyfriend Andrew Watt in 2019.
The pair enjoyed a whirlwind romance during their brief relationship with exotic holidays in Ibiza and Corfu.
Last October, the pair sparked engagement rumours when Rita was seen wearing a huge rock on a her engagement finger.
But a source close to Rita told MailOnline: ‘Rita and Romain tried to make it work but they both agreed it wasn’t meant to be.
‘They remain close but it was simply impossible to maintain a relationship where they barely saw each other.
‘And given both their busy schedules for 2021, the writing was very much on the wall towards the end of last year.’
