A pal said: “This isn’t about them doing a big showy thing and crowing about it beforehand. It’s just about them being in love and deciding the time is right to formalise their relationship.

“They couldn’t be happier.”

Pop star and actress Rita is currently working on several film projects and is also a coach on The Voice Australia.

Meanwhile, New Zealander Taika is planning a string of movies, including a new addition to the Star Wars franchise.

The imminent nuptials are set to take place as soon as their work commitments end.

The pal adds: “They didn’t do a whole, ‘Will you marry me?’ thing and an Instagram post.

“There’s no ring or big build-up. They just got closer and closer and eventually said to each other almost simultaneously, ‘I want to marry you’.

“It’s actually really romantic and just exactly the way they are together.

“So the plan is to marry abroad, as soon as their respective projects end, with their closest friends and family around them.

“And then there will be a big celebration in London at a later stage, when they get the chance, with all their famous friends there.

“But for now it’s about getting down the aisle and making things official.

“There are a few details to iron out, but it’s coming soon and it’ll be beautifully intimate and perfectly them.”
