Rita Ora has revealed that freezing her eggs in her twenties turned out to be one of the most valuable pieces of advice she ever received. The 35-year-old singer and actress said she first chose to preserve her eggs at the age of 24, later repeating the procedure three years later, after a doctor recommended it as the ideal time to protect fertility.
At the time, the decision raised eyebrows among people around her. However, Ora believes attitudes toward fertility preservation have shifted significantly since then.
“A doctor told me it was a really good time to preserve the best quality eggs,” she explained in an interview with Women's Health UK. “Back then everyone went mad about it, but now everyone’s doing it.”
Ora, who married filmmaker Taika Waititi in 2022, says her life today includes an unexpected but rewarding role as a stepmother to his two daughters. She has spoken warmly about how much she enjoys spending time with them and learning as she goes.
“I don’t know if anything really prepares you — you just figure it out in the moment,” she said. “I’ve loved every second. The girls are just a dream. We have so much fun doing nails, going shopping and just hanging out together.”
The singer has also been open about her hopes for the future. Although she has already taken steps to preserve her fertility, Ora has previously said she has always imagined having a large family of her own one day.
Beyond family life, the pop star has become increasingly focused on her health and fitness. She explained that turning 30 marked a turning point that prompted her to rethink how she treated her body, especially with the physical demands of performing on stage.
“When you turn 30 something just goes — it literally happens overnight,” she admitted. “I noticed my consistency on stage was getting weaker and I thought, ‘That’s strange.’ I realised I had to start treating my body like an athlete.”
The change led Ora to adopt a more disciplined routine focused on strength, stamina and overall wellbeing. Her motivation initially came from wanting to avoid getting sick while touring and to maintain her performance levels.
Outside of music, Ora continues to expand her career in television and film. She also works as a judge on The Masked Singer, while speaking openly about issues affecting women — from health and menopause awareness to equality in the workplace.
“Women supporting women should just feel natural and normal,” she said previously. “I want to keep that energy going for the next generation.”
