POP star, actress and entrepreneur – over the years, Rita Ora has nailed all these roles. But her mother Vera thinks the beauty could soon be ready to become a mum as well. In her first newspaper interview, the Kosovan-born psychiatrist lifts the lid on the close relationship she has with her 34-year-old daughter.

Vera, 63, revealed: “Rita will definitely be a good mum. She had a good example with me. I think she loves children, so hopefully one day soon I’ll be a grandmother.”. Mum Vera and her husband Nik, a pub owner, are also parents to Elena, 36, and Don, 27.

Vera said: “I’ve always had a close relationship with Rita, as I do with my other daughter and son. “We are a tight-knit family and I am so proud of that. We are open and feel like we can talk about anything together. “Being a psychiatrist is, obviously, a separate job to being a mum, and I try to keep that way.

“However, it does help to keep my children grounded. “We do talk about the cases and some of the unfortunate situations people can find themselves. So I feel it’s like a lesson to them to see both sides and stay down to earth.”. Two years ago, Rita — whose movie credits include the Fifty Shades Of Grey trilogy — married New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi, 49, a love match that Vera fully approves of.

She said: “We absolutely love Taika. He’s always so happy and funny, making everyone around him laugh. “We love that. He seems to make Rita very happy, which is really nice. It’s so nice to see her smiling. That’s the most important thing for us.
