Rita Ora reveals the 'best advice' she ever got
"It was actually the best advice, because now I'm in my mid-thirties - Rita Ora"

Los Angeles, March 10

British actress Rita Ora has shared the best advice that she has ever received. The actress said that being told to freeze her eggs in her 20s was "the best advice".

The 35-year-old actress, who was 24 when she first froze her eggs, before doing it again three years later, has recalled how "everyone went mad" at the time, but "now everyone's doing it", reports 'Female First UK'.

She told Women's Health magazine, "(Back then) a doctor told me it was a really good time to preserve the best quality (eggs). It was actually the best advice, because now I'm in my mid-thirties and I have a lot of friends really trying to figure it out".

"It will just be more of an expansion when the time comes. Davina (McCall) is always like, 'Hurry up, you can do it'", she added.

As per 'Female First UK', Rita is stepmother to husband Taika Waititi's children Te Kainga o te Hinekahu, 13, and Matewa Kiritapu, 9, and she is delighted with her role.

She said, "I don't know if anything really prepares you, you just have to figure it out in the moment. I've loved every second, the girls are just a dream. I think I got very lucky. We have a lot of fun, doing nails, going shopping. I love hanging out with them".

Rita recently revealed that being a stepmother has changed her perspective on life. Rita told The Sun newspaper, "It's really easy. We wake up, we work out together with the kids running on the treadmills. It's a family affair. I have to say it's been a real eye-opener to understand that sometimes there's more to life than what you care about in that moment. I've realised there's so much more, so (becoming a stepmum) did give me that".

The singer and actress, who also works as a judge on 'The Masked Singer', is always excited to learn new skills, and she hopes to empower future generations.

While I understand the personal choice, we must also acknowledge this is a very privileged option. The cost of egg freezing is prohibitively high for most people in India. The conversation should also be about making such reproductive healthcare accessible and affordable.

It's heartwarming to read about her positive experience as a stepmother. Family isn't always about biology. She seems to have embraced her role with so much love. ❤️

Interesting perspective. In our culture, family planning discussions are still very hush-hush. Maybe celebrities talking about it will help normalize these conversations for the next generation. Good for her for planning ahead.

"There's more to life than what you care about in that moment" – that line about being a stepmum really hit home. It's a beautiful lesson in shifting focus from self to family. Wishing them all the best!
