Everything You Need to Know About Matewa Kiritapu, Film Producer Taika Waititi’s Daughter
Matewa Kiritapu is a celebrity child, the daughter of New Zealand film producers Chelsea Winstanley and Taika Waititi. The power couple had their daughter when they were together between 2011 and 2018. Matewa has an older sister named Te Hinekahu. The two are close, and Te has been the best big sister Matewa could ask for.
Early Life and Other Interests
Matewa has lived all her life in New Zealand. However, one thing that she has done more than any child is that she has been to many films due to her father’s nature of work. While talking in a podcast, Matewa’s father mentioned that her children have been to every film he has worked on. This has exposed them to many celebrities and opened doors for various opportunities.
Given her father’s exposure to the entertainment industry, Matewa has been introduced into the acting industry. She is a child actress, and she has appeared in two films so far: Thor: Love and Thunder and Our Flag Means Death.
Matewa began her acting career at a tender age, and hopefully, she will have a great career, just as her parents have had great careers as film producers.
His Parents
Matewa’s parents have not been so open about how they met. However, given that they are both film producers, they must have met through their professional careers. The two walked down the aisle in 2011, and they really loved each other. Two years later, after their marriage, the power couple welcomed their first child together, Te Hinekahu. Then, they had their second child, Matewa, three years later.
Their lives were all good, but then they began having marital issues. Their marriage could not work mainly due to their demanding jobs, and as such, they decided to go their separate ways. Since their separation in 2018, the two have been co-parenting while ensuring that their two daughters got the best from both.
After their parents’ divorce, Matewa’s father remarried. He met American singer Rita Ora in the early 2020s and were dating until they exchanged their wedding vows in 2022. On the other hand, her mother has not been married, but she is probably in a secret relationship.
Relationship with Her Stepmother
Matewa Kiritapu has a great relationship with her stepmother, Rita Ora. While talking to Jessie and Lennie Were of the podcast Table Manners, Rita Ora noted that she was like a fairy godmother to Matewa and her older sister Te. She noted that she spoils them and buys them anything that they may need.
When asked how it is being their stepmother, Rita Ora just said, “I love it.” She has been a great stepmother to the two kids, and they love her.
Her Father’s Career
Matewa’s father has had a great career. He has produced several films and has received many accolades, including a Grammy Award, an Academy Award, and a BAFTA Award. Additionally, he was on the list of the top 100 most influential people in the world in 2022.
