Last year, the Ask & You Shall Receive singer thanked the filmmaker for showing her 'what love really is' in an impassioned Instagram post in tribute to her husband of one year.
She wrote: 'Happy birthday to the funnest smartest man I have ever come across in my life.
'You keep me together in moments I don't think I can. Thank you for showing me what love really is.'
The pair initially kept their wedding a secret from the public and did not announce it til last year.
Rita told ES Magazine that her friends were concerned they missed her big day, after she and Taika opted to have just eight guests in attendance for their intimate ceremony.
She said: 'I've been in the public eye for a while now and I've always given everything I'm part of to the public. It felt nice to have something that was a secret for a bit.
'A lot of my friends were like ''Oh my God, we've missed it'.'' I just told them that we will figure something out. It felt chill - because my life is not chill.'
