Rita Ora has revealed she used to date US singer Bruno Mars before the two became famous in the pop industry. Rita told German magazine Bravo this week:

“We met in 2009 I was 18 and starting out at Roc Nation, Bruno was unknown back then too, he was a struggling songwriter hired to write songs for me, I thought, ‘Wow, that’s just the world’s greatest guy! It was love at first sight, such a great experience, Our time together was wonderful, but once we got famous, work got in the way, “We ended it last year. But we remained close. And when we were together we were so happy.”
