Rita Ora 'never stopped loving Calvin Harris'

Rita Ora apparently has her sights set on ex Calvin Harris now he's single again.

The How We Do singer and Scottish DJ dated for just over a year until June 2014, when the couple had a nasty split. Until recently Calvin was in a relationship with pop star Taylor Swift, but the pair announced their breakup at the beginning of June (16). This has apparently left Rita feeling hopeful.

"Rita has never stopped loving Calvin and felt he was hasty splitting up with her and was always swayed by gossip rather than facts," a source told Britain's Look magazine. "She thinks he only dated Taylor Swift because he was on the rebound from her and wants to remind him of everything they had together..."

Another insider backs this up, adding that Rita and Calvin were extremely similar and the British beauty misses their bond. As well as having "crazy chemistry", the anonymous pal recalls how they were also good friends who would often hang out together.

And it seems Rita anticipated her former flame's latest relationship ending.

"Rita knew things were going downhill for (Calvin and Taylor)," the first sourced added. "She wasn't surprised when they broke up. She knows the fame game winds him up and that he must have found that life difficult."

While Rita, 25, may have predicted the parting, fans were left shocked when rumours surfaced. Calvin, 32, and 26-year-old Taylor celebrated their one year anniversary in March (16) and shared a series of loved-up snaps from their romantic break at the time.

However, Calvin confirmed the claims he was single with a post on Twitter, which Taylor also shared, but didn't add her own comments to.

"The only truth here is that a relationship came to an end & what remains is a huge amount of love and respect," the DJ wrote.
