Rita Ora sometimes feels alone in a long-distance relationship.
The 23-year-old singer has been dating DJ Calvin Harris - who has a residency in Las Vegas - for the past year and admits that it can be challenging being away from each another for long periods of time, but insists it can still work if you're both determined to keep it going.
She said: "Long-distance relationships aren't ideal. They're really hard and there are times when you feel as if you're on your own. I think if you really want to make it work, you will. It will just require a lot of patience and a lot of trust. It kind of sucks but sometimes you just have to take the situation for what it is."
Rita is "proud" of Calvin - who was recently listed as the second richest musician under 30 in the UK with an estimated fortune of £30 million - and admits she's never want to stop him from achieving his potential.
She added in an interview with Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I'm so proud of everything he's achieved. He's so successful in his own right and the last thing I want to do is interrupt that and ruin it."

Kerry Katona is determined to lose her baby weight.
The reality star is apparently "desperate" to shed her excess weight after giving birth to baby Dylan-Jorge just six weeks ago, so has adopted a no carb diet in order to reach her target weight.
A source told new! magazine: "She's going back to bootcamp but she doesn't plan a long stay. George [Kay, Kerry's fiancé] is training her in the gym at home too. She wants to be down to 9 stone for the wedding and the christening this summer.
"She's doing a no carb diet, so juices, fruit and yoghurt for breakfast, or scrambled eggs, then salad for lunch and meat and veg for dinner."
Kerry has been working her new routine around being a full-time mum to her children Molly, 12, Lilly-Sue, 11, Heidi, seven, and Max, six, who she raises with her George.
The bubbly blonde has enrolled at GI Jane bootcamp in a bid to get fit fast, but her fans have been supportive of her struggles.
Bashing the cyber bullies, one wrote last week: "She will tone herself up when she feels well enough!"

Harry Styles has realised he can't please everyone.
The One Direction star admits he has developed a thicker skin and no longer cares what most people think about him.
The 'Story of My Life' hitmaker said: "You have to think about people, but you have to look after yourself, too, otherwise you'd drive yourself crazy because you can't please everyone. It doesn't work. There needs to be a point where you step back and do something for yourself. I've decided not to let other people's opinions change what I think."
But the 20-year-old British singer still can't resist reading about himself and his band mates on the Internet.
He told the UK's Very magazine: "I Google [the band]. If there's been something in a paper, I'll Google it to look at the article online."
Meanwhile, the heartthrob was allegedly spotted getting hair extensions during a break from the group's series of sold-out concerts in Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, which will see them play to 250,000 fans in three days.
'Hard Out Here' hitmaker Lily Allen claimed she witnessed Harry having his famous locks enhanced at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Glasgow, Scotland today (24.05.14).
She wrote on Twitter: "Just saw Harry Styles having hair extensions put in #exclusive"

Scarlett Johansson is fed up of being "an object of desire."
The 29-year-old star, who is pregnant with her first child with her French journalist fiancé, Romain Dauriac, plans to embrace the aging process and claims she feels less pressure to look perfect as she gets older.
She said: "I don't want to be the ingénue any more. That part I'm happy about. It's nice to be glamorous, but I don't want to always have to be trendy and glamorous and an object of desire. I don't want to be stuck in that forever. Because it doesn't last."
But Scarlett also told The Weekend Australian magazine that she believes that Hollywood's leading men aren't subjected to as much criticism.
She said: "With [male actors] it just doesn't happen the same way. You can be every woman's fantasy and nobody thinks twice about the fact that you have eight kids or whatever."
The 'Avengers' star previously admitted she hopes that she'll be able to juggle motherhood and her career.
She said: "I want to be able to have it all. Selfishly."
Scarlett, who started her acting career as a child, recently claimed she wouldn't be able to cope with her celebrity status if she had been a teenager now.
She said: "I feel very fortunate that I was able to have a bit of a smoother transition into my young adulthood without having people videotaping me."

Beyoncé Knowles has wished Kim Kardashian and Kanye West "a lifetime of unconditional love" after skipping their wedding.
The 'Drunk in Love' hitmaker and her husband, Jay Z, were noticeably absent from the couple's nuptials at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy today (24.05.14), but took to Instagram in a bid to prove her thoughts were with the newlyweds.
The 32-year-old singer posted a picture of the couple and their 11-month-old daughter, North, from their recent Vogue spread, with the caption: "Wishing you a lifetime of unconditional love. God bless your beautiful family."

Both Kim and Kanye wore custom-made creations by Givenchy, overseen by their good friend Riccardo Tisci, as did baby North, who walked down the aisle with help from her grandmother, Kris Jenner.

A source close to the 35-year-old 'The Wrong Mans' star also told The Mirror newspaper: "James and Julia have loved every minute of becoming parents to their toddler Max and were keen to give him a brother or sister who is close in age. They're delighted to be pregnant again and can't wait to expand the family."

The actor previously admitted that becoming a father had given him a "sense of clarity" in his life.
He explained: "It's given me a great sense of clarity.

Kris Jenner is "bursting with happiness" after Kim Kardashian's wedding.
The Kardashian family matriarch was among the 200 guests on hand to watch her daughter, 33, marry Kanye West, during a "magical" sunset ceremony at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy today (24.05.14).
Speaking shortly afterwards the 58-year-old star said that she is "beyond bursting with happiness for Kim, Kanye and baby North."
She also told E! News: "Such a magical, romantic wedding! I feel blessed to have my new son and his family as part of ours."

The couple, who exchanged vows outdoors in front of a wall of flowers, were serenaded by acclaimed Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli during the ceremony, who performed several of his biggest hits, including 'Con te Partiro.'
The couple's guests broke into applause twice during the ceremony, which was organised by celebrity party planner Sharon Sacks, and Kris was seen wiping away tears in the front row, according to PEOPLE.com.
After the "beaming" couple softly exchanged vows, off-white and gold escort cards, designed by Lehr and Black, directed guests to their seats for dinner along huge engraved marble table.

Jay Z and Beyoncé Knowles didn't attend Kanye West's wedding.
The 'Holy Grail' hitmaker, who was expected to be his close friend and collaborator's best man, reportedly decided to spend the weekend with his wife in The Hamptons, New York, in favour of attending the rapper's nuptials to Kim Kardashian, 33, in Florence, Italy today (24.05.14).
Sources told UsMagazine.com that Jay, 44, bailed on the couple's wedding at the Forte di Belvedere at the last minute, as he wanted to enjoy a quiet Memorial Day holiday weekend with Beyoncé and their two-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy.
Shortly before the extravagant wedding got underway, the 'XO' singer, 32, who is said to have a "frosty" relationship with Kim, also signalled to fans she wouldn't be present, as she posted a make-up free photograph of herself in bed on Instagram.
Jay and Beyoncé's absence came as a surprise, as the rapper has been friends with Kanye, 36, for more than 14 years.
The 'Bound 2' hitmaker first came to prominence on the rap mogul's influential 2001 album 'The Blueprint' and they have collaborated many times since then, including on their album 'Watch The Throne' in 2011, which later saw them embark on a sold-out world tour together.
Jay Z previously admitted he felt like Kanye's big brother.
Asked about their decision to tour together, he said: "It actually was really easy because of the relationship. It's always been a big brother thing and a respect thing."
A small number of celebrities jetted to Italy for the couple's celebrations, including John Legend's model wife Chrissy Teigen, actor Jaden Smith, rappers Tyga and Big Sean, and fashion designer Rachel Roy.
Jay Z's sister-in-law Solange Knowles attacked him in an elevator at the Met Gala after party on May 5 because she reportedly thought he was flirting with Rachel in front of Beyoncé.
P Diddy sent the couple his best via Twitter, writing: "HUGE blessings and congrats to @KanyeWest and @KimKardashian!!! Love is a beautiful thing!!"

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have got married.
The couple, who went public with their relationship in April 2012 and have 11-month-old daughter North, exchanged vows in front of approximately 200 guests during an outdoor sunset ceremony at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy today (24.05.14).
A source told PEOPLE.com that Rich Wilkerson Jr., a pastor from North Miami, performed the ceremony, which was organised by long-time Kardashian family friend and celebrity event planner Sharon Sacks, who also planned Kim's second wedding to Kris Humphries in 2011.
Kanye appeared to be very nervous beforehand, swigging obsessively from a bottle of water.
An eyewitness said: "It was funny how nervous he was. He clearly knew the gravity of what he was about to do. This morning he was all smiles, but as it got closer, you could see that the nerves were kicking in. It's common for most grooms. I've seen it all before."
Another source told E! News that Kim arrived at their wedding venue with her grandmother, Mary Jo Shannon, shortly after catching a private jet with her bridal party, including sisters, Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian, and mother, Kris Jenner, from Paris, where the couple enjoyed a pre-wedding celebration at the Palace of Versailles on Friday night (23.05.4).
An eyewitness said: "A convoy of cars arrived at around 3 p.m. local time. Kim was in the first car, which was a Mercedes-Benz. They drove the car right up and her assistant opened the door and Kim dashed in. She looked to be wearing white.
"Kourtney was carrying her daughter Penelope and her son Mason--in a red-striped outfit--followed behind.
"Kris Jenner got out of second car wearing black suit. And she put a big professional camera on a strap on her shoulders. She has obviously been taking professional pictures to remember the occasion."
The 'New Slaves' hitmaker surprised the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star by proposing to her on her 33rd birthday on October 21 at AT&T Park in San Francisco.
The couple started dating just months after the reality TV star split from ex-husband Kris in October 2011 after 72 days of marriage.

Anna Wintour was forced to skip Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's wedding.
The US Vogue editor, who became close friends with the rapper long before he started dating the reality TV star in April 2012, was among the high profile stars to decline an invitation to the couple's lavish nuptials at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy today (24.05.14).
But a spokesperson for Anna insisted that it was nothing personal, telling the New York Post's Page Six: "Anna had a longstanding family commitment this weekend and sadly had to miss the wedding."
The 36-year-old rapper allegedly worked hard to convince Anna to like Kim, 33, and it clearly paid off, as she put the duo on the cover of the April edition of her fashion bible.
But sources previously claimed that the respected editor had branded Kim "the worst thing since socks and sandals," and she was said to have blocked the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star from attending the prestigious Met Ball Gala in 2012 even though the tickets were available for purchase.
Despite being snubbed by Anna, a number of celebrities have jetted to Italy for the couple's celebrations, including model Chrissy Teigen, Vogue's former editor-at-large André Leon Talley, actor Jaden Smith, rapper Tyga, fashion designer Rachel Roy and rapper Big Sean.
The 'New Slaves' hitmaker proposed to the Kim, with whom he has 11-month-old daughter North, on her birthday at AT&T Park in San Francisco on October 21.

Christina Ricci is reportedly expecting her first child.
The 34-year-old 'Casper' actress, who has yet to comment on rumours she is pregnant, was spotted strolling through Los Angeles International Airport with her husband, James Heerdegen, and a noticeable baby bump on Friday (23.05.14).
Wearing a long black shirt, the petite 'Addams Family' star appeared to let her body do the talking and accentuated her growing curves with a tan leather belt around her waist, according to the MailOnline.
The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Harold Pratt House And Peterson Hall in New York City last October.
Christina, who was previously linked to Chris Evans and Adam Goldberg, met camera technician James on the set of her short-lived TV drama 'Pan Am' in 2011.
The couple's engagement was first speculated in October 2012 when Christina was seen sporting a diamond ring on her left ring finger and the actress finally confirmed the news several months later.
Christina previously revealed that she enjoyed being able to call James her 'fiancé'.
When asked what she enjoyed most about being engaged, she said: "Getting to say 'fiancé' instead of 'boyfriend'. People take you so much more seriously once you start throwing around that word."
