Idris Elba, 47, and Sabrina Dhowre Elba, 30—16 year difference

Elba became engaged to Sabrina Dhowre on 10 February 2018, they have been dating since early 2017. The couple married on 26 April 2019, in Marrakesh. Elba has been married three times. First marriage was to Hanne “Kim” (from 1999 to 2003) and then to Sonya Nicole Hamlin (for four months in 2006). He has two children: a daughter with Kim and a son with ex-girlfriend Naiyana Garth.

Idris Elba, a man of many talents, described his initial meeting with wife Sabrina as “Love at First Sight.” Indeed, Idris once shared that he didn’t believe in marriage anymore having been married once in his life. Well, I guess he changed his mind on that score, because he decided to marry again, and says that he’s “over the moon” about it. They have a 16-year age gap between them, but nobody seems to mind, least of all these two, who, to their credit, seem to be madly in love with each other as any couple can be.
