Idris Elba Marries Sabrina Dhowre In Morocco
Idris Elba, 46, and Sabrina Dhowre, 29, are married.
The couple, who got engaged in 2018, exchanged vows on April 26 at the Ksar Char Bagh hotel in Marrakesh, Morroco. Dhowre wore two custom dresses by Vera Wang; while Elba wore a bespoke suit by Ozwald Boateng.
The celebrations have been spread out over three days. Friends and family attended a “colours of the Souk” themed dinner the night before the wedding at the Amanjena. On April 27, they will attend an all-white party at the Mandarin Oriental, which will emulate the atmosphere of a festival.
As for how the two lovebirds met, you can thank good timing. “Falling in love while making a movie about falling in love is pretty special,” Elba told Jess Cagle of meeting Dhowre while filming The Mountain Between Us, co-starring Kate Winslet, in Canada in 2017.
The couple has since popped up at some of the biggest events of the year together, including Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s highly publicised nuptials in May 2018.
This marks Elba’s third marriage as he previously wed Hanne Norgaard, with whom he shares daughter Isan, in 1999, and then Sonya Hamlin briefly in 2006. He welcomed son Winston with ex Naiyana Garth in 2014.
Congratulations to the couple. More photos below:
