Recall that in an interview in July 2017, Idris Elba said:

”Am I ever gonna get remarried? I don’t think so. Yeah, I don’t think so. Marriage is an institution of sorts. And I’ve done it. It’s not for everybody. It’s not my life’s calling.”

She is aged 29 – which makes her 16 years younger than her actor lover.

MetroUK reported that the couple have been dating since last year after they met while Idris was filming ‘The Mountain Between Us’ in Canada.
