Idris Elba, the acclaimed actor known for his commanding presence in dramas like *Luther*, and his wife Sabrina Dhowre Elba, are facing a deeply unsettling ordeal. A persistent stalker has been targeting the couple, creating a climate of fear and anxiety in their private lives.
The harassment began in September and continued for weeks, culminating on October 21st. The stalker repeatedly appeared at separate events attended by Idris and Sabrina, causing significant distress. This wasn’t a fleeting presence; it was a deliberate and escalating pattern of intrusion.
Sources close to the couple reveal the situation reached a breaking point when Sabrina became a direct target. Idris, fiercely protective of his family, felt compelled to involve law enforcement. The intrusion extended beyond physical appearances, encompassing disturbing cyber-stalking through their personal email accounts.
Idris and Sabrina’s love story began in 2017, a chance encounter at a jazz bar in Vancouver while Elba was filming *The Mountain Between Us*. Their connection was immediate, blossoming into a whirlwind romance that culminated in a stunning Moroccan wedding in 2019.
This marriage represents a significant chapter in Elba’s life, especially considering his previous stance on matrimony. He had previously expressed doubts about ever remarrying, viewing it as an institution he’d already experienced. Yet, Sabrina clearly changed his perspective.
Prior to Sabrina, Elba’s personal life included a marriage to Hanne ‘Kim’ Norgaard, lasting from 1993 to 2003, and a brief union with Sonya Nicole Hamlin in 2006. He is also a father to Isan with Norgaard, and Winston with former partner Naiyana Garth.
In a surprising revelation last year, Elba also shared the existence of a previously unknown son, Riaze Foster, a 31-year-old actor and barber who even collaborated with him on the film *Yardie*. This added another layer to his already complex family history.
Now, as they navigate this frightening situation, Idris and Sabrina are relying on the authorities to ensure their safety and bring the stalker to justice. The couple is understandably shaken, hoping for a swift resolution to restore peace and security to their lives.
