Idris Elba<\/a><\/strong> didn’t know he’d marry again\u2014until he met Sabrina Dhowre<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

“We’ve been literally inseparable since we met,” the 46-year-old actor told British Vogue<\/em><\/a> in a new interview released Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The two first locked eyes in 2017 while hanging out at a jazz bar in Vancouver, where Elba had been filming The Mountain Between Us<\/em>. As The Wire<\/em> star recalls, it was “love at first sight.”<\/p>\n

“You know, I’m 47 this year, been married and lived a full life before I even met Sabrina,” he told the magazine. “It wasn’t something that I wanted to do, get married again. But\u2026”<\/p>\n

In February 2018, Elba proposed. The Luther<\/em> actor popped the question<\/a> at a film screening in London. The two then tied the knot<\/a> at the Ksar Char Bagh hotel in Marrakesh, Morocco in April 2019. According to British Vogue<\/em>, the couple picked this location because the bride and groom’s families are from east and west Africa respectively and they wanted to meet in the middle.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The event was an extravagant affair. According to the publication<\/a>, friends and family members celebrated their love for three days. Guests reportedly attended a “colors of the Souk” themed dinner before the wedding and toasted to the newlyweds at an all-white party the day after the nuptials.<\/p>\n

On the big day, the duo said “I do” in style. Per the publication, the bride wore two custom dresses by Vera Wang while Elba donned an Ozwald Boateng suit.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Not only have the two strengthened their own bond over the course of their romance, but Elba also credits his spouse with helping him build up his other relationships.<\/p>\n

“Sabrina has deepened friendships with people I’ve known longer than [her], nurturing the best side of me to make me connect to my friends more,” he told the magazine.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

This marks Elba’s third marriage<\/a>. The actor was first married to Hanne Norgaard<\/strong>, with whom he shares his daughter Isan<\/strong> Elba<\/strong>, and then to Sonya Nicole Hamlin<\/strong>. He also welcomed a son, Winston Elba<\/strong>, with Naiyana Garth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
