‘I wanted to be with him’: Idris Elba’s wife Sabrina Dhowre-Elba tests positive for coronavirus

Idris Elba’s wife Sabrina Dhowre-Elba has tested positive with the coronavirus, a week after her husband.

Defending their decision to isolate together following The Wire star’s diagnosis, she told Oprah Winfrey ‘I wanted to be with him’ and claimed she felt ‘the instinct of a wife’ to take care of him.

In an interview on Winfrey’s new Apple TV+ series Oprah Talks, the couple opened up about being quarantined together in New Mexico, where Elba’s latest film was in production.

Actually, I found out this morning, Oprah, that I tested positive,’ Sabrina told the host on Facetime on Saturday.

Idris, 47, told Oprah, he ‘hasn’t witnessed any major symptoms’ and is ‘feeling okay.’

It’s interesting and worrying that people are possibly carrying this disease and are seemingly okay, but can spread it easily, he said of not being symptomatic.

Sabrina, who also feels healthy, said: I don’t feel anything that would come to what people would now expect to be a symptom of coronavirus, which is really strange. It might change in the coming weeks, and we’ll keep everyone updated.
