Idris Elba Talks About ‘Tantrums’ He Had Once While Dating His Wife and How He Overcame Them
Idris Elba’s wife, Sabrina Dhowre shown her loyalty to her husband last year when he contracted coronavirus and she decided to quarantine with him. Dhowre later revealed she too got the virus. Now a year later Elba opened up about the early dating days with his now-wife during a recent episode of their podcast “Coupledom,” Elba opened up about the tantrums he had while dating Dhowre.
“Sabrina and I, very early in our relationship, I was very stressed so I had these massive anger tantrums that were like explosions,” he said. The actor said Dhowre, 32, would respond asking “‘Who are you’” and his response was “‘Hey, if you’re not happy, leave. Move.’”
The 48-year-old blamed his tantrums on his “male instinct,” and credited his wife for being the reason why they were able to reconcile after their fights. “Sabrina and I both have strong personalities,” he said, “and typically it’s Sabrina who says, ‘Look, I don’t want to fight.’ ”
Elba revealed that he’s worked on his anger, and has “been getting better at it recently,” however, he also said Dhowre doesn’t seem to acknowledge that he’s getting better. “When I do it, I get nothing back. When she does it, I go, ‘Thank you.’ ”
After two years of dating, they got married in Morocco in 2019. “Idris is my best friend,” the model said. “I want to be around this guy every day of my life, so it’s really great to be able to see what that morphs into.”
“I’d say we’re in a good place. It was a challenging year, but ultimately, when you look to the side, and you’ve got someone that’s been there, ride or die, that’s really comforting” Elba said.
