Idris Elba’s wife, Sabrina Dhowre Elba, revealed that she tested positive for coronavirus after making the decision to join the actor in his self-quarantine after he tested positive.
The couple spoke via video chat with Oprah Winfrey for the first episode of her new Apple TV+ series “Oprah Talks COVID-19.” The host noted that Elba caught backlash for allowing his wife to be physically close to him in the video where he announced to the world that he’d tested positive for coronavirus.
Elba has been isolating in New Mexico, where he was working, ever since he found out. That’s when Dhowre joined the conversation and revealed that she’d learned earlier that morning that she had indeed tested positive herself.
