It's been nearly ten months since the beauty pageant queen, Sabrina Dhowre added Elba to her name after she walked down the aisle in Morroco with her husband, Idris Elba. And, what a wonderful pair they absolutely make.

Sabrina felt that fire igniting in her tummy too as she encountered her first conversation with Idris. Not long after the two hit it off, the model and Idris fell madly in love and were inseparable, despite the huge age difference of sixteen years. As a matter of fact, Elba who didn't believe in marriages anymore even changed his mind.

Soon enough, Sabrina was a part of the Idris family and vice versa. She even got along really well with Elba's children with his previous partners including daughter Isan Elba the Luther star shares with second wife, Hanne Norgaard and son Winston Elba from his relationship to his ex-girlfriend, Naiyana Garth, a makeover artist.

A Romantic Valentine Day Proposal

Nearly more than five months later, Idris who found love again realized anything he ever wanted was right in front of his eyes and didn't hesitate to take the next step of their relationship as he planned to ask for her hand in marriage on Valentines Day.

But due to the hectic schedule caused by his work, Idris said screw it and got on his knees and proposed Sabrina five days prior to the Valentine day at the Rio Cinema in London before the screening of the film 'Yardie' the actor directed. After all, it was bound to happen sooner or later, init?

And, it seemed as if struggle only taunted Sabrina and Idris in their relationship when they couldn't decide to pick the right venue for their wedding, as the models family belonged to East Africa whilst her then-fiance has his lineage linked to the Western part of Africa in Sierra Leon and Ghana.
