Idris Elba Releases Song About COVID-19 Diagnosis As Wife Tests Positive

Unfortunately, Idris isn’t the only one in his household to text positive for coronavirus. A week after her husband’s initial reveal, Elba’s wife, Sabrina Dhowre-Elba, has also tested positive for the virus.

After receiving some skepticism for their decision to quarantine together, Sabrina defended herself in a new interview with Oprah Winfrey, simply saying, “I wanted to be with him” adding that she felt “the instinct of a wife’ to take care of him.”

The interview went down on Winfrey’s new Apple TV+ series Oprah Talks, which is were the couple opened up about being quarantined together in New Mexico, where Elba’s latest film was in production. That’s when Dhowre-Elba revealed that she was also infected.

“Actually, I found out this morning, Oprah, that I tested positive,” Sabrina told the host on FaceTime. She also mimicked her husband’s sentiments about not having any symptoms that would lead her to believe she had the virus. “I don’t feel anything that would come to what people would now expect to be a symptom of coronavirus, which is really strange,” she explained. “It might change in the coming weeks, and we’ll keep everyone updated.”
