‘We learn and educate as newlyweds’: Idris Elba’s wife Sabrina, 32, reveals working on a podcast about couples and partnerships with the actor, 49, helped with their marriage


Idris Elba’s wife Sabrina revealed working with her famous husband on podcast Coupledom was ‘a way for us to learn as newlyweds’.

The model and philanthropist, 32, married the actor, 49, in April 2019 after two years as a couple, and Sabrina insists the pair learned a lot working on the podcast, which sees them explore partnerships on love, business and activism with famous stars.

During an appearance on Loose Women on Thursday, she said: ‘Partnerships have always intrigued us since we got together’.

She continued: ‘You meet up with friends and you talk about, “Hey, how’s your marriage going?” and “How are your family?” We’re always looking at ways that we connect with other people in our lives. 

‘Coupledom was a way for us to learn as newlyweds and have these amazing conversations with duos that inspire us and to be able to learn ourselves and hopefully educate people around us.’

The couple started working on the project together this year, with the first episodes being released in June.

And Sabrina claims she has come to realise how unions of all forms affect our daily lives. 

She explained: ‘We have the second part of the season in the works right now recording and Coupledom is more than just about romantic relationships, it’s familial, it’s business partnerships, it’s everything that encompasses duos. 

‘We’re trying to get really deep into the different kinds of relationships and how they affect our day to day lives.’

Idris previously said the work on the podcast and their lifestyle brand S’able Labs helped him and Sabrina move into a ‘good place’.

Sabrina said in an interview with People: ‘We’re newly business partners, but we’re also newlyweds. Idris is my best friend. 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.’ 

Idris added: ‘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.’
