Winston Elba was born to famous actor Idris Elba and a woman he dated briefly, Naiyana Garth. Thanks to his acting prowess, Idris Elba needs no introduction. However, the woman with whom he had his youngest child is not so popular.

Naiyana Garth is a makeup artist. She dated Idris from 2013 until 2016 when they parted ways amicably. It remains unknown what caused them to split. However, there are speculations it had to do with another woman — supermodel Naomi Campbell. 

One good thing from Idris and Garth’s romance was their son Winston, whom the actor loves very much. He also has a daughter named Isan from his previous marriage. 

What We Know About Winston Elba

Winston Elba was born in April 2014. The proud father took to social media to share the news. He shared a picture of the newborn gripping his finger and tweeted: “My Son Winston Elba was born yesterday. Truly Amazing :-).”

Winston is reportedly named after Idris’s father, Winston Elba, who passed on the year before Idris’s son arrived. Idris Elba’s son lives a sheltered life and is rarely seen publicly. However, occasionally, he gets pictured with his dad on casual outings.

For instance, in 2018, the pair were spotted strolling in Paris adorably holding hands. Idris and his former girlfriend have found a way to make things work and co-parent their son. 

Winston Elba and His Sister Changed Their Father’s Life

Idris has expressed how he feels about fatherhood several times. In 2015, he said, “I love being a dad; it’s an important part of my life. . . . as much as it’s nice to be busy and working, ultimately children don’t raise themselves.” 

Idris said that parents needed to be there for their kids so that when they need help, it doesn’t get too late. The actor said: “You’ve got to be there to help them and guide them through it. That’s one thing I try my very best to do.”

That very reason makes Idris the kind of hands-on father he is. Despite having one of the most demanding jobs on earth, he manages to make time for his kids and has a large presence in their lives. 

In a 2018 interview, Idris revealed how witnessing the birth of his kids has affected him. He said: “Witnessing my children’s birth is the biggest and best thing ever. I’m super doting, big hugs, kisses, lots of love-yous. . . . My son is still at that age where he loves a cuddle.”

Who Is Idris Elba With Now? 

Unfortunately, Idris Elba is off the market, hopefully for the long term. The “Luther” actor is married to Sabrina Dhowre Elba, a Canadian model of Somali descent. The pair met in 2017 while Idris was filming “The Mountain Between Us” with Kate Winslet in Vancouver. He spotted her in a jazz bar; according to him, it was love at first sight. 

Sabrina initially approached Idris as a wingman for her friend, but the actor mistook it for romantic interest and eventually managed to win her over. Sabrina once revealed: “We had the best conversation. We talked all night, all the next day. We were inseparable after that.” 

Idris and Sabrina tied the knot on April 26, 2019, and have been happily married ever since. Over the years, their union has solidified into something stronger, and they seem ready to go the distance. 

The pair have a 16-year age gap that once had people talking but has never affected how they feel about each other. Their love keeps getting stronger. In 2021, they launched a relationship-focused lifestyle brand called S’able Labs. Now they also host an audible podcast called “Coupledom.”

Who Was Idris Elba Married To? 

Before falling for Sabrina, Idris had tried his hands at marriage twice. The first woman he married was a makeup artist called Kim Norgaard. They were together from 1999 to 2003 and share a daughter named Isan. Even though it’s been years since they split, Norgaard has kept her surname as Elba, most likely because she shares a child with him. 

The second woman Idris married was a lawyer called Sonya Hamlin, and the union lasted for only four months in 2006 after they eloped in Las Vegas. Hamlin shared details of what they had in 2016. She said: “We hit it off. We meshed very well. He’s not shy, and neither am I, and we fell very much in love with each other.” 

The pair met thanks to an introduction by a mutual friend. However, the actor’s career ultimately ruined anything it could have blossomed into. Hamlin said, “He was being told it was an important part of his image to be a single sex symbol in Hollywood, and being married would damage that.” 

She and Idris had conversations about it and ultimately chose to split. Hamlin later revealed that it broke her heart, but what happened could not be helped. Idris no longer has to maintain his status as a sex symbol and finally settled down with Sabrina. 

The pair is one of the famous couples who have proven in their relationships that age is just a number. Others like them include Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde, Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger, and Al Pacino and Noor Alfallah.
