Idris Elba Recalls Telling Wife Sabrina Dhowre ‘If You’re Not Happy, Leave’ When They Were Dating: I Had These Massive Anger Tantrums

Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina Dhowre are still going strong after getting married in 2019 – but his anger problems caused serious issues in their relationship when they were dating.

He said on their new podcast Coupledom,

“Sabrina and I, very early in our relationship I was very stressed so I had these massive anger tantrums that were like explosions. She was like, ‘Who are you?'”

He confessed,

‘I was always the first to say, ‘Hey, if you’re not happy, leave. Move.’ It was kind of like a male instinct.”

He said his wife is frequently the one who’s the voice of reason.

“Sabrina and I both have strong personalities and typically it’s Sabrina who says, ‘Look, I don’t want to fight.’ I’ve been getting better at it recently but when I do it, I get nothing back. When she does it, I go, ‘Thank you.'”
