Idris Elba was dubbed the sexiest man alive in 2018 but unfortunately for the ladies, he's officially off the market. The English actor, rapper, DJ etc. got engaged to his long-time girlfriend, Sabrina Dhowre last year ahead of the premiere of his directorial debut, Yardie. Yesterday, Elba and Dhowre exchanged vows at a beautiful wedding in Morroco.

Idris Elba and Sabrina Dhowre are hosting a bonanza of sorts for their wedding. The two officially exchanged vows yesterday but the wedding celebrations have spanned over three days. On Thursday, the family and friends of the bride attended a "colours of the Souk" themed dinner at the Amenjena. Tonight (April 27th), the couple is set to attend an all-white party at the Mandarin Oriental.

Elba and Dhowre have been together since early 2017 but this isn't Elba's first marriage. He was married to Hanne "Kim" Nørgaard from 1999 to 2003 and the two have a daughter together. He later wed Sonya Nicole Hamlin, although that marriage lasted about four months before they decided to call it quits. 

Elba's been incredibly busy over the past year with movie roles and other ventures. Elba, who also DJ's under the moniker Big Driis, performed at Coachella this year and also debuted his Netflix series Turn Up Charlie where he plays a washed up DJ trying to revive his career.
