Hear that sound? It’s the sound of millions of hearts breaking with the exception of one particular person. British actor Idris Elba got engaged to girlfriend Sabrina Dhowre this weekend, surprising millions of fans.
The model took to Instagram overnight Monday, February 12, to express her joy after Elba’s sweet proposal. “Baby! I can’t tell you enough how happy you make me and how lucky I feel to have found a love like this,” she wrote. “You make my heart feel so full. I love you. Forever will always feel [too] short. #imsuchacheeseball @idriselba.”
Elba proposed on Saturday at a London screening of his directorial film debut for the movie, Yardie. Rio Cinema, the venue where he proposed, shared a video on Twitter from the special moment. “‘Another @riocinema first! Still 5 days to Valentines Day but @idriselba went down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend live on stage this morning before a preview of his film #Yardie,” a tweet read.
