Sabrina revealed that she has tested positive for coronavirus, just a few days after her husband, the British actor Idris Elba, also tested positive for the same virus.
In an interview with US media mogul Oprah Winfrey, Sabrina, 30, expressed that she was not surprised by the positive result and never hesitated to stay with the “Luther” star after his confirmed infection.
She shared:
“Actually, I found out this morning, Oprah, that I tested positive.
“I’m not surprised. As soon as I heard that Idris was potentially exposed I was on my way anyway and I wanted to be with him.
“I think that’s an instinct as a wife you just want to go and take care. We didn’t change the way we interacted.
“I could have made a decision to put myself in a separate room or maybe stay away.
“I’m sure people are making those decisions, they’re tough decisions to make. But I made the decision to want to be with him and still touch him.”
Elba, who indicated that he may have been exposed to the virus the day he was at an event with the infected wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, emphasized that his wife might have been infected at the same time as him, even before his positive result came back.
Speaking to Oprah, he added:
“On the day of the exposure, we were together at home and had been together right until I had departed to fly.
“So at any point then, and prior to us knowing, if I’d caught it, she’d certainly have caught it in that time period as well.”
