What Sabrina and Idris Elba have learned about partnership.

We all know who Idris Elba is. The 48-year-old Hollywood star is acclaimed for his work on The Wire and Luther and for playing Nelson Mandela, and, of course, for being voted People's sexiest man alive. He was the star DJ at Harry and Meghan's wedding, and he has just launched a lifestyle brand with his wife, Sabrina Dhowre Elba.

"You learn and grow in business and in love"

For Dhowre, it took being married to one of the world's most famous men to realise her ambitions. "I'm from a small town compared with London – Vancouver, Canada – and I just don't know if I had the same scope for my life vision," she says. "Being with Idris totally changed that. Now all I want to do is talk business, start businesses and learn about business."
