British actor

Idris Elba has denied reports that he and his wife Sabrina Dhowre have welcomed

their first child together.

“Sab @Sabrinadhowre

and I thank you for all the congratulations but we haven’t had a baby… that’s

not true. Don’t believe everything you read. Stay safe,” the actor said on

Twitter on Monday.

It was

reported that Idris revealed the birth of a son while promoting his new film, Concrete

Cowboy, at the Toronto International Film Festival recently.

During the interview

with ET Canada, he said: “It really resonates with me, I’m a father of two

boys, and definitely I can’t wait for my youngest to see this film.”

Idris has two

children from previous relationships: daughter Isan, 18, and son Winston, six.

In dispelling

the reports, Idris made no mention of a pregnancy or plans for another child.

Idris and

Sabrina tied the knot last year at a private ceremony in Morocco.

Earlier this

year, the two were in the news after Idris tested positive for coronavirus. He

was filming a movie in New Mexico at the time, and Sabrina travelled there to

be by his side following diagnosis.
