Her hair was slicked back from a side parting and she opted a natural palette of makeup, showcasing her naturally good looks.

The married couple, who met at a party in 2017 and wed in an extravagant ceremony two years later were all smiles as they attended the game.

The Wire star admitted he fell in love ‘at first sight’ when he saw Sabrina and often talks about how the pair are inseparable.

Despite famously claiming he would never marry again, Idris made a public proposal to Sabrina at a film screening, before tying the knot in Marrakesh in 2019.

The pair share a hugely successful podcast, titled Coupledom and have launched their own lifestyle brand, Sable Labs, which is Elba’s spelt backwards.

The couple aim to make Sable Labs a ‘global community that celebrates partnerships of all kinds – romantic couples, business partners, creative duos, long standing friends, family ties and much more.’

Idris’ appearance at the basketball game comes after yesterday’s Netflix release of ‘Luther: The Fallen Sun’.

The highly-anticipated action flick, adapted from the hit BBC series, sees Elba step back into character as DCI John Luther.

We love it! Despite a slew of negative reviews from critics, Idris’ fans have taken to Twitter to laud his return as Luther in the Netflix film The Fallen Sun

The latest film has been met with a number of two-star reviews, with critics claiming the ‘preposterous’ picture is ‘jumbled’, ‘farfetched’ and ‘ridiculous’.

However, fans of the British heartthrob didn’t seem to mind, with some fans calling out to Netflix to make more of the gritty series.

The Wire star, who has long been touted as Daniel Craig’s replacement for James Bond, teased to Capital Radio that there could be more Luther works in the future.

Asked if there would be a spin-off following Alice Morgan – the dysfunctional psychopath who appeared in the BBC series, Idris evealed: ‘This is a question for Neil Krause, who writes Luther and I think he’s definitely thought about that.

‘And I think we’ve all imagined an Alice show because it would just be amazing. But also, I think Alison in the Luther universe is not dead.’
