Why Idris Elba’s Wife Sabrina Was Wrongly Reported as Pregnant

Posted on December 22, 2019

I’m not a fan of bumpwatch speculation that involves dissecting the roundness of a woman’s belly as seen through a skin-hugging dress but alas, however, Idris Elba‘s wife Sabrina is the subject of pregnancy speculation.

Back in July, UK press suggested the model and former Miss Vancouver beauty queen is pregnant based on a less than flat tummy she displayed while wearing a shimmery mirror dress while attending the premiere of his new movie Fast And Furious Presents: Hobbs And Shaw’ at Dolby Theater in Hollywood, California on July 13th.

Idris Elba & Eric Benet: Celebrity men who’ve shared photos of their breastfeeding partners in social media

Posted on May 13, 2014

First Eric Benet in 2012 and now Idris Elba in 2014.

In April, Elba welcomed his first child with partner makeup artist Naiyana Garth and last Saturday, he posted a photo on his Twitter account of little Winston innocently flipping the bird while breastfeeding with the hilarious caption, “I’ve been drinking, I’ve been drinking…Drunk in Milk” as a parody to a lyric in Beyonce‘s song “Drunk in Love” off her last self-titled album.

Funny stuff!

A couple years prior, in January 2012,singer Eric Benet (Halle Berry‘s ex-husband) also shared a photo (which has since been deleted) of his wife Manuela Testloni on Instagram also nursing their daughter Lucia while she was unknowingly holding up the universal sign for peace.

Both celebrity men shared the photo because they found amusement in the finger gesture their respective babies’ were holding up when they snapped the pic, not knowing, perhaps or thinking in doing so, they would be de facto advocates for breastfeeding.

In fact, back in 2012, Eric’s share sparked a bunch of controversy, online discussion and some public shaming of public breast exposure during breastfeeding. If it’s taboo when its seen in the general public, it’s become doubly taboo when shown in social media for many more to see. It’s a topic which we’ve seen come alive again recently when last March 2013, a famous athlete’s model girlfriend did the same thing and was virtually shamed off the web, accused of doing it out of pure vanity, not for the purpose of promoting nursing.

It looks like we may have evolved since 2012 and/or the vocal opponents to such natural images are realizing to keep their trap shut and deal with it and/or the image got buried in all the other news items that have been dominating our minds and news feeds.

Anyhooo. All are sweet and endearing and we encourage more of this type of sharing by celebs to help destigmatize public breastfeeding.

Kudos Idris and Winston (and mama Naiyana, of course)!

Winston is Elba’s second child; he has a daughter, Isan, from a previous marriage to Dormowa Sherma.

45th Annual NAACP Image Awards Red Carpet Fashion: Kerry Washington & others who wowed (PHOTOS)

Posted on February 23, 2014

Last night, some of our current and past Bellyitch Bumpwatch and other moms hit the red carpet to the 45th NAACP Image Awards at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California on February 22, 2014.

Scandal actress and first time mom-to-be Kerry Washington stunned in a custom Thakoon NY dress, Christian Louboutin shoes, a brada clutch and Suzanne Kalan ring.

The and her cast took home the award for the Outstanding Drama Series award. She looked stunning pictured with actors Tony Goldwyn, Scott Foley, Columbus Short, Katie Lowes, Darby Stanchfield, Joe Morton, Bellamy Young, and Guillermo Diaz,

Idris Elba, Best Actor nominee for Nelson Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and Dad-to-be and with girlfriend Naya Garth, looked dapper in a fitted tux and Louboutin “Dada” flats while posing with 2014 Award season “It” girl actress Lupita Nyong’o of 12 Years A Slave. Elba won the award for Outstanding Actor in a Television Movie, Mini-Series or Dramatic Special for his role in Luther.

Nyong’o took home the Best Actress award for her role in that movie award and looked amazing in a plunging neckline burnt orange Givenchy pre-Fall 2014 gown with matching sandals and box clutch from the designer with her hair in a parted afro-puff. She acceneted the look with an H. Stern gold cuff and dangling earrings.

A more recent Bellyitch bumpwatch mom Nia Long was nominated for her role in House of Lies and wowed in a jade green Nicole Miller halter gown Brian Atwood heels, a Salvatore Ferragamo nude basket-weave clutch and Danielle Queller earrings.

Our winner for best body winner actress Regina King, who was nominated for outstanding actress in a drama series, turned heads in Michael Costello, who seems to be the go-to designer for Black Hollywood but seemed to miss in this ill fitting black mermaid dress that looked to constrain the SouthLAnd star’s toned torso too much.

We have covered mom and soon-to-be surrogate TV personality Sherri Shepherd of The View in the past and last night she worked magic in an off the shoulder shimmery Carmen Marc Valvo gown. The unexpected blue nails were a plus, with the statement accent pieces.

One of the very first moms we featured for being the first to have a reality TV special following her pregnancy, singer and actress Brandy Norwood, won the Image award for “Best Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series” for her role on BET’s The Game. She looked darling and sexy in a black cut out dress during the non-televised dinner show and again the next day during the televised portion of the show in a Jean Fares Couture black lace embellished gown with nude lining.

Even though she didn’t win for her wonderful and talented work in The Butler, advice mom to the world, Ms. Oprah Winfrey looked dazzling in her burnt orange dress while paying tribute to the late Nelson Mandela who we lost earlier this year.

All about Idris Elba’s pregnant girlfriend Naiyana Garth who wore Tiffany Rose at the Golden Globes

Posted on January 14, 2014

Long Walk to Freedom actor Idris Elba attended the 71st annual Golden Globe awards Sunday, January 12 at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills with his longtime pregnant girlfriend Naiyana Garth.

Elba was nominated for Best Actor in the Motion Picture Drama for his role in the Freedom, the Nelson Mandela biopic and for Best Actor Miniseries or Television Film for his role in the BBC criminal drama Luther. He didn’t walk away with either Sunday night. There’s always SAG and the Oscars, both coming up where he is also nominated.

Nonetheless, the British actor has much to look forward to with Garth who looked radiant in a black floor-length Tiffany Rose gown.

The designer, which we have featured before, has dressed our other current Bellyitch Bumpwatch moms-to-be Princess Madeliene of Sweden and No Doubt lead vocalist Gwen Stefani.

Garth, a fellow Brit and celebrity make-up artist, tweeted to a friend in early October about being very early in her pregnancy.

She later deleted the account.

Despite being seen out and about at various events with Garth sporting a noticeable bump, Elba who stars in this Summer’s Thor only confirmed the news two months later in December.

This will be their first child together. Elba has an 11-year-old daughter named Isan from his marriage to ex-wife Dormowa Sherman. They live in Atlanta.

Garth reportedly attended Waldegrave School for Girls in London, then West Thames College in West London., Hello Beautiful recently noted., adding that Garth’s career in make-up artistry started with humble beginnings at local mall counters. She worked her way up in the business to eventually to work on the faces of Jamie Oliver, Rupert Everett, Simon Bird, Freddie Fox, and Elba, hence how they met.
