Idris Elba Talks Paternity Drama
However, when Essence magazine later asked him about how his eldest child, a daughter, felt about being a big sister, Elba explained, "I only have a daughter."
Elba shared with the mag that when the woman he was dating at the time had a boy, it was one of the happiest times in his life.
"The celebration of having a son—from a man's perspective, it's massive."
But the joy was short-lived. People close to the Brit told him that something was amiss, and that the child may not have been his.
"It wasn't immediately obvious—well, it was, because he didn't look like me," he said. "But it wasn't immediately obvious what had gone down."
