If you were thinking of bagging a date with Idris Elba on Valentines Day, you might want to make other plans.
Last night, the British actor proposed to girlfriend, model Sabrina Dhowre, while attending a screening of his directorial debut, Yardie, at the Rio Cinema in London.
While it might not be the most romantic of proposals, fans were able to capture the adorable moment on Instagram.
In several videos of the proposal, the 45-year-old is seen popping the big question on one knee in front of an entire audience before Dhowre emotionally accepts.
'Another @riocinema first! Still 5 days to Valentines Day but @idriselba went down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend live on stage this morning before a preview of his film #Yardie,' the cinema captioned a video of the post on Instagram.
Despite the newly-engaged couple's joy, Twitter is now in mourning at the 'loss' of Elba.
Elba and Dhowre have reportedly been dating since early 2017. The actor was previously married to Hanne Norgaard and Sonya Hamlin.
Congratulations, Idris!
