They exchanged vows on 26 April at the Ksar Char-Bagh hotel in Marrakesh, according to the magazine.

The night before the ceremony, friends and family attended a “colours of the souk” themed dinner. On Saturday, they will attend a party at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, which will reportedly emulate the atmosphere of a festival.

The couple got engaged last February after Elba dropped to one knee during a screening of his film Yardie at the Rio Cinema in Dalston, east London.

Rio Cinema confirmed the news on its Twitter account, writing: “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.”

Elba and Dhowre, a model and former Miss Vancouver, had reportedly been dating since early 2017.

The London-born actor was previously married to Hanne Norgaard and Sonya Hamlin.
