Idris Elba Sidesteps the Baby Question


Earlier this month there were rumors that actor Idris Elba was expecting a child with his girlfriend Naiyana Garth [click here if you missed that].

Asked point blank about the pregnancy rumors and Idris sidestepped the question...

Idris Elba sat down for an interview with Angie Martinez on Hot 97 in NY when a listener called in and asked if Idris was expecting a baby.

His answer?
“I’m personally not expecting the baby, no. That would be physically impossible.”
At that point Angie asked Idris how he felt about fans' interest in his personal business and Idris replied, 
"It’s part and parcel of being in the public eye I guess. People want to know your stuff. But for the most part, listen, nobody wanted to know anything about me when I was single. Okay? Soon as you get a girlfriend, everybody’s like ‘We want to know. Who is she? We found a photo! We found her Tweets.’ I’m private, I’d like to keep it that way.”
Interesting that Idris mentioned Tweets because his girlfriend Tweeting about her pregnancy is what tipped off his fans [click here if you missed that].
