(CNN) Days after actor Idris Elba revealed he had the coronavirus, his wife now says she too has tested positive.

Model/actress Sabrina Dhowre Elba shared her diagnosis with Oprah Winfrey Saturday during a Facetime on Winfrey's "Oprah Talks COVID-19," Apple TV+ series.

Dhowre Elba was joined by her husband as the two of them remain quarantined together.

She said she had just found out that morning that she had tested positive.

Dhowre Elba wasn't surprised, she said, because she was already in route to be with her husband when he was awaiting his test results and rushed to be by his side.

"I wanted to be with him," she said. "That's the instinct of a wife. You want to go and take care."

Like her husband, Dhowre Elba said she felt fine, stating, "I don't feel anything that would come to what people would now expect to be a symptom of coronavirus, which is really strange."

"It might change in the coming weeks, and we'll keep everyone updated," she said. "But it is worrisome that we're sitting here, two people, and ... we're asymptomatic."

Elba posted a Twitter Live video last week and said he and his wife took a "calculated risk" by staying in the same residence.

"It was weird because people were criticizing her for being next to me (in the video where he announced he had coronavirus) and that was bananas," he said. "I think that took a little bit of a mental strain on both of us. We didn't expect that."

The couple married in April 2019.

Nothing like a rare wife here. The guy is fabulously rich, famous and successful.

If you have these qualities, ladies will even eat your shiit.

Some Naija ladies for don give you technical divorce

Though some may see this as a loving caring virtuous woman, to be discreet, I see this as folly on both spouses.

If I were in the shoes of Idris, I wouldn't even allow wify come closer. We both cannot be down with shit.

It clearly shows idris is a good caring husband to his wife.

Not all wealthy men are good and caring to their wives.
Not all wealthy men are still Married to their wives. Ask Dangote, none of his wives are ready to go back to him.
Not all wealthy men have good wives .
And I know of wealthy men in their 40s, 50s, 60s, they've never been married, broken engagements here and there, no woman be it bad or good woman is willing to marry and live with them, upon all their Wealth. And their only prayer to God everynight is : please God give me a wife.

And Idris Alba has got himself a wife who truly loves him to the moon and back.

He's a very lucky man and she's a lucky woman too.
They will survive it and bounce back.

She's cute.
I wish them well. Next!

Before nko? I was even about to ask that "you sure we won't use idris's wife'blood to process the cure?" Cause i saw her some time last week with him after he confirmed he was positive and was yet to hear from her too

I understand the fact that she's tested positive, but one thing I don't understand is why she's laughing about it

Some people think Coronavirus is a joke...

Please don't joke about this, see what's happening in Italy; 475 people die every 24hrs. Take precautions and stay protected!

I wish them quick recovery

Kai!!

Well I pray this plague fade off by march ending

Nothing scare me than the CNN death toll update it just keep adding up... I first thought it was numbers, I later come to my senses that life lost are counting

The saying "there is love in sharing" just became clear to me.

Joke aside this is the first time in a while that the whole world is looking really helpless and hopeless.

World leaders are completely overwhelmed. My confused president even called it COVIK- ONE, NINE

Sorry ooo, who have her ATM pin

That is a good wife right there

My darling Nigerians, please stay safe, this ain't a joke. The epidemic isn't smiling.

Stock your homes with foodstuffs, my Candid Advice.

Chai.. We @ wishes the Eba family happy married life.. May this marriage bear fruits.. Long life and prosperity

Amen.
Keep being there in the spirits.

This guys looks good from the look of things....
It seems those people convid-19 kill mostly are old people over 70 precisely[b][/b]

They are both asymptomatic to the most dreaded virus right now and they are both smiling and all comfy like nothing happened.

Yet everyone is already panicking that this virus would wipe us out.

Me for one will stick with the thinking that there is more lies than truth around these covid19 BS.
