Let me start off by saying Idris Elba is by far one of my FAVORITE actors out right now. Ever since I watched him flawlessly portray the role of cunning drug lord Stringer Bell in the highly acclaimed HBO crime drama ‘The Wire‘ I immediately recognized this man’s talent - - and it’s no surprise that the world immediately took notice of this budding superstar as well. Hence why it came as no surprise that women would adore him. I mean, the man’s talented, handsome, and he’s stylish. All in all most women would deem that a winner and would jump at the opportunity to “have his baby” which is actually what ended up happening to Idris a few years back when a woman supposedly had his kid a few years ago only to find out later on that the child was in fact not actually his.

In the recent issue of GQ, which Idris covers, Idris opens up about heartbreaking revelation while being asked about his kids.

Elba currently has one daughter with his ex-wife Kim Elba. A few years ago, during a interview, he told reporters that he had a son as well and later went on to deny the son ever existed in an interview with Essence leaving many people very confused.

At the time, he was dating a woman named Desiree Newberry, and the couple lived together for a few years before she became pregnant. She eventually gave birth to a baby boy, which would have been Idris’ first son, and it was one of the happiest moments in his life.

“The celebration of having a son—from a man’s perspective, it’s massive.” He told friends about it. He told reporters about it. Then came the suggestion—not from the child’s mother, but from elsewhere—that not everything was what it appeared to be.

“It wasn’t immediately obvious—well, it was, because he didn’t look like me,” Elba says. “But it wasn’t immediately obvious what had gone down.”

The woman eventually took a paternity test and it revealed that the child was not Elba’s.

To be given that and then have it taken away so harshly, was like taking a full-on punch in the face: POW.

You know, the truth is—like, even admitting it, I’ll probably get laughed at for the rest of my life. But it is just tragic, and it happened.” He looks directly at me when he says this. “But I wasn’t knocked out. I stood right the f–k back up, and I ain’t aiming to take another punch in the face ever again.

Do you understand what I’m saying? It happened to me. I moved on. I’ve not been an angel in my life, either—do you know what I’m saying? So to a certain extent, what goes around comes around. But for me in the future, I’m about being comfortable. That’s it.

Ouch! I can’t even begin to imagine how he must of felt when he found out that God awful news… ( SMH).
