"He's at the peak of his career and one of the most desired men in the world and maybe having a young baby doesn't chime with that. It seems like he won't ever settle down."
Indeed, it is not the first time that Elba has tumble-weeded away from his lady in her time of need. His first wife was pregnant with his daughter, now 15, when they parted ways.
. His second marriage was also short-lived: it only lasted for a day.
Now, as he reaches the peak of his popularity, there is no stopping Elba. "He just loves all the attention," Cohen said. "He loves flirting with everyone in the room, whether it's a gay waiter or the coat check girl."
"Everybody fancies him. He's a really, really sexy man and loves the attention."
