Idris Elba and Naiyana Garth seem to have confirmed their reunion

A source told the Mirror: "Idris and Naiyana have had their ups and downs but they still adore each other. And they are dedicated to Winston. "An onlooker added: "They both looked into each other, and Idris was looking out for Naiyana making sure she was okay while he did interviews on the red carpet. "Idris, 43, and Naiyana were reported to have separated in February of this year, with a source claiming he had moved out of the family home in south-west London and into a nearby rented flat. "They've kept it very quiet," the insider said. "It's very sad that this has happened while Idris is experiencing the highest points of his professional career and they can't celebrate it with each other."
