Her Love Story

She met her partner in 2005 through their mutual friend. After their first meet, the couple started dating

At the time, she had an office with few employees working under her.

The only witness to their wedding was a stranger named Daniel, who is an estate agent. 

Their relationship as husband and wife did not last long as Sonya filed for divorce after four months.

What Ended Her Marriage?

The reason behind their separation was pressure from others. People would tell Elba that he would ruin his career by being married. 

In an interview with Dailymail, she said, 

“He was being told it was an important part of his image to be a single s** symbol in Hollywood and being married would damage that.” 

The couple was living in Maryland. According to the law, one had to be married for a year before filing for divorce. 

She wanted a divorce as soon as possible, and hence she convinced the judge that she was drunk and unconscious at the time of the wedding. 

Considering her reason, the marriage was finally annulled

Does She Have Any Children?
