My secret marriage to Idris, who broke my heart to be a heart-throb: We loved each other, reveals the US lawyer who became star's second wife... but he was told to dump me to save his career

Sonya Hamlin (centre), a beautiful property lawyer from Maryland and the 'secret' second wife Idris Elba (pictured together, right inset) was married to for a few brief weeks, has given her first-ever interview about the relationship, revealing an unprecedented glimpse into the ferocious ambition of Britain's biggest rising star. The 44-year-old, who was married to the actor (inset) for just six weeks but says they had 'pure chemistry' and were 'madly in love', has claimed they divorced after people told him she would ruin his career, adding that he was told it was an important part of his image to be a single sex symbol. She also spoke out about the few months they spent together, saying they went on normal dates and enjoyed spending time around the house. The actor was also previously married to make-up artist Hanne Norgaard (left) and recently split from his latest girlfriend Naiyana Garth (right).
