Idris Elba denies that he is dating Madonna

Earlier today, we were all left stumped by speculation that Madonna was dating Hollywood actor, Idris Elba.

However, it appears that the bizarre pairing was a little too bizarre to be true, and Idris has now taken to social media to slam the claims in the most spectacular of fashions.

Writing on Twitter, the actor rather eloquently wrote: “Am I sleeping with Madonna? No, motherf***ers… ‘Don’t believe the hype'”.

Well, that’s certainly cleared that one up.

The rumour mill first started spinning when Madonna attended Idris’ first ever kickboxing match at York Hall, filming him fighting in the ring alongside the proud caption: “Idris Elba Smashes it at York Hall!”

The Sun then reported that the pair had been spotted getting a bit cosy after the match as well as at a mutual friend’s birthday in London, with Madge taking to her Snapchat account to share images of herself and Idris together.

But it looks as though the entire thing was all very innocent and more of a *gasp* friendship than romance.

Either way, sleeping together or not, we are loving Idris and Madonna’s growing relationship.
