Actor Ioan Gruffudd, 51, and his wife Bianca Wallace, 32, announced they’re expecting their first child together via a sweet Instagram post. The couple shared a monochrome photo of Ioan tenderly kissing Bianca’s growing bump, captioned: “Baby Gruffudd poppin’ out to say hello!” Fans flooded the comments with congratulations, calling the news “the best” and praising the pair as “loving parents.”

The pair, who married in a private ceremony earlier this year, hinted at a larger wedding celebration to come. A video of their vows, set against a coastal backdrop, was shared in April with the caption: “Marriage now, wedding later.”

Post-Divorce Turbulence

Their joy follows a tumultuous divorce between Ioan and ex-wife Alice Evans, finalized in July 2023. The former couple, who met on the set of 102 Dalmatians in 2000 and married in 2007, have been locked in a bitter custody and financial battle over their daughters Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11.

Ioan currently pays $4,500 monthly in temporary child and spousal support, per a September 2023 court agreement. He has accused Alice of violating a domestic violence restraining order by allegedly harassing Bianca online. Court documents claim Alice led a “smear campaign” against the couple, which she denies.

Alice Evans’ Financial Struggles

Meanwhile, Alice revealed in February 2024 that she faced eviction from her Los Angeles home, citing an inability to pay rent amid the costly divorce. She launched a GoFundMe, raising over $18,800, and later thanked donors for helping secure housing. “We have a roof over our heads,” she shared, though she called the situation “embarrassing.”

Ioan, whose recent film Bad Boys: Ride or Die grossed $403 million worldwide, argues Alice’s financial claims are exaggerated. He asserts he’s overpaid support per their prenuptial agreement.

Looking Ahead
Despite past turmoil, Ioan and Bianca are embracing their new chapter. Followers continue to rally around the couple, with one fan writing, “Your child will be surrounded by so much love.”
