Ioan Gruffudd, Bianca Wallace engaged – couple to be married after years of affair and messy divorce
Actors Ioan Gruffudd and Bianca Wallace are now engaged to be married.
The exciting turn in their relationship comes three years after Gruffudd filed for divorce from now ex-wife Alice Evans.
Wallace, 31, took to Instagram to share the news of her engagement.

“The most precious thing happened…,” she wrote alongside the picture of the two smiling post-kiss as she showed off her ring.
The pair went public with their relationship in October 2021 – seven months after Gruffudd, 50, filed for divorce from Evans, 55.
Gruffudd and Evans were married from 2007 to 2023 and share two children daughters Ella and Elsie.

The Fantic Four star and his new fiancée have been navigating their relationship throughout Gruffudd's marriage to Evans, divorce, and custody battle.
Back in October 2021, just hours after they went public with their relationship, Evans accused her ex-husband of having a three-year-long affair with her former friend.
Evans claimed at the time, “So it turns out that my husband, after two years of telling me I’m a bad person and I’m not exciting and he no longer wants so to have sex with me and he just wants to be on set abroad…Has been in a relationship for THREE years behind all our backs.”
“Good luck, Bianca,” she added.
In a since-deleted tweet, the Lost actress had called out to Gruffudd for leaving his family.

She wrote at the time, “Sad news. My beloved husband/soulmate of 20 years, Ioan Gruffudd, has announced he is to leave his family, starting next week. Me and our young daughters girls are very confused and sad. We haven’t been given a reason except that he ‘no longer loves me.'”
During the messy divorce, Gruffudd filed a restraining order against Evans in February 2022. He claimed that the British actress had made threats to “make false public accusations” against him if he left her.
The said restraining order alleges that Evans “threatened to tell people I had abused her and our daughters...threatened to call the police on me if I did not comply with her demands … threatened to tell people I am a drug addict and put me in prison … threatened to write a fake diary that reflected an abused victim and to have the diary published; and … threatened to destroy my mother.”
The King Arthur actor was granted a three-year restraining order against Evans. They legally divorced in July 2023 but are yet to fully settle.
It seems that Gruffudd’s affair with Wallace did not settle well with his children.
In June 2023, his older daughter filed a restraining order against her father and his new girlfriend for five years – accusing him of abuse by slamming a door on her head during a heated argument. However, the restraining order was denied.
Evans too, has since, moved on. In August 2023, she shared that she was in love but is yet to share details of her new man.
“I am SO in love right now and cannot believe I only felt this level of intense love at 55,” she gushed at the time.
