Ioan Gruffudd's wife shares reality of pregnancy after Alice Evans shared reaction to their news
wife, Bianca Wallace, has shared a brutally honest account of her difficult pregnancy journey.
The Australian actress, 32, who is expecting her first child with the star, 51, took to Instagram to share a raw photo diary and series of emotional videos documenting what she described as 'some kind of torture' during her first trimester.
'Life lately… Some real moments, because no one needs to be as shocked as I was to find out how f***ed pregnancy actually is,' she wrote, alongside 13 images and videos detailing weeks of intense morning sickness and physical pain.
In one clip, Bianca is seen lying in bed with a heat pack, grimacing in pain as she describes how constant vomiting left her bedridden and unable to sleep.
She revealed she vomited so violently she threw her back out for four days, and shared a snap of herself looking pale and drained after throwing up 67 times in one day.
In another photo, she is seen clutching a bowl of cornflakes - one of the only foods she could stomach for weeks.
She reassured others who may be experiencing similarly rough pregnancies, writing: 'You're not crazy! More often than not it isn't just nausea and "morning sickness". It IS s*** and rough and f***ed and it IS ok to be honest about it!'
Her pregnancy update comes just over a week after Bianca and Ioan announced they were expecting their first child together, posting a sweet black-and-white image of the actor kissing his wife's baby bump.
'Baby Gruffudd poppin' out to say hello!' they captioned the snap, which was met with an outpouring of love from fans and celebrity friends.
But while the couple's news delighted many, it appeared to trigger a scathing response from Ioan's ex-wife Alice Evans, 55, who shared her own cryptic post following the announcement.
Without naming the couple, Alice wrote: 'Some people like to go low. I can't. Not because I'm better. But because I have kids. This s*** is some kind of torture.'
Update: 'Life lately… Some real moments, because no one needs to be as shocked as I was to find out how f**ked pregnancy actually is,' she wrote, alongside 13 images and videos detailing weeks of intense sickness and physical pain
The post sparked speculation among fans that it was a veiled dig at her ex and his new wife, reigniting tensions from the pair's bitter public split.
Ioan and Alice finalised their divorce in July 2023 but remain locked in a fiery legal battle over spousal and child support for their two daughters, Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11.
Court documents have detailed years of alleged abuse, online harassment, and restraining orders.
Bianca was previously granted a three-year domestic violence restraining order against Alice, with Ioan claiming his ex had embarked on a 'smear campaign' against them.

Lauren Phillips reveals she suffered a devastating family tragedy: 'You were the best'
Lauren Phillips has revealed she has had to say goodbye to a beloved member of her family. The radio presenter, 41, shared on Instagram on Monday that her dog Roxy had died. The Nova star posted a sweet photo of her beloved dog lying down on a beanbag in their family home. 'Bye bye Roxy Girl. Have fun chasing balls in the big dog park in the sky,' she wrote. 'I'm glad I got out in time to say goodbye to our family doggo. You were the best girl,' Lauren said. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The sad news comes after Lauren treated fans to a trip down memory lane last month when she tried on her old school uniform. The Nova 100 host shared a video of herself modelling the purple ensemble, which consisted of a short pleated skirt, shirt and matching blazer. 'Screaming, it actually fits - just,' an amazed Lauren said in the caption, adding, 'Loving myself sick.' The Jase & Lauren show star revealed she had been a prefect and middle school house captain at her old school Wesley College in the Melbourne suburb of Glen Waverley. Posting an image of the blazer and her badges, Lauren said her mother had kept the uniform after 20 years. Lauren's nostalgic post comes amid a planned stunt by the Nova breakfast team to 'relive' their high school years. Nova announced co-host Clint Stanaway will join Lauren and Jason 'Jase' Hawkins as they broadcast their show from a bus travelling the Glenn Waverley area. Along the way, the team planned to stop at Clint's old school Glen Waverley High and Lauren's Wesley College. It continues a 'nostalgic kick' by the Nova breakfast team that began in February when the Jase and Lauren Show Instagram account shared a throwback snap of Lauren. Paying tribute to all the children starting school in 2025, the photo showed the radio star looking unrecognisable in junior school at Wesley. The photo showed Lauren flashing the camera quite the cheeky grin as she posed in her school uniform. The future radio star looked cute-as-a-button in the snap, which also showed her adding a pop of colour to her uniform with a purple scrunchie. It wasn't just Lauren that was given the throwback treatment either, with the account also sharing adorable childhood photos of co-hosts Jase Hawkins and Clint Stanaway.

Jessie J has undergone surgery as she shares an 'honest' account of her breast cancer treatment. Posting on Instagram on Monday night, the singer posted selfies from her hospital bed, with her chest bandaged up. Her partner Chanan Safir Colman was also seen sweetly kissing her as she prepared to be wheeled down to surgery, whilst other clips showed Jessie's delight when her young son Sky was allowed to visit. She showed the realities of surgery, sharing a look at her surgical drain, which helps with fluid build up. Jessie, who revealed her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this month, told fans she was now resting at home post surgery and awaiting results. 'Blood warning‼️This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours. I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through. Grateful to my doctor / surgeon and all the nurses who cared for me and all my family / friends who came to visit,' wrote the star, 'I am home now, to rest and wait for my results. Chanan is in a nurse outfit. No no, he isn't, but funny to imagine. Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this!' Last weekend Jessie chocked back tears and vowed she would 'beat' breast cancer on stage at Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard at Wembley Stadium. The singer thanked the 75,000 strong crowd for their support as she opened up about her illness. Jessie said: 'Today, this show is my last show before I go to beat breast cancer!'. As the audience cheered she continued: 'So it's so special to me you have no idea. I feel so special to be from the UK, to be an honest person and say how you feel. 'This is my last show before go treatment and all the things It's the most special thing and I'm so grateful for this life, for you guys, for my career, to my, my son. My partner, my parents'. 'My family, my band, my crew. We are so lucky, we have so much to live for, so much joy, so much, so many things to do'. Earlier this month Jessie, who assured fans her condition had been 'caught early', revealed she had suffered her 'worst day so far' amid her cancer battle as she broke down in tears and struggled through panic attacks. In a lengthy Instagram Stories post, she wrote: 'Honestly, had my worst day so far yesterday since my diagnosis and the busiest three months I have had in years. Work. Toddler. Cancer. life etc had my mind [drained]. Jessie, who shares two-year-old son Sky with partner Chanan Colman, continued: 'Panic attacks/ tears. big fears/ anger/ overwhelm bad. And you know what helped?'. 'I ate a corn on the cob. Turns out it's extremely hard to panic or cry while eating one. Highly recommend. Instead mood shift'. 'Tomorrow is a new day. The [rollercoaster] of cancer is [draining]. I won't be just talking about the highlights. And making jokes all the time. That isn't real life. Goodnight'. Returning to social media, The Price Tag hitmaker penned: 'IMO. It's [key] to acknowledge fear anger sadness panic overwhelm and let it come up and come out. holding it in won't make it go away. In any challenging situation in life'. 'So when I posted what I did yesterday about my current challenge in life, also while making light of the situation. That was one day in 10 weeks that I just lost it and was completely drowned in all the negative and bed feelings any cancer journey can bring. Which is healthy and needed. She went on: 'So I will cry, I will be scared, I will panic, I will feel all of it for a minute or even a full day. And then eat a [corn] or listen to a song that lifts me up or laugh with a friend on Face Time. And then go and be a mum, and go to work and show up and be what I feel 90% of the time'. 'Strong, fearless, healthy, and make some jokes about it all because that's my way. But i will not ignore the 10% that is fear and sadness'.

EXCLUSIVE How Deborra-Lee Furness REALLY feels about dating after messy Hugh Jackman split
Deborra-Lee Furness is currently embroiled in a high-profile divorce from husband Hugh Jackman amid his new romance with Sutton Foster. Jackman and the Shame actress, 69, who share adopted children Oscaar, 25, and Ava, 19, are in the process of divvying up their assets after their split following what Furness called his ' betrayal.' And now, insiders are exclusively revealing to Daily Mail how Furness really feels about dating and where her relationship with her estranged husband stands following her shocking decision to officially file for divorce from the Wolverine star, 56. A source has revealed to Daily Mail that Furness 'has gotten offers to go out and honestly, she is just not interested in this right now.' Despite the offers and her friends trying to set her up, the insider said dating 'is just not for her' at the moment. 'For decades, Deborra-Lee was certain that she had found her life-long companion,' the source continued, adding that the actress 'never thought in a million years that she would be here, at this stage in her life, single.' Furness and Jackman met in 1995 on Australian TV show Correlli, when she was a major star, and he was enjoying his first role fresh out of drama school. He proposed four months later, telling Today in 2018 that he knew two weeks into meeting Furness that they were 'going to be together for the rest of our lives.' The insider disclosed that while Furness is not 'jaded by men, she is taking the time to heal and she has turned down dates from some incredible guys.' 'She knows what she brings to the table,' the source confirmed about the Aussie producer. 'Once the dust settles on this divorce, she will be open to dating again.' Furness is also focusing on herself by managing to avoid all news about her ex and his new girlfriend thanks to 'a Hugh-blocker on her phone.' Furness and Jackman's 27-year marriage started to fall apart during Covid, around the same time that Jackman struck up a friendship with Foster, his co-star on the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man. Foster was married to Ted Griffin at the time (Griffin and Foster are also in the midst of finalizing their divorce). Furness and Jackman announced the end of their marriage in a statement in September 2023, telling fans that they were 'shifting' and as a result had decided to 'separate to pursue our individual growth.' Furness has been using a keyword blocker 'so that she does not have to see any updates on her ex, or see photos of her ex out and about with Sutton' Foster and Furness had a long history even before her ex and his new girlfriend made their relationship official. Foster is said to have attempted to befriend Furness in the run up to their divorce by going on double dates with the couple. Furness previously suspected that the Bunheads actress was having an emotional affair with her husband and was left ' disturbed ' by her attempts to befriend her. The Music Man co-stars confirmed they were an item in January, with what fans deemed a staged picture of them leaving a Los Angeles restaurant hand-in-hand. Furness has been using a keyword blocker 'so that she does not have to see any updates on her ex, or see photos of her ex out and about with Sutton.' The couple have been spotted out and about together by New Yorkers, as they look very much in love and sparked rumors that they moved in together. As the Australian actress goes through the high-profile breakup publicly, the insider divulged that her 'Hugh blocker' has been 'incredibly effective, and it makes her news feed so much easier.'
