Marvel star Ioan Gruffudd expecting baby with Aussie wife Bianca

Hollywood star Ioan Gruffudd, 51, and his second wife Bianca, 32, have announced they're expecting their first child together.
The Welsh actor, who is already a dad to Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11 with his ex Alice Evans, shared the news on social media on Monday.
Posting a sweet black and white photo of the pair, Gruffudd can be seen kissing Aussie Bianca's blossoming baby bump.
In the caption, they wrote: 'Baby Gruffudd poppin' out to say hello!'
It comes more than two years after Gruffudd's divorce from ex Alice Evans, with whom he shares two daughters.
The actor accused Evans of 'child abuse' after their then 13-year-old daughter Ella filed a restraining order.
The victory over Ella and her younger sister Elsie came after a judge in Los Angeles granted Gruffudd's demand for the appointment of a child psychologist.
Hollywood star Gruffudd first obtained a restraining order in 2022 against Evans.
Gruffudd blasted her for allegedly getting Ella to file her own restraining order against him – and for stopping their two daughters from going to therapy.
The actor said: 'Although there is an order for the girls to attend therapy, Alice has repeatedly either refused to bring the girls or interfered with my bringing the girls to therapy.
'Since separation, the girls have missed more therapy session than they have attended and they have had multiple therapists.
'I believe Alice's actions are child abuse and I am gravely concerned for our children.'
Evans denied abusing or harming her daughters.
He and Bianca went first public with their relationship in 2021.
The couple first announced their engagement back in January 2024.
The Fantastic Four star shared a beaming snap with Bianca on Instagram as they jointly announced their news.
Bianca flashed her engagement ring and a happy smile while Gruffudd took a selfie.
He revealed he was looking forward to giving marriage another go, captioning the photo on Instagram: 'The most precious thing happened…'
The couple made it official in April this year when they secretly wed in a clifftop ceremony.
Taking to Instagram, they shared a video showing their romantic wedding ceremony.
Both captioned their updates: 'Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.'

Joss Stone gives birth to daughter just months after adopting baby boy
Joss Stone is "so in love" after giving birth to baby Nalima Rose. The 38-year-old singer - who has Violet, four, Shackleton, two, and adopted son Bear with her her husband Cody DaLuz - revealed her new arrival on Monday (16.06.25) as she shared a sweet photo of herself cuddled up with her daughter. She wrote alongside the snap on Instagram: "Happy #mummymondays. "Welcome our beautiful Nalima Rose to the world. We are so in love." Joss and Cody found out she was pregnant just weeks after adopting baby boy Bear, who is now seven months old. Back in December, she wrote on Instagram: "Honestly. Shocked was an understatement. Nothing and no one can take our joy now. "We are so chuffed !!!! Maybe we should call the 'Less is More' tour the preggo tour. (sic)" The Super Duper Love star had revealed the adoption process happened "so fast", as she played a small clip of herself revealing the news to her children. But the journey to collect the little one did not go entirely smoothly, as the couple ended up in the wrong hospital and became confused about where to go. Joss explained: "We were in the wrong hospital. I knew it! "That's why Tummy Mummy said eighth floor, and the guy downstairs said second floor because they are totally different hospitals!" When Bear was just weeks old, Joss revealed he had problems with his lungs and doctors have warned them not to take him out anywhere. In a video posted on Instagram, Joss was seen sitting in her car with Bear and saying: "I am sat in the car with him because he is so little that he can't go out because he was so premature his lungs are a little bit vulnerable. "I'm just here with little man hanging out." While she was told not to take Bear out, she still had to get him to a doctor's appointment. The pop star added: "At the hospital they said: 'Don't take him out anywhere'. "But shortly after they said but make a doctor's appointment and I thought: 'Hang on you just told me not to take him out as his lungs are too vulnerable but you want me to bring him to the doctors where there are all these germs and stuff?'
