Alice Evans reveals she had 'the best birthday ever' in gushing tribute to her two daughters as she says she is still fighting to keep a roof over their heads
Alice Evans has told how she had the 'best birthday ever' in a loving tribute to the two daughters she shares with her ex-husband Ioan Gruffudd. In an apparent dig to her former partner, Alice said this year's celebrations were the best yet as she spent the day with her children, Ella, 16, and Elsie, 13. Alice shared a sweet snap of the 'awesome threesome' cuddled up together as she said how she is constantly fighting to keep a roof over their heads. Alice is currently in the midst of a bitter legal battle with her ex-husband Ioan regarding child support payments for their two daughters. She wrote: 'Awesome threesome. Best birthday I have ever had. My girls I love you more than life itself sad nothing will ever come between us. 'My role is to keep you safe, keep you fed with a roof over your beautiful heads, which I spend all my days trying to do. She wrote: 'Awesome threesome. Best birthday I have ever had. My girls I love you more than life itself sad nothing will ever come between us' 'And to be there for you when you need a parent when you need to talk. We've talked so many times this weekend I feel even closer to to both than I was before. 'You are AMAZING children. Thank you for being mine.' The new post comes soon after Alice shared a post about her 'sad feelings' as she took to Instagram after lamenting the state of her old neighbourhood. The actress' post came just hours after Ioan's new wife Bianca Wallace denied she had ever had an affair with Ioan - insisting their romance began when he was single - and accused Alice of inventing the 'disgusting, vile story'. Alice didn't respond to Bianca's accusations as she took to social media to share her sadness after returning to her old neighbourhood to find many of the old shops all boarded up. Visiting her old neighbourhood in Melrose/Fairfax in Los Angeles with her daughter Elsie Alice confessed she was left shocked after returning to find 'the whole place abandoned'. Sharing snaps of the surroundings where many shops were shut she penned: 'Sad feelings. What is happening to our world? 'Elsie and I made a trip back to our old neighborhood of Melrose/Fairfax yesterday because I had a meeting nearby. And so many things were boarded up!! Alice shared a post about her 'sad feelings' and asked 'what is happening to our world' as she shared a snap with her daughter Elsie 'This is Fred Segal Melrose, which housed Cafe Mauro, which was a central meeting point for so many Angelenos over the past 30 years. 'It was a celebrity hotspot. Guaranteed if you've ever checked out the paparazzi pics in one of those magazines we all used to guiltily buy at the airport you've seen pics from outside Fred Segal. 'But it was also a beloved local joint. We lived one minute's walk from it for 17 years and I never saw the car park less than ramming. Here we are, Elsie and me and the whole place is abandoned. The car behind us is ours. It felt very sad.' She continued: 'We went on a little drive after that and place after place had closed down. I think you don't notice so much when you're living there, but coming back after 6 months or so is a shock.' The star then asked her followers: 'What do people think? Are commercial rents too high? Are we moving to a buy online/order in lifestyle? 'Tell me about things you've noticed on your neighborhoods. Our world is changing so fast!' Alice also thanked fans for her support after she confirmed she is doing a Meet and Greet in Covington, Georgia as she took to Instagram to share the exciting news on Tuesday. She added: 'As always, love you all and THANK YOU for the love after my last post. A xxxxx'. Joined by her daughter Elsie she shared snaps of the surroundings as she penned: ' Sad feelings. What is happening to our world?' Bianca finally responded to the accusations as she revealed she did not have an affair with Ioan after receiving threats towards her unborn baby from trolls. Taking to Instagram with a screenshot of some of the hate she has received - Bianca called the affair accusations 'pathetic' and 'utterly ridiculous'. She penned: 'I have ignored this truly pathetic narrative for nearly 4 years now because of how utterly ridiculous and clearly insane it is. 'But threaten my innocent, unborn baby and the time for ignoring is up! Absolutely no one will ever threaten my baby over a made up story about an affair that literally never happened! No way.' Since Ioan and Bianca went public with their relationship, Alice has openly hit out at their relationship on social media and claimed the pair had been embroiled in a three-year affair. Back in 2022 Bianca posted a snap of her and Ioan holding hand which Alice branded 'sick' and 'evil' and claimed seeing the image was like a 'stake in the heart.' Responding to Alice's claims directly in her post, Bianca continued: 'In October 2021 my husband's ex made up a disgusting, vile story about my husband and I having an affair. Taking to Instagram on Monday with a screenshot of the hate she has received she stated the affair accusations were 'pathetic' and 'utterly ridiculous' Alice (pictured) previously accused her estranged husband of cheating on her for three years with the Bianca, who is 21 years her junior, telling fans she was 'lost, sad and confused' 'For 3 years and 9 months the narrative as been ongoing, making people like 'rivqah2020' message me, and now my unborn baby, threats like this. 'The TRUTH has been set in black and white, in clear evidence, under oath numerous times, and all available in public record.' She added: 'I will not have my innocent baby born into this completely intentional manufactured drama. This has all got to end now, and it needs to end with the truth and facts. 'My husband and I haven't deserved one second of this, and now, our unborn baby is being threatened and attacked. Absolutely no f*****g way! 'I know that I speak for so many people out there who have lived through this kind of abuse, lies and manipulation when I say we are all sick and tired of the b******t now.' Alice previously confirmed her separation from the Welsh star in a series of furious tweets posted on Twitter in January 2021 - with Ioan moving on with his new girlfriend Bianca in the following October.

Jake Paul hires powerhouse lawyer of Elon Musk and Jay Z as controversial boxer vows to take on critics who claim his fights at RIGGED
Jake Paul has taken a decisive legal step to defend his reputation amid ongoing claims that his boxing matches are rigged. The social media star turned professional boxer has retained Alex Spiro, a top-tier attorney known for representing some of the world's highest-profile clients, including Elon Musk, to address and counteract what they say are false and damaging statements. Spiro, reportedly charging around $3,000 an hour, is known for aggressively protecting the reputations of his clients, and his involvement signals Paul's serious commitment to legally combating accusations that could undermine his career and business interests. 'I've been retained by Mr. Paul to pursue legal redress for the damages he has suffered,' Spiro said in a statement. 'If someone uses their public soapbox to harm him and the sport with lies, there will be consequences.' Spiro is a powerhouse American attorney known for representing some of the biggest names in the world, including the likes of Musk, Jay-Z, Alec Baldwin, and Naomi Osaka. Spiro played a pivotal role in Baldwin's defense following the fatal 2021 'Rust' shooting. He helped uncover that prosecutors had withheld evidence, leading to the dismissal of involuntary manslaughter charges against Baldwin. Spiro represented Osaka in a lawsuit filed by her former coach, Christophe Jean, who claimed a lifetime commission on her earnings. Spiro argued that the agreement was invalid, leading to the lawsuit being dismissed. Spiro also defended Jay-Z against a defamation lawsuit filed by a woman who falsely accused the rapper and Sean 'Diddy' Combs of a 2000 assault. The case was dismissed with prejudice, and Spiro emphasised that Jay-Z stood firm against the allegations, never settled, and ultimately cleared his name. He will now be working alongside Paul - who faces unique legal challenges that require a seasoned litigator with experience in high-profile cases and a deep understanding of public perception. The legal move follows a storm of controversy around Paul's fights, especially after his recent unanimous decision win over former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June. Despite Paul's 12th professional victory, several notable media figures and celebrities publicly alleged that his fights were fixed or staged. Among the loudest critics was Piers Morgan, who questioned the legitimacy of Paul's victories. Paul's manager and MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian pushed back hard against these accusations during an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, stating: 'When you definitively state that Jake is putting on staged or rigged fights, that's just defamation, and you're causing substantial damage to his business, to MVP's business, and something that's 100 per cent not true. Bidarian emphasised the broader implications, noting the damage these accusations are causing to Paul's partnerships with major brands such as DAZN, Netflix, and Celsius. 'We're having to have conversations with our partners that are just unjustifiable,' he said. 'Our legal representation is looking at multiple individuals to go after.' Paul's most widely viewed bout came last November in a high-profile fight against former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, which was streamed live on Netflix and watched by over 108million viewers globally. Despite the massive audience, critics again raised suspicions about the fight's legitimacy. Adding fuel to the fire, Adam 'Pacman' Jones, a friend of Tyson and former NFL star, publicly suggested the fight might have been rigged. 'I truly think the fight was rigged because if you look at the first round, Mike hit him with a couple and it looked like he told him to slow down,' Jones told The Mirror US. 'Did I think his feet were all the way there? No, I didn't. He was a little wobbly on the feet.' For Jake Paul, who has steadily tried to prove himself as a legitimate athlete despite his polarising public image, these legal actions and strong defenses reflect his intent to protect not just his brand, but the credibility of the sport he loves. With Spiro on his legal team, Paul is sending a clear message: allegations without evidence that damage his reputation and business will not be tolerated and he is prepared to pursue full legal consequences against those who spread them.
