Bianca Wallace shows off her baby bump in a tiny crochet bikini after announcing she is expecting her first child with Ioan Gruffudd
Bianca Wallace has shared a first look at her baby bump, posing in a tiny crochet bikini.
The Aussie actess, 32, revealed earlier this month that she is expecting her first child with husband Ioan Gruffudd, 51.
Bianca basked in the sunshine over the weekend, proudly displaying her bump in a pale pink two piece adorned with shells.
Sitting on the beach, a beaming Bianca captioned the snap 'I don't care about nothing.'
Bianca and Fantastic Four actor Ioan shared the exciting news about their pregnancy this month, posting a sweet black and white photo of Ioan kissing his wife's growing baby bump.
'Baby Gruffudd poppin' out to say hello!' the caption read.
In April, Ioan and Bianca took to their respective Instagrams to share a video of them tying the knot in a romantic ceremony, captioning their posts: 'Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.'
Set to Martin Arteta's track Past Lives, the video shows the pair saying their vows in front of an idyllic backdrop with a stunning sea view.
The pair, who went public with their relationship in October 2021, looked happier than ever.
Their happy moment comes following Ioan's messy split with Alice Evans.
Ioan and Alice Evans formally divorced in July 2023. However, they are still battling fiercely over spousal support and custody and financial support for their two daughters Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11.
At the September 9 court hearing, Judge Josh Freeman Stinn signed off on a stipulated agreement in which Ioan pays $3,000 a month temporary child support and $1,500 a month temporary spousal support until another February 13 hearing where a more permanent support arrangement was to be forged.
Ioan planned to call his then fiancée Bianca as a witness at the February hearing to testify that his ex wife 'stalked, harassed and abused' her, repeatedly violating a three-year domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) which she and Ioan took out in August 2022, after enduring a 'smear campaign' of hateful text messages, emails and social media posts from her.
Ioan claims that Alice 'engaged in a pattern of damaging and defamatory conduct against me, aimed at intimidating and harassing me and my fiancé, Bianca Wallace, while alienating our two young children from me.'
Ioan – whose latest movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die has grossed more than $403 million worldwide – has fought Evans' demands for more money, claiming he's paid some $400,000 more in spousal support that he needed to under their pre-marital agreement.
In earlier court papers, he called her claims of poverty 'exaggerated' and said it's a 'false narrative' that she and the children have been left destitute.
The former couple met on the set of the movie 102 Dalmatians more than 20 years ago. They fell in love in real life and were married in Mexico in 2007.
Ioan filed for divorce in March 2021, shortly after Alice announced on social media that her husband of 14 years was walking out on her and their two daughters.
Meanwhile, in February this year, Alice revealed she's being evicted from her LA home after being 'unable to pay her rent'.
The actress wrote on Instagram that she and her daughters have 'no way of renting even the cheapest room in the city' after being beset by financial woes amid her bitter court battle with ex-husband Ioan.
Sharing a sweet throwback snap with her two daughters, Alice shared that she is like many others in Los Angeles trying to find a new place to live after the city was devastated by fires in January.
Alice was thought to be renting a home in California with her two children after her bitter divorce from Ioan.
Earlier this month, she created her own Divorce fundraiser, setting up a GoFundMe which has so far raised $18,828, but admitted she was 'so embarrassed' to have to do so.
But in a positive update recently shared on Instagram, Alice revealed that she, her daughters and her dog Emma now have a 'roof over their heads' and had retained their possessions after worrying she would lose them as she thanked fans for donating.

Former Coronation Street star Melissa Johns has revealed she is expecting her first child. The soap actress, 35, who played Imogen Pascoe until 2019, married long-term partner Dan Hampton in October 2024. And now she has revealed she is pregnant in a sweet post showing off her blossoming bump. Sharing a snap of some cute baby booties and her scan on a sandy beach she captioned the post: 'Oh Baby. We made a wish and it came true… 'Baby H-J - we can't wait to meet you. Forever grateful.' In the clip the mirror showed them walking out onto the beach as she then turned around in her pretty red and pink dress to tenderly touch her bump. Former Coronation Street star Melissa Johns has revealed she is expecting her first child Last October Melissa exchanged vows with partner Dan in a romantic Hertfordshire ceremony. Melissa - who was born with only one arm - stunned in a floor-length ivory lace gown which featured a meter-wide fishtail. Taking to Instagram, the actress and many of her fellow acting friends shared moments from the beautiful occasion. In one snap, which featured a couple of photographs from a professional shoot, Melissa confessed that her heart was 'full'. In the post, Dan looked dapper in a charcoal two-piece suit, a crisp white shirt and paisley-print tie. She penned: 'Good morning, We're still in a bit of a bubble. It's really quite lovely in here. 'Think we'll stay a little longer… And hopefully soon we will have the words to describe exactly what October 11th meant to us. 'Our hearts are the fullest they've ever been.' The loved-up post was liked by her co-star Bhavnia Limbachia, who attended the sweet nuptials. Bhavnia played the character Rana Habeeb in the soap until 2019. She wrote under the post: 'Huge congratulations! What a beautiful day.' She also shared a picture of herself at the joyous wedding. She wore a navy floor-length frock as she danced the night away. In other snaps, Melissa could be seen enjoying some light-hearted fun as she posed with a denim jacket which has Mrs printed on the back. Back in 2018, Melissa was devastated when intimate photos of her were leaked online and posted to a disability porn website which led to her being cruelly trolled. Melissa has previously described how she spent years 'despising' her body, after receiving vile comments from complete strangers. 'I was in a nightclub and was dancing with this lad, we were getting on well and he asked my friend if he could have my number, I didn't see him for the rest of the night,' she recalled.

Pregnant Laura Adlington pens an emotional letter to her unborn baby as she reflects on her 'really long journey' to motherhood after a nine-year fertility battle
Pregnant Laura Adlington left her followers in tears as she penned an emotional letted to her unborn baby on Sunday. The Great British Bake Off star, 36, reflected on reaching the halfway stage of her pregnancy after a nine-year fertility battle. Laura confirmed the sex of her first child with her husband Matt earlier this month, after sharing the news they were expecting a baby after quietly 'giving IVF a try.' In the picture, Laura cradled her blossoming bump in a pretty white and blue summer dress, while sharing her letter to her baby in the caption of her post. She began her post: 'Dear baby, We're over halfway. Can you believe it? 'Some days it still doesn't feel quite real, and if I'm honest I still feel like I'm living in a dream. Like I don't deserve this. 'Ever since the day I found out about you, I've been waking up at around 4am. I lie there in the dark, imagining what it will feel like to finally hold you. 'I wonder what kind of person you'll grow into, what your laugh will sound like, what little quirks will make you, you. 'It's been a really long journey to get here, one filled with a lot of heartache. And although I'd be lying if I said we weren't both still waiting for the rug to be pulled from under our feet, we are finally letting ourselves dream a little louder. 'I've been busy making lists of all the things you might need. I can't wait to get your pram and start putting your nursery together – tiny steps towards the day you come home. She finished emotionally: 'But more than anything, I just can't wait to meet you. To hold you. To look into your eyes and finally whisper, 'You're here. We did it.' Meanwhile a storm of fans flooded the TV baker with supportive comments. Posts included: 'Ahhh I adore this Laura. Much love to you xxx'; This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever read❤️ sending you so much love'; So beautiful'; My heart⭐️⭐️⭐️✨✨✨'. Meanwhile many of her fans and famous pals flooded the TV baker with supportive comments The update comes after Laura reveal the couple are expecting a boy, while sharing a sweet story about how their much-wanted baby was always 'meant to be' It comes after Laura reveal the couple are expecting a boy, while sharing a sweet story about how their much-wanted baby was always 'meant to be'. She confirmed her pregnancy in April after 'quietly deciding to give IVF a try' over a year ago. The television baker previously gave up her hopes of having a baby after she was told by doctors that her only chance to get pregnant was to try IVF and she would have to lose a substantial amount of weight first to qualify. Posing with an adorable teddy bear outfit, Laura revealed she and Police Community Support Officer Matt eagerly bought the dungarees not long after she'd come off the contraceptive pill in the hope that their journey to parenthood would be swift. Although Laura was initially 'excited at the thought of finally becoming a mum', she 'had no idea how long or how hard the journey ahead would be'. Alongside the sweet photograph, she wrote: 'True story: About nine years ago, not long after I'd come off the pill, we popped into Tesco to grab a few bits for a family picnic. 'Excited at the thought of finally becoming a mum, I made a beeline for the baby section and picked up this little outfit. I held it up to Matt and said, "Shall we get it?". He laughed and reluctantly agreed. And into the trolley it went. 'Back then, I had no idea how long or how hard the journey ahead would be. Months passed. Then years. Negative test after negative test. So many tears. So much heartache.' Laura admitted she found it difficult seeing her friends and family get pregnant while it wasn't happening for her and Matt - and said she came close to giving away the baby outfit on many occasions. She continued: 'One of the hardest things was watching all our friends and family get pregnant, while we kept waiting with empty arms, wondering "When is it going to be our turn?". 'Over the years, there were times we were caught short needing a baby gift, and I was tempted to give this little outfit away (I didn't really know what else to do with it) until a friend gently asked how I'd feel seeing someone's else's baby in it, and suggested I hang onto it. 'And so I did. Three house moves and nearly a decade later, this tiny outfit has quietly stayed with us, tucked in a bottom drawer, or in the corner of a room that never got touched. 'Unless on very rare occasions I'd find it while spring cleaning and would hold it close to my chest, praying one day our baby might wear it. Well, earlier this year, as many of you know, our prayers were finally answered.' Confirming the gender of the couple's baby and her feelings about expecting a boy, Laura told her followers: 'And recently we found out we're having a little boy. I'll be honest: part of me had hoped for a girl. 'But looking back, we never bought a girl's outfit – just this one. So maybe that's the universe's way of saying this was always meant to be. 'Now, this little outfit isn't just a symbol of hope. It's waiting, just like we are, for the little boy who was always meant to fill it.'

EXCLUSIVE Pregnant Made In Chelsea star Jessica Woodley describes preparing for motherhood as a 'fierceness arising' ahead of welcoming her first child as she admits she 'caused her own suffering' on the E4 show
Jessica Woodley described feeling a 'fierceness arising' in her as she prepares to welcome her first child with her filmmaker partner Mark Logan. The former TV personality, 30, who quit Made In Chelsea in 2017, announced her pregnancy this week and reflected on her 'journey of self discovery' after 'causing a lot of her own suffering' during her stint on the series. She has since pursued her passion for art and furniture-making and launched GliFfY, her first functional sculpture collection, which has been five years in the making. In an interview with MailOnline Jessica, revealed she is three months away from welcoming her first child with Mark - who she met through mutual friends in the creative industry. Speaking about motherhood, she explained: 'I can feel like a fierceness arising in me, like fierce, sort of protective, like a strong woman. 'I remember about five about six years ago now, I'd say I was fairly ignorant and causing a lot of my own suffering. Due to ignorance and due to not being very self-aware and also not having self-worth, not trusting myself.' Jessica added: 'From the person I was then, to the person I am now it's just completely different. And it's so nice to have refuge in myself again and to actually trust myself.' Recalling the moment she found out she was pregnant, the artist said: 'I found out really early. The nausea was strong. It was really strong. So I knew something was going on. I think I knew like from the second it happened. 'My partner was so he was really excited from like the get-go. His response actually made me feel really safe and like comforted. 'When I met Mark, it was like a remembrance. It was like I remembered him, it was like, oh, we're kind of just picking up where we left off. I've never felt that before.' As she worked on her collection through her pregnancy Jessica likened her artwork to a 'journey back to herself' as well as a byproduct of the tough time she went through. She admitted how COVID-19 and lockdown forced her into 'solitude' and gave her a chance to reflect on ow she was feeling. 'It gave me an opportunity to actually look at myself and in like I see what what was going on and like why things were happening or why I was feeling a certain way,' she explained. 'At the time, I think I was quite. scared, but it ended up being really positive. It was like the journey from not knowing like who I was to knowing who I was.' Jessica joined Made In Chelsea back in 2015 and had a relationship with Jamie Laing, before quitting in 2017. In 2020, she hit out at reality TV, branding it 'dangerous' in a now-deleted Instagram post. Jess said dipping her toes into TV was a life regret and called for people to boycott shows which 'destroy people's lives and mental health.' She wrote at the time: 'A little personal note to anyone on here who may be following me from when I was on a reality TV show. I just want to express how dangerous the nature of mainstream reality TV is... 'The effects it can have on human being, to me it felt like I made a decision at a very young age resulting in what feels like identity theft. 'Finding my way home has and is taking longer than I expected. I never imagined the repercussions of this choice of mine but here I am faced with a dilemma and to me a trauma. 'We all made mistakes in life this feels like mine if you are following me for the wrong reasons and support reality TV please unfollow me. 'We need to come together and cancel reality TV.. People have died I believe it is a very serious matter please respect me like I respect you. I really really encourage you to erase watching/ supporting these programmes. 'These big companies are slowly but surely destroying these people's lives and mental health for your entertainment. Really really think about this, life is so precious. Be the change.' Jessica joined Made In Chelsea back in 2015 and had a relationship with Jamie Laing before quitting in 2017 In 2020, the star hit out at reality TV, branding it 'dangerous' in a now-deleted Instagram post The television personality was one of Made In Chelsea's central characters between 2015 and 2017, which saw her locked in a love triangle with show lothario Alex Mytton and his then-girlfriend Nicola Hughes. Since bowing out of the E4 series, Jess has been focusing on her fashion career. Announcing her decision to quit the show that propelled her to fame, Jess said: 'I'm not filming for it [the new season]. 'It's been fantastic and has given me the platform I've always wanted, but now I'm focusing on my fashion brand. 'The door's always open, but I'm taking this time to focus on myself.' Jess' former co-star, The Hills cast member Stephanie Pratt, later expanded on her decision to quit the show, saying: 'I think Made In Chelsea didn't make Jess happy. 'She was definitely the type of person that had rage and regret, so it was harder when it [the show] would come out months later. She just wasn't happy on the show.'
