Alice Evans looks downcast as she's seen for the first time since her ex husband Ioan Gruffudd married Bianca Wallace - two years after bitter divorce

Daily Mail​29-04-2025

Alice Evans looked downcast as she was seen for the first time on Monday since her ex husband Ioan Gruffudd married Bianca Wallace.
The actress, 56, kept her head down as she stepped out in Beverly Hills with her daughter Ella for a brief outing just a week after Ioan and Bianca tied the knot.
Alice and Welsh actor Ioan, who share two daughters Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11, endured a bitter divorce two years ago.
The newly-weds took to their respective Instagram to share a grainy video of the 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.
Australian actress Bianca, 32, looked every inch the gorgeous bride in a plunging ivory gown while holding on to a bouquet of pink roses.
Meanwhile, Ioan looked dashing in a classic black suit, with the Fantastic Four star at one point seen wiping away tears as he declared his love to his new wife.
The sweet video also sees the newlyweds toasting their marriage with champagne, with other moments seeing them lark around with their pet dog.
The pair, who went public with their relationship in October 2021, looked happier than ever as they shared several kisses throughout the video.
As their Instagram caption suggests, they have officially tied tied the knot in a formal ceremony, with their wedding reception celebration to follow at a later time.
Their happy news was met with a plethora of congratulatory messages from their Instagram followers, with Bianca's sister Chanel remarking: 'So proud! Very exited to have a new brother in our family.'
Their happy moment comes following Ioan's messy split with Alice, with the ex couple formally divorced in July 2023.
However, they are still battling fiercely over spousal support and custody and financial support for their two daughters Ella and Elsie.
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 will be forged.
Their happy news was met with congratulatory messages from their Instagram followers, with Bianca's sister Chanel remarking: 'So proud! Very exited to have a new brother in our family.'
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 Alice's 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'.
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
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.

Sophie Habboo says husband Jamie Laing threatened to leave her over her pregnancy hormones

Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing are expecting their first child together but it seems the pair have had a few rows after the Made In Chelsea star told his wife she was being 'unbearable' while dealing with her pregnancy symptoms. Sophie Habboo has candidly opened up about her extreme pregnancy hormones in her recent podcast, confessing her husband Jamie Laing threatened to leave after she became intensely 'grumpy' as a result of them. Jamie Laing, 36, and his wife Sophie, 30, are getting ready to welcome their first child, having announced the happy news with fans at the beginning of the month. The couple have been flooded with support from fans as they share heartwarming updates about their pregnancy, including some adorable snaps of Sophie's growing baby bump. On their podcast, NewlyParents, the couple discussed Sophie's hormones, revealing that Jamie told her she was being 'unbearable' when she was feeling nauseated all day. ‌ She recalled: "We are leaving and I feel really sick this day, unless I have a piece of bread in my mouth, I feel I'm going to vomit. And Jamie gets his camera out and goes, 'I'm going to vlog today'. I'm like, 'What on my Sunday that I'm about to vomit all day long? He's told me he's going to take me to Borough Market so I can eat the world, but it's for the vlog. ‌ "And what happened was Jamie sits down and he goes 'I'm going to call my friends and ask them what I should do about this. Because I'm going to have to leave you. "I'm going to leave you because you're just so unbearable right now. And I'm going to ask my friends how to do that." She recounted how she cried and wailed and said: "And I went 'You're going to leave me and I'm pregnant'.' ‌ Sophie and Jamie laughed as they retold the story but Jamie was quick to defend himself, saying he was totally unaware of the hormonal changes she was going through and is now completely supportive, the Metro reports. Jamie said: "The amount of people who are going to call me an a*****e. Just a caveat very quickly, I had no idea the emotional journey that you go on, how your body changes. "I just didn't understand the extreme things that go on and since having read stuff and by the way Sophie sends me stuff every day on Instagram, I am awe of what you go through. The hormone change is wild." ‌ Sophie then added: "The bowel change is wild, it's really upsetting and no one tells you that." In the podcast, they discussed their conception journey as Jamie admitted to not really understanding the the ins and outs of conceiving a child. ‌ He said: "Turns out I had no idea about this. I honestly thought for the whole of my life right? That I was walking around with a loaded gun.". Sophie immediately said his phrase was a 'rank description' as he continued to say he thought his penis was a 'loaded gun full of semen'. He said: "I thought it was easy to get anyone pregnant, like so easy". ‌ Sophie added that he was 'thick' when it came to speaking about fertility and explained that he had been wanting to try for a baby even when she was on her period. ‌ Jamie revealed he also had no idea that women could only get pregnant on just one day of the month. This podcast episode comes as the couple have rebranded their podcast from NewlyWeds to NearlyParents. ‌ In a press release about the change, Sophie said: "I'm so excited for this next chapter of our podcast, and of our lives! I feel like NewlyWeds has always been about sharing the real, messy, and wonderful parts of our relationship, and now we get to do the same as we start our family. It feels so special to bring our listeners along for the ride." Jamie added: "I can't wait to share this chapter of our lives with you – and to have a whole new bunch of hilarious stories to share! "NearlyParents is going to be all about the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens of not only becoming parents, but how we also navigate everything life throws at us in between!" ‌ Announcing the news that they are expecting their first baby together, the pair shared a touching video of their scan on Instagram. The footage shows Sophie lying on a hospital bed and smiling at Jamie, who asked how she was feeling and said, 'Oh my god.' The pair then saw the scan, and Jamie could be heard saying, 'Are you kidding me?' The video then panned to an ecstatic Sophie listening to their baby's heartbeat.

These Are The Most Thoughtful Father's Day Gifts We've Seen This Year

Maybe your dad is easy to buy for. Maybe you always know what to get him, and he's really grateful to receive your gift. In my experience, this is not the case. I have struggled with birthdays, Christmases and most definitely Father's Day. After all, the latter is the day when you're supposed to show your care and (extreme) gratitude for the endless lifts he gave you and your friends for years on end (just me?). Just where does one find presents that feel personal and special but also remain affordable? I'll tell you: it's Bloom & Wild. You may be thinking that Bloom & Wild is the name you associate with beautiful flowers, both in letterbox and hand-tied form. While you're right, what you need to know is that the brand has expanded its gift offerings of late and now offers the most incredible array of unique ideas for every occasion. For Father's Day, this means utterly delicious hampers filled with all his favourite things, sweet treats that will fit through the letterbox and even a 'pub in a box', which involves a selection of great beers and yummy snacks. In short, there's a present fit for every dad, regardless of taste, from as little as £20. That's not all, though. Bloom & Wild is also offering a super-cute personalised present for your dad that won't cost you anything at all, to celebrate those everyday acts of care that makes every dad so special. The brand has developed a prompt for ChatGPT which asks for a photo of your dad and a little bit of text explaining what you're grateful for (from cups of tea to invaluable DIY skills), which it will then use to generate a personalised stamp which you can send. Instructions on exactly how to do this are below, and Bloom & Wild is even running a competition to let one lucky winner receive a glorious bouquet for themselves, as well as a bundle of Father's Day goodies. All you need to do is follow the brand on Instagram, then like its post going live on Tuesday 11th June. Then, simply create your stamp and share it, tagging @bloomandwild as you do so. The winner will be announced on Friday, 13th June. 1. Go go ChatGPT (or your AI image-creation tool of choice). Avoid Gemini, as it's not great at putting image on text! 2. Copy and paste the following prompt, filling in the blanks. 3. For a super personalised result, upload a photo of your father figure My [father figure] shows he cares by [insert act of care]. Turn this into a snappy headline suitable for a social media post, paired with a caring, thoughtful two-line rhyming poem that has a warm, witty tone. Use British English, and ensure the spelling is 100% accurate and the copy is grammatically correct. Then generate and place this into a grainy, vintage postage stamp-style image inspired by a 1920s poster ad, using a flat vector illustration style. Preserve the original character likeness and pose. Use vintage colours including the color palette: #447964 (green) #F9ECD7 (cream) #FDF888 (yellow). Design features must include: Perforated border edges, Bold visual highlights, Light noise texture throughout, Stamp must be rotated exactly 18 degrees and scaled to 70%, always centered in frame, Aspect ratio: 9:16, Style: v6 raw —ar 9:16. Overlay 1–2 distressed ink stamp marks. In the bottom right corner of the stamp, add the brand name: 'SENT WITH LOVE BY BLOOM & WILD' — in the same size font as surrounding text. Final image should evoke the nostalgic charm and emotional tone of a 1920s advertisement. Never again will I worry about what to buy for the man who has, until now, been impossible to buy for.
