Alice Evans shares housing update after claiming she could end up homeless amid financial troubles following Ioan Gruffudd divorce - as her GoFundMe reaches $18k
Alice Evans has shared a housing update after turning to her fans to help her support her children amid financial troubles. The actress, 56, claimed in court documents earlier this month that she would be homeless in three weeks because her financial situation is so 'dire' following her divorce from Ioan Gruffudd. She then 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 shared on Instagram on Monday, Alice revealed that she and her daughters now have a 'roof over their heads' and had retained their possessions after worrying she would lose them as she thanked fans for donating. She said: 'Just wanted to tell everybody that me and the girls and Emma are safe with a roof over our heads! It's been a whirlwind but we made it through the last three days and managed to save all our belongings too!

'We could never, ever have done this without the incredible love and kindness from all of you. Honestly I was at my wit's end and you saved me. 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will keep you posted. Love you so much.' Taking to Go Fund Me, the star created her own Divorce fundraisers and has already raised an incredible $16,927 from generous fans after admitting 'I cannot explain how low things got'. Confessing she felt shame in turning to the public for help she penned: 'I'm so embarrassed about this. If you're here you know my story. 'You know how much I struggle to keep my two girls healthy and happy and a roof over their heads. 'You know what I've been through. It never ends. I'm just getting squeezed in every which way and smeared in the media so that nobody even wants to employ me.' And now the star has provided an update after raising almost $17,000, out of a $25,000 goal, as she revealed the family are now able to move her furniture into storage next week. She wrote: 'Quick update. The donations have allowed us to afford a moving truck and a persons to help us move all our furniture into storage next Saturday. She previously explained to fans: 'I need help getting the girls and I to our next place. Moving costs and deposit. We have found such lovely little places - tiny, but they felt like home' 'This is amazing because my main worry was having to abandon it here. Looking for temp accommodation after that and will keep you posted. 'I am so incredibly grateful and humbled by your generosity. I cannot explain how low things got last Wednesday when I reached out. I am unbelievably appreciative and forever indebted to you all. Thank you.' Alice had previously explained she was struggling to cover the moving costs. She told fans: 'I need help getting the girls and I to our next place. Moving costs and deposit. We have found such lovely little places - tiny, but they felt like home. We don't need much. 'I am selling most of my stuff and have jobs lined up to keep us on our feet. We just need that extra bit to get us over the finish line. To be able to present a cash payment upfront that will get us in the door.' Expressing her gratitude she added: 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those of you who have shown me compassion and love and understanding. 'I will never, ever forget your kindness - every single one of you.' Alice previously claimed that her ex was living in comfort in a $5,500 a month apartment with a home gym while she and their two children cannot afford 'basic necessities'. She claimed she would be on the streets by June 1st because she cannot pay her rent and all the shelters in Los Angeles are full. She accused Ioan, 51, who married his second wife Bianca Wallace last month, of 'intentionally' turning down acting gigs to keep his income low during their split and avoid having to pay her more. 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. The bombshell legal filing at a court in Los Angeles comes after Ioan accused Alice of using cocaine in front of their two daughters - and even offering the girls the drug. Meanwhile Ioan and his wife Bianca put on a very smitten display while attending the 32nd Annual Race To Erase MS Gala in Los Angeles last week. The Fantastic Four actor, 51, and Aussie actress Bianca, 32, packed on the PDA on the star-studded red-carpet - just a month after happily tying the knot. The couple took to their respective Instagrams on Friday to share a grainy video of the them tying the knot in a romantic ceremony, captioning their posts: 'Mr & Mrs Gruffudd' Last month, the couple 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.' The marriage comes two years after the Welsh actor's bitter divorce from ex Alice with whom he shares two daughters. Ioan and Alice Evans 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 will 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.

Fans donate over a thousand dollars to Alice Evans' GoFundMe after she made desperate social media plea for help
Fans of Alice Evans have poured $1,253 into her GoFundMe account in the hours after she took to social media to make a desperate plea for help. The actress, 56, admitted she has hit 'rock bottom' and claimed she and her two daughters are about to be homeless. She begged supporters to offer up a spare room and admitted she is 'terrified' in the distressing Instagram posts. The posts prompted a flurry of donations to the GoFundMe account Alice set up for herself in 2021 when she split from her Marvel actor husband Ioan Gruffudd, the father of her daughters Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11, and began acrimonious divorce proceedings. The goal set for the online fund has a target of $25,000. So far $8,792 has been raised over the past four years - including a flurry of donations topping $1,253 in the 24 hours since her renewed request for help. In a message on the platform, Alice wrote: 'I'm so embarrassed about this. If you're here you know my story. You know how much I struggle to keep my two girls healthy and happy and a roof over their heads. You know what I've been through. It never ends. 'I'm just getting squeezed in every which way and smeared in the media so that nobody even wants to employ me. 'I need help getting the girls and I to our next place. Moving costs and deposit. We have found such lovely little places - tiny, but they felt like home. We don't need much. I am selling most of my stuff and have jobs lined up to keep us on our feet. We just need that extra bit to get us over the finish line. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those of you who have shown me compassion and love and understanding. I will never, ever forget your kindness - every single one of you.' In court documents file this month Alice claimed that she, Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11, would soon be left on the streets because her financial situation is so 'dire'. She claims her former husband Ioan Gruffudd, is living in comfort in a $5,500-a-month apartment and a home gym while she and their two children cannot afford 'basic necessities'. Ioan, who starred in the Fantastic Four superhero movie, filed for divorce from Alice in March 2021, shortly after she announced on social media that her husband of 14 years was walking out on her and their children. Alice has been actively updating her social media amid the divorce, and on Wednesday night begged her 97,000 Instagram followers to 'please help her' and offer up any accommodation. Alongside a picture of her floorboards, she penned: 'I'm not doing well. I need help. Somebody please. I'm terrified.' The actress, 56, claimed in court documents this month that she, Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11, would soon be left on the streets following her divorce from Ioan Gruffudd (pictured in 2018) Legally Blonde actor Matthew Davis - who starred alongside Alice in The Vampire Diaries - was quick to comment, writing: 'Reach out anytime. I'm here for you.' Alice then shared another post that read: 'Four years of hell. And now the girls and I are going to be homeless. 'Somebody please help. I think I have reached rock bottom. 'In 16 days we have nowhere to go. Does anybody have a spare room? I'm so sorry for this. So embarrassed.' On her Instagram stories she reflected on the period since her split from Ioan. The former couple have been engaged in an increasingly bitter divorce which has been playing out in legal filings at the Los Angeles Superior Court. Alice wrote: 'I can't do this anymore. It's been over four years. Just me and the girls. Keeping them safe. Trying to provide for their every need. 'We have nowhere to live from June 1st. I'm so sorry for putting this on everyone but I am at my wit's end. 'I just want a safe place for me and the kids to call home. We have found some lovely little places but we need a co-signer. I'm desperate.' In court documents, Alice accused Ioan, 51, who married his second wife Bianca Wallace last month, of 'intentionally' turning down acting gigs to keep his income low during their split and avoid having to pay her more. She wrote that she has long been in a 'precarious' financial situation and has already applied for benefits to make ends meet.

I'm here for you' In September last year Ioan agreed to pay her $3,000 per month in child support and $1,500 a month in spousal support. But Alice claimed that her financial situation has become 'dire' because that $4,500 is not enough to live in Los Angeles. Even combined with her earnings from attending fan conventions - she starred in the 2011 TV series The Vampire Diaries, among other projects - was not enough. The money is 'insufficient to cover the children's and my basic necessities', Alice wrote in a 60-page court filing. During a hearing in March this year, Ioan claimed that he 'does not really believe I am really facing eviction' and secretly has enough money to pay for it, Alice wrote. She claimed: 'He went on to testify that I was faking eviction in an effort to make him look bad and negatively impact his public image, and even, quite bizarrely, to "increase Alice's personal exposure". 'Apart from the fact that this is simply untrue, it is both shocking and offensive that Petitioner would stoop to such a level as to accuse me of faking not only my own impending homelessness and level of poverty but that of the two children we share who he has chosen not to see in order to affect him in some way. I am astonished by his assertions'. Despite working constantly including teaching French, Italian, piano, tutoring actors and selling merch related to her career, Alice claimed she hasn't been able to pay her rent. She wrote that in January her landlord had begun eviction proceedings, known in the US as an unlawful detainer case. Alice wrote: 'I was pleased that we are able to come to an agreement that allows us to continue living at this apartment through June 1, 2025, so the children can continue in their current schools through the end of the school year. 'It is my belief that Petitioner is taking advantage of my dire financial situation in order to force me into agreeing to an overall settlement that is not in my best interests nor the best interests of our children'. Meanwhile, Ioan and Bianca have 'managed to upgrade to a more spacious apartment for just the two of them with a pool, a home gym and more natural light, for which they pay $5,500 per month', it is alleged. Alice claimed she appealed to Ioan for help being the co-signer on an apartment because her income is not high enough for most homes. But he rejected her requests, Alice said in the court documents, adding that she had contacted homeless shelters in Los Angeles but they are 'all full', in part due to the recent wildfires. 'Much as I hope to find a home for us, I need to be realistic and given that the date of June 1st is quickly approaching, I will probably have to place all of our belongings in storage and find a motel or similar temporary lodging for the children and I,' Alice wrote. 'It is incredibly scary - I have friends who have offered to put me and the girls up should we not find a place, but only for a week or two.' Alice also made claims about Ioan's acting career: his latest movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die grossed more than $403million worldwide but it is unclear how much he will get from it. According to Alice, Ioan once made more than $1million a year but has been turning away work on purpose. She claimed: 'I believe that Petitioner is intentionally not taking jobs because we are in the middle of litigating the financials of the dissolution of our marriage. 'I believe that he will go back to working regularly, and therefore earn additional income after the support orders are set'. A judge ordered that both sides attend court on August 2 for Ioan's application to renew a restraining order on Alice. In court documents Ioan said he will testify, as will Bianca and Linda Blank, who was one of the managers of both Ioan and Alice's fan clubs between 2016 and 2014. Ioan claimed that Alice has repeatedly breached the terms of the order, which was put in place in August 2022, including by barging into their child's school while he was having a meeting with a teacher - despite checking they had not booked an appointment at the same time. Another alleged incident happened in July 2020 when Ioan received panicked phone calls and text messages from his children, stating that their mother was 'openly consuming cocaine'. He added that while he was on a Facetime call he witnessed Alice attempt to give their daughters the Class A drug, the documents he filed in court say. It came after the children claimed their mother had left the door to their family home unlocked so a 'drug dealer could enter', the documents also say.

According to Alice, Ioan once made more than $1 million a year but has been turning away work on purpose. She claimed: 'I believe that Petitioner is intentionally not taking jobs because we are in the middle of litigating the financials of the dissolution of our marriage. 'I believe that he will go back to working regularly, and therefore earn additional income after the support orders are set'. A judge ordered that both sides attend court on August 2 for Ioan's application to renew a restraining order on Alice. In court documents Ioan said he will testify, as will Bianca and Linda Blank, who was one of the managers of both Ioan and Alice's fan clubs between 2016 and 2014. Ioan claimed that Alice has repeatedly breached the terms of the order, which was put in place in August 2022, including by barging into their child's school while he was having a meeting with a teacher - despite checking they had not booked an appointment at the same time. Another alleged incident happened in July 2020 when Ioan received panicked phone calls and text messages from his children, stating that their mother was 'openly consuming cocaine'. He added that while he was on a Facetime call he witnessed Alice attempt to give their daughters the Class A drug, the documents he filed in court say. It came after the children claimed their mother had left the door to their family home unlocked so a 'drug dealer could enter', the documents also say. Ioan's lawyers refused to comment when contacted by MailOnline.
