Ioan Gruffudd's wife Bianca Wallace reveals brutal reality of her pregnancy after his ex-Alice Evans shares reaction to their baby news: 'Some kind of torture'
's wife, Bianca Wallace, has shared a brutally honest account of her difficult pregnancy journey. The Australian actress, 32, who is expecting her first child with the Fantastic Four star, 51, took to Instagram to share a raw photo diary and series of emotional videos documenting what she described as 'some kind of torture' during her first trimester. 'Life lately… Some real moments, because no one needs to be as shocked as I was to find out how f**ked pregnancy actually is,' she wrote, alongside 13 images and videos detailing weeks of intense morning sickness and physical pain. In one confronting clip, Bianca is seen lying in bed with a heat pack, grimacing in pain as she describes how constant vomiting left her bedridden and unable to sleep. She revealed she vomited so violently she threw her back out for four days, and shared a snap of herself looking pale and drained after throwing up 67 times in one day.

The Australian actress, 32, who is expecting her first child with the Fantastic Four star, 51, took to Instagram to share a raw photo diary and series of emotional videos documenting what she described as 'some kind of torture' during her first trimester In another photo, she is seen clutching a bowl of cornflakes - one of the only foods she could stomach for weeks. The post was both a personal confession and a public service announcement. She reassured others who may be experiencing similarly rough pregnancies, writing: 'You're not crazy! More often than not it isn't just nausea and "morning sickness". It IS sh*t and rough and f**ked and it IS ok to be honest about it!' Her pregnancy update comes just over a week after Bianca and Ioan announced they were expecting their first child together, posting a sweet black-and-white image of the actor kissing his wife's baby bump. 'Baby Gruffudd poppin' out to say hello!' they captioned the snap, which was met with an outpouring of love from fans and celebrity friends. But while the couple's news delighted many, it appeared to trigger a scathing response from Ioan's ex-wife Alice Evans, 55, who shared her own cryptic post following the announcement. Without naming the couple, Alice wrote: 'Some people like to go low. I can't. Not because I'm better. But because I have kids. This s**t is some kind of torture.' The post sparked speculation among fans that it was a veiled dig at her ex and his new wife, reigniting tensions from the pair's bitter public split. Ioan and Alice finalised their divorce in July 2023 but remain locked in a fiery legal battle over spousal and child support for their two daughters, Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11. Court documents have detailed years of alleged abuse, online harassment, and restraining orders. Bianca was previously granted a three-year domestic violence restraining order against Alice, with Ioan claiming his ex had embarked on a 'smear campaign' against them. Despite the drama, Ioan and Bianca have pressed on with their life together, sharing footage in April of their low-key wedding ceremony with the caption: 'Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.' Ioan, who currently stars in Bad Boys: Ride or Die, which has grossed over $400 million globally, has denied Alice's claims that she and their children have been left destitute, saying he's paid over $400,000 more than required under their prenup. Meanwhile, Alice recently revealed she had been evicted from her Los Angeles home, later launching a GoFundMe campaign to help her find housing. 'Thanks to all of you, my girls and I and Emma [the family dog] have a roof over our heads,' she said in a recent update, thanking supporters for their donations. While Ioan and Bianca continue to navigate the highs and lows of pregnancy – and public scrutiny – the couple appear focused on their growing family, with Bianca finishing her post on a lighter note, sharing that her dog Bubba has become her 'protector' through it all. 'This week… Bubba's still taking his protector job very seriously,' she wrote, sharing an adorable image of the pup curled up next to her baby bump.

New twist in Ioan Gruffud's battle with ex-wife Alice Evans that speaks volumes about their relationship... despite her best wishes for his new family
Actor Ioan Gruffud claims that his ex-wife Alice Evans has breached her restraining order '5,000 times' in the past three years - and is seeking to have her permanently gagged from talking about him and banned from ever contacting him or his new wife at a hearing in August. The Fantastic Four actor, who announced at the weekend that he and new wife Bianca Wallace are expecting a baby, filed documents at court last month.

How Ioan Gruffudd's baby bombshell sparked hell for ex Alice Evans ‘rubbing salt in wound' as she fights homelessness
HOLLYWOOD star Ioan Gruffudd delighted fans on Father's Day as he kissed wife Bianca's blossoming baby bump in a silhouette portrait that revealed he is becoming a dad again. But the joyous photograph has caused fresh turmoil for his 'fuming' ex Alice Evans, with concerned pals saying it has 'rubbed salt in the wounds' after her battle to avoid homelessness with their two kids. 8 8 8 Since the couple's messy break-up four years ago, the 56-year-old actress has railed bitterly against Fantastic Four star Ioan, 51, resulting in one of the most public and vicious divorce battles in showbiz. And while he has continued to find work and moved on with new wife Bianca Wallace, who he married earlier this year, Alice has resorted to begging fans for cash on crowdfunding websites as her savings dry up. A source close to the mum of two said of Ioan's very public pregnancy announcement: 'Alice will be absolutely fuming over this. 'She's made no secret of the fact she's destitute looking after the two kids, so to have him rub how well he's doing in her face is a real gut-punch. 'For Ioan to not only break the news like that, but do it on Father's Day . . . it's yet another horribly upsetting saga for her to deal with.' Since their 2023 divorce, the former sweethearts' relationship has deteriorated further in public and played out painfully in the courts. Ioan won a restraining order against Alice following a string of social media posts she made about him, including a claim he told her 'he would leave if I gained weight'. 'Asking if anyone had a spare room' He, in turn, accused his ex of 'child abuse' for allegedly not taking his daughters to all their therapy sessions. Relations were so strained that their eldest girl Ella, then 13, applied for a restraining order against him, which was denied by a judge. While Welshman Ioan's career has continued to flourish — seeing him starring in Will Smith's Bad Boys comeback last year — Alice has not made a film or TV show since 2018. Ioan Gruffudd marries Bianca Wallace two years after bitter divorce from Alice Evans amid custody battle In February, she claimed she and her children would end up homeless in Los Angeles. She has relied on the kindness of fans, launching a crowdfunding appeal on the GoFundMe website and asking if anyone had a 'spare room'. Earlier this month, Alice complained that 'nobody even wants to employ me'. But this month, having collected nearly £14,000 in donations, she finally managed to find a new place to live. While Alice has struggled as a single mother, Ioan's social media paints a very different picture of his life. If you were to glance at his Instagram, you would think things were perfect with wife Bianca. They frequently post images of themselves smiling and laughing together in swanky locations. Last month, they shared a video of their intimate wedding, with the pair sipping champagne just after sunset. And yesterday, actress Bianca, 32, wrote, 'Baby Gruffudd poppin' out to say hello!' next to the image of Ioan kissing her bump. Our source added: 'Alice knows every baby is a blessing, and as a devoted mother herself, she understands how joyous a first baby is. But this will cut her deep. 'Her kids are her top priority and to her, this just looks like they're moving lower down the pecking order.' Alice certainly has had little to smile about. Her social media messages often talk about the 'hate' against her online and going 'through hell' over the past few years. And work has been tough to come by. Alice, who was born in the US but grew up in Bristol, has taken to earning money by offering personal videos to fans via the Cameo website. Other than that, her main income stream seems to be from appearances at conventions for her old TV shows including The Vampire Diaries and Lost. Both Ioan and Alice have been highly successful performers, starring in big-budget productions, so her financial struggles have come as a surprise to fans. The couple met while making 2000 Disney movie 102 Dalmations with Glenn Close. 8 8 8 But the cost of paying lawyers in their long-running divorce proceedings has left the coffers drained. Alice noted: 'If you don't know divorce court, you simply cannot know how much money is wasted.' With rents rising, and her facing losing her previous home in Los Angeles earlier this year, Alice said she had nowhere to go with her daughters Ella and Elsie, 11. She wrote: 'We may be on the verge of being thrown out of our current home but I am working like heck to stop it happening and to keep my girls happy and healthy.' The actress had worried she would end up without a roof over her head or in temporary accommodation. Now, the sight of her ex-husband kissing Bianca's bump will no doubt sour her joy over securing a place to live. It has been obvious since Hornblower star Ioan told Alice in January 2021 he 'no longer loves her' that this was the opposite of an amicable break-up. She told followers on social media that 'I will wash my linen in public' — and she has been true to her word. Alice spoke about her pain and claimed that Ioan 'is always angry — he was born angry'. When he went public about his relationship with Australian Bianca in October 2021, Alice struck back, accusing her estranged husband of being unfaithful. There was no proof, though, that he had cheated on Alice with his new partner. In the face of constant accusations from Alice, Ioan filed for a restraining order in February 2022. 8 8 The actor claimed she had harassed him with hundreds of text messages and abusive emails. In the court documents, Ioan alleged: 'Alice threatened to tell people I had abused her and our daughters; she threatened to call the police on me if I did not comply with her demands. 'She threatened to tell people I am a drug addict and put me in prison; she threatened to write a fake diary that reflected an abused victim, and to have the diary published.' In August 2022, Ioan persuaded a judge to issue a three-year restraining order against Alice, which prevented her from making social media posts against him and Bianca. She was twice accused of breaching it, but charges were dropped. Their battle for custody over their two daughters, who were conceived using IVF, also turned very nasty. Alice wants sole custody, while Ioan has pushed for joint custody. Ella's application for a restraining order against her dad in 2023 involved claims that Bianca had 'slammed a door on her' during a visit. A couple of months later, though, her case was dismissed by a judge and Ioan responded by claiming that it was Alice who was harming their children's welfare. He said: 'Alice has continued to inflict serious emotional harm on Ella and Elsie by her statements and by interfering in my relationship with them.' The divorce did come through, but the custody battle rolls on. It is understandable that Ioan and Bianca are excited about their baby news. Bianca was diagnosed with aggressive multiple sclerosis in 2019, which left her unable to pick up a pen and fearing she would be left unable to walk. A source close to Ioan added: 'Ioan's only wish is to spend more time with his children, and he's already gone to court to fight for them. 'Despite Alice's efforts to freeze him out, he wants nothing more than to keep them in his life and out of this sad tug of war.'

EXCLUSIVE Alice Evans claims she will be homeless in weeks due to 'dire' financial situation amid bitter divorce with Ioan Gruffudd
Ioan Gruffudd 's ex-wife has claimed, in court documents, she will be homeless in three weeks because her financial situation is so 'dire'. Alice Evans claimed that the Welsh actor 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'. Alice, 56, a British American actress, claims she will be on the streets by June 1st because she cannot pay her rent and all the shelters in Los Angeles are full. She accuses 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. 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. 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. Since then 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. In her latest court claim, Alice writes that she has long been in a 'precarious' financial situation and has already applied for benefits to make ends meet. Alice and Ioan formally divorced in July 2023 [pictured in 2016] 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 claims 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 writes 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 writes. She claims: '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 claims she hasn't been able to pay her rent. She writes that in January her landlord began eviction proceedings, known in the US as an unlawful detainer case. By June 1st Alice will have to be out of the home she and her two children with Ioan live in, she claims. She writes: '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 claims 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 says in the court documents, adding that she has 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 writes. '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'. 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.' Alice also makes claims about Ioan's acting career: his latest movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die has grossed more than $403 million worldwide but it is unclear how much he will get from it. According to Alice, Ioan once made more than $1 million a year but has been turning away work on purpose. She claims: '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 has ordered that both sides attend court on August 2nd for Ioan's application to renew a restraining order on Alice. In court documents Ioan says 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 claims 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.
