Marvel star Ioan Gruffudd expecting baby with Aussie wife Bianca after bitter divorce

Marvel star Ioan Gruffudd has shared some huge personal news after he secretly married an Aussie producer following a messy high-profile divorce.

Hollywood star Ioan Gruffudd, 51, and his second wife Bianca, 32, have announced they’re expecting their first child together.

The Welsh actor, who is already a dad to Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11 with his ex Alice Evans, shared the news on social media on Monday.

Posting a sweet black and white photo of the pair, Gruffudd can be seen kissing Aussie Bianca’s blossoming baby bump.

In the caption, they wrote: “Baby Gruffudd poppin’ out to say hello!”

It comes more than two years after Gruffudd’s divorce from ex Alice Evans, with whom he shares two daughters.

The actor accused Evans of “child abuse” after their then 13-year-old daughter Ella filed a restraining order.

The victory over Ella and her younger sister Elsie came after a judge in Los Angeles granted Gruffudd’s demand for the appointment of a child psychologist.

Gruffudd has been dating Aussie producer Bianca Wallace since 2021.

The couple were engaged in 2024.

Hollywood star Gruffudd first obtained a restraining order in 2022 against Evans.

Gruffudd blasted her for allegedly getting Ella to file her own restraining order against him – and for stopping their two daughters from going to therapy.

The actor said: “Although there is an order for the girls to attend therapy, Alice has repeatedly either refused to bring the girls or interfered with my bringing the girls to therapy.

“Since separation, the girls have missed more therapy session than they have attended and they have had multiple therapists.

“I believe Alice’s actions are child abuse and I am gravely concerned for our children.”

Evans denied abusing or harming her daughters.

He and Bianca went first public with their relationship in 2021.

The couple first announced their engagement back in January 2024.

The Fantastic Four star shared a beaming snap with Bianca on Instagram as they jointly announced their news.

Bianca flashed her engagement ring and a happy smile while Gruffudd took a selfie.

He revealed he was looking forward to giving marriage another go, captioning the photo on Instagram: “The most precious thing happened…”

The couple made it official in April this year when they secretly wed in a clifftop ceremony.

Taking to Instagram, they shared a video showing their romantic wedding ceremony.

Both captioned their updates: “Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.”
