Ioan Gruffudd and Bianca Wallace Announce First Joint Baby Amid Divorce Fallout

You probably shouldn’t need me to spell this out, but let’s walk through the highlights: Ioan Gruffudd and his new wife, Bianca Wallace, are expecting their first child together—baby number three for the Fantastic Four star. On June 15, Gruffudd shared a chic black-and-white Instagram snap of him planting a kiss on Bianca’s growing bump, captioned cheekily, “Baby Gruffudd poppin’ out to say hello!”
Bianca, 32, didn’t shy away from the reality of her early pregnancy, responding candidly in the comments that the first trimester “has not been smooth, wtf is up with pregnancy?!” She added, “I am however in total and full remission and loving every single second of it.” Their fur baby, Bubba, apparently sensed the big news right away—Bianca gushed that the pup “spends a lot of time sleeping with his head on my belly” as if he’s already the ultimate sibling guardian.
Before you get swept away by all this bliss, here’s the context you might have missed: Ioan’s divorce from actress Alice Evans was finalized in 2023 after a public, messy split that began with Alice’s dramatic January 2021 post on X. She claimed Ioan “announced he is to leave his family, starting next week,” leaving her and their daughters, Ella (14) and Elsie (10), “very confused and sad.” In 2022, Alice won primary legal and physical custody and requested spousal support. Ioan fired back by filing a domestic violence restraining order, alleging false public accusations and threats to ruin his career—claims Alice firmly denied.
It was during that legal storm that Ioan crossed paths with Bianca. Their relationship began in 2021, blossomed quickly, and culminated in a sweet engagement in January 2024. Bianca shared a photo of her new sparkler and admitted it was “a super adorable shock.” Now, just months after their wedding, the couple is leaping into parenthood together.
This announcement also marks a fresh chapter for the Welsh actor, who’s balancing co-parenting his two daughters with turning the page on past conflicts. If you’ve been skimming celebrity headlines and wondered how Ioan multitasks divorce drama, Instagram-flirt alerts, and a forthcoming newborn all at once, well, now you finally understand. Glad I could clear that up for you.
