From Passionate Kisses to Court Battles: Ioan Gruffudd's Love and Legal Drama

SCANDALOUS! Ioan Gruffudd's Love Life is a Hot Mess!

In a shocking turn of events, Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd, 51, was spotted getting cozy with his pregnant wife Bianca Wallace, 32, at the premiere of The Fantastic Four: First Steps in Los Angeles - a scene that eerily mirrors his PDA-filled appearance at the same event 20 years ago with his ex-wife Alice Evans!

But that's not all, folks! The drama doesn't stop there. Ioan and Alice, now 56, were once the epitome of Hollywood happiness, marrying in Mexico in 2007 after meeting on the set of 102 Dalmatians more than two decades ago. However, their love story took a dark turn when Ioan filed for divorce from Alice in March 2021.

The couple couldn't keep their hands off each other in the unearthed snap taken just two years before the pair tied the knot

Fast-forward to today, and it seems like things have only gotten messier. Alice is now asking Judge Josh Stinn to increase the $4,500 monthly child support and $1,500 spousal support that Ioan pays her, claiming poverty and begging for financial assistance from friends and even setting up a GoFundMe account that raised an astonishing $18,000 in donations!

But Ioan isn't having it. In court documents obtained by thescholarlynote.com, he alleges that Alice "purposely got herself evicted" to manipulate their divorce settlement and create a false narrative of financial distress. He even claims that she took the kids on a vacation trip to Europe to further her agenda!

And then there's the restraining order drama! Ioan sought and was granted a three-year domestic abuse restraining order against Alice in August 2022, citing "hateful text messages, emails, and social media posts" aimed at intimidating him and his new wife Bianca.

Alice has denied all allegations of harassment and stalking, stating that she's simply fighting for her rights as a single mother. But Ioan isn't backing down, set to return to court on August 1 with Bianca by his side to ask Judge Stinn to extend the restraining order - which is due to expire next month!

As the drama unfolds, it seems like these two former lovebirds are ready to duke it out in a battle royale for financial supremacy. Will Ioan come out on top, or will Alice get her way? Stay tuned for more updates from thescholarlynote.com!

Alice and Ioan are expected to face each other in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom Wednesday when Alice will ask Judge Josh Stinn to increase the $4,500 a month Ioan is currently paying

In her newest court filings, Alice pushed back against her husband's claims, claiming she never coerced her 15 and 11-year-old daughters to reach out to their dad and that they simply were aware of the financial situation and eviction

Ioan filed for divorce from Alice in March 2021, shortly after the actress announced on social media that her husband of 14 years was leaving her (pictured in 2015)
