Tense Courtroom Drama: Ioan Gruffudd vs. Alice Evans in High-Stakes Divorce Dispute
SPOILER ALERT: The Most Epic Celebrity Feud You've Ever Seen
In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood's most dramatic couple, Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans, faced off in a Los Angeles courtroom yesterday - but this time, there were no fireworks! No tantrums, no slammed doors, no cell-phone photos taken by the scorned ex. Nope, this was a tame affair, folks!
But don't get it twisted; the sparks are still flying between these two warring former lovers. The tension was palpable as they sat on opposite sides of the courtroom, deliberately avoiding eye contact like a couple in a bad marriage (which, spoiler alert, they were).
The drama began when Alice Evans, 56, and Ioan Gruffudd, 51, clashed over his spousal support payments for their two daughters. Alice claimed poverty and filed court documents stating she was so broke she had to borrow money from friends and set up a GoFundMe account that raked in $18,000 in donations. Talk about a cry for help!
But Ioan wasn't buying it. In his own court filing, he accused Alice of "purposely getting herself evicted... intentionally ceasing paying rent and instead taking the children on a vacation trip to Europe." Ouch! He also claimed that subpoenaed bank records showed she made over $130,000 in 2024 and is expected to earn a similar amount this year. Not exactly the picture of financial destitution, if you ask me!
So, what's going on here? It seems Alice wants Ioan to cough up more than the $4,500 he's currently paying in support money for their daughters, Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11. But Ioan is having none of it! He's fighting his ex's cash demands tooth and nail.
In a bizarre twist, Alice has also claimed that Ioan's new wife, Bianca Wallace, 32 (who was seated three rows behind him in court, looking noticeably pregnant), has been manipulating their minor children to send plaintive messages to their father about their impending homelessness. Talk about a family feud for the ages!
Ioan, of course, denies this and says he's "mortified" by the stress messages from his kids. It seems like these two are trying to outdo each other in the drama department!
In the end, Judge Josh Stinn decided to kick the can down the road, scheduling another hearing for August 12 when a date will be set for the case to go to trial.
This is far from over, folks! The battle between Ioan and Alice will continue, and we'll be watching with bated breath. Stay tuned!
