Ioan Gruffudd first broke the movie industry, playing Harold Lowe in the James Cameron-directed Titanic. The role brought him much acclaim and also handed him roles in hits like Hornblower, King Arthur, and Fantastic Four. Gruffudd's career reached its height in 2000s, but since a last few year, following what many believe was his personal matters tainting his public image, Gruffudd hasn't had much work like before.  

Born on October 6, 1973, in Aberdare, Ion kickstarted his acting journey as a preteen, starting from Welsh television, and theatre, to expanding his repertoire to Hollywood. Throughout his successful life in the public eye, Gruffudd has had several relationships, one of which led to marriage.

Ioan's personal life has been garnering all the attention and that too, for all the wrong reason. The Hornblower actor, who turned 50 last year, is gearing up to walked down the aisle again, only a year after he finalized his divorce from his first wife, English-Amercian actress Alice Evans.

Gruffudd met Evans, best known for her credits in Highlander, The Mentalist, and Grimm, while filming for the 2000 crime comedy, 102 Dalmatians. The duo started shortly after their meet-cute and spent a significant time together before finally deciding on each other for life.  

The King Arthur actor and his then-bride, Evans, exchanged their vows on September 14, 2007, at a dreamy ceremony in Mexico. The couple welcomed two kids, Ella, and Elsie, over the course of their 13-year-long marriage. The first time the media gained the sense of the trouble in the duo's paradise was when Gruffudd got candid about in 2020.  

While confessing to a rough patch in his marriage, Gruffudd revealed how he and Evans had been struggling to keep their life afloat for the past few years. The long-married couple announced their separation in early 2021 and Gruffudd filed for divorce in March of the year. The pair's separation process has been nothing but a long, bitter, and public collapse of a once happy family.

It was Evans, who, in a scorned frame of mind, made a tweet that not only affected Ioan's image, but also put her intense media scrutiny for airing their dirty laundry. "My beloved husband/soulmate of 20 years, Ioan Gruffudd, has announced he is to leave his family, starting next week," Evans' smearing tweet read.

She further added, "Me and our young daughters are very confused and sad." The 102 Dalmatians actress wrote that Gruffudd didn't give her a plausible reason as to why he was ending things with her, except for "he 'no longer loves me.' I'm so sorry."  

Things only got worse from thereon after Alice's tweet disappeared from the platform and the actress later blamed it on her ex-husband. "I didn't delete the tweet from a few hours ago about him leaving. He did. And hell, yes when I am being gaslit and mentally tortured then hell yes, I will wash my linen in public, read the follow-up tweet. 

Although it seems that the duo's marriage had just run its course, there has been rumors of infidelity on Gruffudd's part. The Fantastic Four star's budding romance with Bianca Wallace, who is now his fiancé, also surfaced around the same time. 

While most celebrities opt to manage break-ups with grace and conscious decision-making, Gruffudd and Alice's case has been a haphazard approach. It seems the King Aruthur actor has also strained his relationship with his kids because he couldn't handle the situation any better.  

Amid his divorce from Evans, Ioan's daughter, Ella, filed for a restraining order against her father's young girlfriend after claiming that Wallace "slammed" a door on her. More ruckus ensued after Ioan filed a domestic violence restraining order against Evans to protect his girlfriend. The estranged couple were granted divorce for "irreconcilable differences" in July 2023.
