Ioan Gruffudd and girlfriend Bianca Wallace are engaged nearly three years after Gruffudd’s tumultuous divorce from Alice Evans commenced.
“The most precious thing happened… ❤️💍,” Wallace wrote via Instagram Saturday.
The actress included a photo of the two smiling post-kiss as she flashed the multi-stone sparkler.
The “Fantastic Four” star and Wallace went public with their relationship in October 2021, seven months after Gruffudd filed for divorce from Evans, 55.
The two have been navigating Gruffudd’s messy split from Evans — with whom he shares two children — throughout their relationship.
Hours after Gruffudd, 50, and Wallace, 31, went public with their relationship, Evans accused her ex-husband of having a three-year-long affair with her former gal pal.
“So it turns out that my husband, after two years of telling me I’m a bad person and I’m not exciting and he no longer want so to have sex with me and he just wants to be on set abroad…Has been in a relationship for THREE years behind all our backs,” Evans claimed.
“Good luck, Bianca.”

Before that, the “Lost” actress accused Gruffudd of leaving his family in a since-deleted tweet.
“Sad news. My beloved husband/soulmate of 20 years, Ioan Gruffudd, has announced he is to leave his family, starting next week,” she claimed.
“Me and our young daughters girls are very confused and sad. We haven’t been given a reason except that he ‘no longer loves me.’”
At one point, she also accused Wallace of having a “lack of empathy.”
In February 2022, Gruffudd filed a restraining order against Evans, claiming that the actress threatened to “make false public accusations” against him and “destroy his career” should he leave her.
“Alice threatened to tell people I had abused her and our daughters,” the petition, obtained by Page Six, claimed.
The documents filed by Gruffudd also alleged that Evans “threatened to call the police on me if I did not comply with her demands … threatened to tell people I am a drug addict and put me in prison … threatened to write a fake diary that reflected an abused victim, and to have the diary published; and … threatened to destroy my mother.”
Gruffudd was granted a three-year restraining order against Evans as the two continued to battle it out over child custody.
The pair were deemed legally divorced in July 2023, but have not yet settled.
Gruffudd’s relationship with Wallace didn’t appear to go over smoothly with his children, either.
In June 2023, Gruffudd’s eldest daughter filed a restraining order against her father and claimed he abused her.
She even accused him of slamming a door on her head during a heated argument.
However, her request was denied.
Evans has seemingly moved on from the drama, as in August 2023, she said she was in love but declined to reveal with whom because “life has taught” her “to be cautious.”
“I am SO in love right now and cannot believe I only felt this level of intense love at 55,” she added.
