Ioan Gruffudd‘s fiancée Bianca Wallace has confirmed their relationship began in July 2021 – after years of skewed claims over their dramatic romance.
The couple’s relationship has been thwarted with drama after Ioan ended his 14 year marriage to Alice Evans, with whom he shares two daughters, in March 2021 before going public with his union with Bianca in October the same year.
Following the divorce filing, Alice, 55, launched a prolific and prolonged social media attack on the couple, which led to Ioan accusing her of child abuse.
In October 2021, when Ioan, 50, and Bianca, 31, went public, Alice alleged he had been seeing an unnamed, younger woman for three years – yet Bianca’s latest post, showing ‘our first photo’ – claims they got together in July 2021.
On Sunday, defiant Bianca shared the selfie showing her and Ioan in the south of France in late September 2021 – six months after his divorce filing from Alice and three months after the start of their relationship.

As well as claiming when they started their romance, she also made comments about the ‘pain, chaos and fire’ surrounding their union – in an apparent dig at Alice, who she recently claimed abused ‘thousands’ of victims.
She added a caption reading: ‘Our first photo; St. Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France, September 27th, 2021. Two days after I landed, both incredibly nervous and unsure of what our futures held…
‘Three months earlier, we realised there was something happening that we needed to eventually explore. Of course, we did not expect that to be so soon and in France!…
‘Universe had a different idea and pushed us together much sooner than we had planned. One month after this photo, 3 months into a very new relationship… Well, we all know what happened then!…
‘There’s something different and deeper, something so special about a relationship that is built within the midst of pain, chaos and fire…
‘We do see your messages! To everyone who knows what we have gone through, to those who have gone through it themselves and survived – How lucky are we? It’s a different kind of love and strength on the other side…
‘Thank you for seeing the truth and sharing your stories of survival, strength and love – A love that runs so deep that no amount of darkness can get in. Nothing but love over here’.
Her pointed post came just two days after Alice hit back at Bianca’s allegations of abuse. Alice claimed she has never abused anyone online, needs money to feed her children and will take legal action against her critics when she can afford to.

Bianca has recently launched an extraordinary attack on the actress, accusing her of ‘stalking, harassing and abusing’ Ioan.
Posting on Instagram, Alice posted screenshots of online trolls seemingly abusing her using a website called Tattle.
The mother-of-two said a woman ‘with a link to me’ – who she later refers to as her ‘ex-husband’s girlfriend’ – had posted on Instagram claiming ‘thousands of people’ had contacted her saying Alice ‘abused them’ – setting off ‘hundreds of angry’ women on Tattle’s site.
‘I’m fed up. I am a single mother who has my kids 100% of the time. I need to earn money to support them. Some of these angry women have gone as far as to contact my future employers and beg them to drop me,’ Alice wrote underneath the screenshots.

‘I have never abused anybody. I am one of the kindest people you could meet (many will attest to that) I will deal with the legal side of the unending trolling and lying about me when I have more money [and] my life is back on track.’
Alice added: ‘But please – if I have ”abused” you in any way, while we are working together or maybe as friends or even online…? Please tell me what happened. Now is your time to explain to my face exactly why you are so angry with me and why you contacted my ex-husband’s girlfriend instead of going to the police.
‘I don’t understand why ”thousands” of you would do that and honestly? I smell a rat.’ In the screenshots shared by Alice, apparent abusers can be seen writing: ‘You have no need to set the alarm… any day…
‘Also, scheming how to fleece every penny from your ex husband, figuring out how to con Judge Josh and continue to keep the two E’s alienated from a loving father shouldn’t be called ”niggly problems”. ‘

Welsh actor Ioan announced his engagement to Bianca in January.
Following their acrimonious separation Alice and Ioan have been locked in a very public legal battle, resulting in slanging matches that threatened to overshadow their respective careers.
Bianca recently claimed Alice had set up fake social media accounts with the purpose of harassing them after a restraining order banned her from mentioning him on social media.
In a series of Instagram posts, Bianca went on to share 4512 pages worth of social media posts in which Alice had mentioned her or Gruffudd as well as links to court documents detailing the three-year restraining order he took out against her as a result of the relentless posts.
In return, Alice said she was finally beginning to feel like herself again and thanked her fans for their ongoing support.
She said: ‘My life was uprooted with no warning in 2020. I didn’t react well. I applaud the people who do. But I’m intact. My girls are intact.’
Gruffudd now gets to see his daughters once a week in a new custody agreement after claiming his ex-wife stopped him from seeing them for a year.
