Who is Ioan Gruffudd’s ex-wife? Actor claims Alice Evans mocked him for ‘saggy vagina eyes’
Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans are currently battling for the custody of their children amid a bitter divorce. The couple married each other in 2007 until he filed for divorce in March 2021, accusing Evans of domestic abuse. He even requested a restraining order in February 2022 and submitted 113 pages of abusive text messages, social media posts, and emails. Now, Gruffudd has filed for joint custody of his two daughters in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, July 8.
The 48-year-old actor filed the request seeking custody and visitation rights to see his children, Elsie, 8, and Ella, 12. Evans had previously filed for sole custody. The 'Fantastic Four' actor claimed in the filing that Evans, known for '102 Dalmatians', had deliberately tried to cut communication between him and the daughters. He also mentioned in the filing that Evans had demeaned their 14-year-long marriage and "undermined him in front of the girls throughout their lives." Gruffudd had previously shared that Evans wanted to pull an Amber Heard on him when he first told her of wanting a divorce. He said, "Alice told me verbally multiple times that she would do to me what Amber Heard did to Johnny Depp. Alice threatened to tell people I had abused her and our daughters; she threatened to call the police on me if I did not comply with her demands." He continued, "She threatened to write a fake diary that reflected an abused victim and to have the diary published, and she threatened to destroy my mother. Alice told me she would win, and everyone would believe her over me."

The court papers filed on Friday, July 8, read, "Alice made fun of my appearance often, making hair-loss comments and telling me I had 'saggy-vagina eyes,'" and that she has, "inflicted serious emotional harm on Ella and Elsie by her statements and by interfering in my relationship with them." The filing also reads that Evans allegedly told 8-year-old Elisa that she will be getting a "new daddy" soon. Gruffudd also revealed an incident in the petition saying, "In a FaceTime I had with the girls on March 3, Ella said Alice falsely told her that I wanted Alice to commit suicide, and that Ella probably would not have a mummy anymore. Ella told me, 'Daddy, this is making me very sad', and, 'if I don't agree with her', apparently 'I am a bad daughter.'" One Twitter shared some parts of the documents filed by Ioan Gruffudd saying, "***Thread of court documents filed today by Ioan Gruffudd for full custody*** PLEASE BE ADVISED THIS MAY CONTAIN PARTS THAT YOU MAY FIND DEEPLY UPSETTING."

Ioan Gruffudd is currently dating and living with his 30-year-old girlfriend Bianca Wallace in Los Angeles. In February 2022, he filed for a restraining order which requires Evans doesn't contact Gruffudd or his girlfriend. Gruffudd engaged Brad Pitt's divorce lawyer Anne Kiley to bring matters to a close and to file the order. The order is said to be carried for at least another year. He previously told the court that he once received a message from Evans about her girlfriend which read, "Find some financing then make whatever film you want. But don't take away everything you have because some vixen has your nuts between her veneers. PS: There is already betting on how long until she leaves you! PROPER BETTING! Now THAT'S famous."
