HOLLYWOOD star Ioan Gruffudd, 51, and his second wife Bianca, 32, have announced they’re expecting their first child together.
Welsh Ioan, who is already a dad to Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11 with his ex Alice Evans, shared the news on social media on Sunday.

Posting a sweet black and white photo of the pair, Ioan can be seen kissing Aussie Bianca’s blossoming baby bump.
In the caption, they wrote: “Baby Gruffudd poppin’ out to say hello!”
It comes more than two years after Ioan’s divorce from ex Alice Evans, with whom he shares two daughters.
The actor accused Alice of “child abuse” after their then 13-year-old daughter Ella filed a restraining order.
The victory over Ella and her younger sister Elsie came after a judge in Los Angeles granted Ioan’s demand for the appointment of a child psychologist.
Hollywood star Ioan first obtained a restraining order in 2022 against Alice.
Ioan blasted Alice for allegedly getting Ella to file her own restraining order against him – and for stopping their two daughters from going to therapy.
The actor said: “Although there is an order for the girls to attend therapy, Alice has repeatedly either refused to bring the girls or interfered with my bringing the girls to therapy.
“Since separation, the girls have missed more therapy session than they have attended and they have had multiple therapists.
“I believe Alice’s actions are child abuse and I am gravely concerned for our children.”
Alice denied abusing or harming her daughters.
He and Bianca went first public with their relationship in 2021.
The couple first announced their engagement back in January 2024.
The Fantastic Four star shared a beaming snap with Bianca on Instagram as they jointly announced their news.
Bianca flashed her engagement ring and a happy smile while Ioan took a selfie.
He revealed he was looking forward to giving marriage another go, captioning the photo on Instagram: “The most precious thing happened…”
