Nearly one year after filing for divorce, Ioan Gruffudd has filed for a domestic violence restraining order against his estranged wife Alice Evans. According to court documents, the 48-year-old actor filed the form of protection, which requests Evans to have no contact with him and to stay at least 100 yards away from him and his girlfriend, actress Bianca Wallace. Gruffudd and Evans – who met on the set of 102 Dalmatians in 2000 – married in 2007 and welcomed kids Ella and Elsie before their separation in January 2021. In Gruffudd's petition, he noted the date of separation as "on or around January 1, 2021," adding that he filed for dissolution of marriage on March 1. Additionally, the actor said that he told Evans was "unhappy" the year before, in August 2020, with Evans stating that if he "left her, she would make false public accusations about me, sell false stories about me to the press, and destroy me and my career."
