Ioan Gruffudd and Bianca Wallace have confirmed their engagement two years after they went public with their relationship and the Welsh actor split from his ex-wife, Alice Evans.
The 30-year-old took to Instagram to share the news, with the actress looking over the moon with a shiny engagement ring, that featured an emerald in its centre, on her finger with the newly engaged couple nearly kissing in the back garden of their shared home.

Good luck, Bianca."
In a piece written for MailOnline, Alice opened up further about her husband's alleged infidelity, writing: "Apparently the aspiring actress Bianca Wallace had worked on Ioan's Australian show, Harrow, as an extra. For at least the last two seasons," she wrote.
"My mouth went dry and I felt like I was going to throw up as I suddenly realised where she was: the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, where my husband was staying for his six-month French shoot."
Alice continued: "Then I got that feeling. The feeling nobody in a relationship — even one that's seen better days —wants to feel: My God. They are a couple. He has a girlfriend! But, he's my husband…"

My beloved husband/soulmate of 20 years, Ioan Gruffudd, has announced he is leaving his family, starting next week. Me and our young daughters are very confused and sad. We haven't been given a reason except that he 'no longer loves me'. I'm so sorry."
