EXCLUSIVE: Alice Evans and Ioan Gruffudd’s bitter divorce takes ANOTHER messy twist as she accuses him of leaving her so poor she can’t ‘afford to feed their children’ and has to go on food stamps – while he ‘buys Rolexes and diamonds’
Actress Alice Evans’ messy split from her actor ex Ioan Gruffudd has taken another shock twist today as she accused her former spouse of not paying any child support since May – claiming that she has been left in such dire financial straits that she can’t afford to ‘put food on the table’ and will be forced to go on food stamps.
In legal documents filed by 55-year-old Evans’ lawyers on July 1 – which have been obtained by DailyMail.com – the mother-of-two states that she has ‘100 per cent’ custody of her and Gruffudd’s two daughters, Ella, 14, and Elsie, 10, but that she has received no financial support from him since their custody agreement was settled two months ago.
Just weeks after the couple finally reached an agreement in their divorce, Evans says she is ‘struggling to put food on the table’, while she insists her former husband, 50 – who is currently engaged to partner Bianca Wallace – is ‘jetting around the world’ and living a ‘lavish lifestyle’.
‘While I am struggling to put food on the table for the children, Ioan is jet setting around the world,’ she states in the documents.
She claims that he has bought new Rolex watches for himself and his fiancé Bianca and has been on a global press tour for the latest Bad Boys film, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, while she is about to go on food stamps.
Evans references ‘stories in the media’ that indicate her former spouse ‘purchased an expensive engagement ring for his fiancée’, alleging that he and Wallace also ‘recently purchased new Rolex watches’.
At the time of publication of this story, both Gruffudd and Wallace’s Instagram accounts had been removed from public view – however a May 2024 post shared by Wallace showed her sporting what appears to be a green Rolex watch.
It is unclear if this is the watch Evans is referring to in court documents.
However, as a result of her ex’s so-called ‘lavish lifestyle’, she is asking the court to require Gruffudd to pay spousal and child support to her, until their financial trial.
