Ioan Gruffudd Wins 5-Year Restraining Order Against Ex

In a significant court victory on Wednesday, March 5, 2026, Ioan Gruffudd secured a renewed five-year restraining order against his ex-wife, Alice Evans. The Los Angeles judge ruled that the order, initially granted in 2022, would be extended due to Evans's continued harassment.

During the seven-day trial, Gruffudd detailed years of online abuse directed at him and his current wife, Bianca Wallace. Evans admitted to posting denigrating content on social media, confessing she was 'ashamed and regretful.' However, the judge found her remorse unconvincing, noting multiple violations of the existing order.

The judge described Evans's actions as a 'concerted, focused, intentional and caustic campaign of denigration' that instilled fear for safety and isolated Gruffudd from his children. He specifically highlighted an incident where Evans allegedly threatened to 'Amber Heard' him in front of their daughters.

Evans's attorney argued that she had changed and deactivated her Twitter account, but the judge urged her to seek therapy, warning that further violations could lead to criminal prosecution. He also encouraged co-parenting efforts, as Gruffudd has not seen their daughters in two years.
