Actress Bianca Wallace has joyfully announced the arrival of her first child with husband Ioan Gruffudd, sharing the emotional moment with fans on Instagram. The 33-year-old star posted a tender photo of her and Ioan kissing in the hospital and revealed they are “completely and totally in love with our tiny little angel.”
The couple also confirmed their daughter’s name — Mila Mae Gruffudd, born on November 2, a whole month ahead of her due date. Bianca wrote that their pets, Bubba Bear and Rocky, were “absolutely smitten,” adding that she and Ioan were “extremely grateful this Thanksgiving.”
Bianca and Ioan, who first went public with their relationship in 2021 before getting engaged three years later, shared a rainbow-themed print of her umbilical cord as part of the intimate announcement.
Ioan, 51, is already father to daughters Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11, with ex-wife Alice Evans, from whom he separated over two years ago. Their split has spiralled into one of Hollywood’s most bitter and public legal battles, involving restraining orders and accusations over therapy and custody arrangements.
Weeks before giving birth, Bianca had broken her silence addressing Alice’s longstanding accusations that she and Ioan conducted a secret three-year affair. Bianca called the claims “pathetic” and “utterly ridiculous,” saying she had “ignored this narrative for nearly four years” but would no longer stay quiet after receiving disturbing threats aimed at her unborn baby.
She wrote that “absolutely no one will ever threaten my baby over a made-up story about an affair that literally never happened,” insisting that evidence under oath had already proven the allegations false.
Bianca also accused Alice of intentionally fuelling online abuse, saying the situation had become “completely manufactured drama” that needed to end. She added passionately: “My husband and I haven’t deserved one second of this, and now our unborn baby is being threatened and attacked. Absolutely no f*g way. I know I speak for so many people who have lived through this kind of abuse, lies and manipulation — we are all sick and tired of the b**t now.”
Despite the turmoil, Thursday’s announcement showed a different picture — a glowing new family, united in joy and determined to protect their daughter from the storm around them.
