Bianca Wallace shows off her baby bump in a tiny crochet bikini after announcing she is expecting her first child with Ioan Gruffudd

Daily Mail​a day ago

Bianca Wallace has shared a first look at her baby bump, posing in a tiny crochet bikini.
The Aussie actess, 32, revealed earlier this month that she is expecting her first child with husband Ioan Gruffudd, 51.
Bianca basked in the sunshine over the weekend, proudly displaying her bump in a pale pink two piece adorned with shells.
Sitting on the beach, a beaming Bianca captioned the snap 'I don't care about nothing.'
Bianca and Fantastic Four actor Ioan shared the exciting news about their pregnancy this month, posting a sweet black and white photo of Ioan kissing his wife's growing baby bump.
'Baby Gruffudd poppin' out to say hello!' the caption read.
In April, Ioan and Bianca took to their respective Instagrams to share a video of them tying the knot in a romantic ceremony, captioning their posts: 'Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.'
Set to Martin Arteta's track Past Lives, the video shows the pair saying their vows in front of an idyllic backdrop with a stunning sea view.
The pair, who went public with their relationship in October 2021, looked happier than ever.
Their happy moment comes following Ioan's messy split with Alice Evans.
Ioan and Alice Evans formally divorced in July 2023. However, they are still battling fiercely over spousal support and custody and financial support for their two daughters Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11.
At the September 9 court hearing, Judge Josh Freeman Stinn signed off on a stipulated agreement in which Ioan pays $3,000 a month temporary child support and $1,500 a month temporary spousal support until another February 13 hearing where a more permanent support arrangement was to be forged.
Ioan planned to call his then fiancée Bianca as a witness at the February hearing to testify that his ex wife 'stalked, harassed and abused' her, repeatedly violating a three-year domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) which she and Ioan took out in August 2022, after enduring a 'smear campaign' of hateful text messages, emails and social media posts from her.
Ioan claims that Alice 'engaged in a pattern of damaging and defamatory conduct against me, aimed at intimidating and harassing me and my fiancé, Bianca Wallace, while alienating our two young children from me.'
Ioan – whose latest movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die has grossed more than $403 million worldwide – has fought Evans' demands for more money, claiming he's paid some $400,000 more in spousal support that he needed to under their pre-marital agreement.
In earlier court papers, he called her claims of poverty 'exaggerated' and said it's a 'false narrative' that she and the children have been left destitute.
The former couple met on the set of the movie 102 Dalmatians more than 20 years ago. They fell in love in real life and were married in Mexico in 2007.
Ioan filed for divorce in March 2021, shortly after Alice announced on social media that her husband of 14 years was walking out on her and their two daughters.
Meanwhile, in February this year, Alice revealed she's being evicted from her LA home after being 'unable to pay her rent'.
The actress wrote on Instagram that she and her daughters have 'no way of renting even the cheapest room in the city' after being beset by financial woes amid her bitter court battle with ex-husband Ioan.
Sharing a sweet throwback snap with her two daughters, Alice shared that she is like many others in Los Angeles trying to find a new place to live after the city was devastated by fires in January.
Alice was thought to be renting a home in California with her two children after her bitter divorce from Ioan.
Earlier this month, she created her own Divorce fundraiser, setting up a GoFundMe which has so far raised $18,828, but admitted she was 'so embarrassed' to have to do so.
But in a positive update recently shared on Instagram, Alice revealed that she, her daughters and her dog Emma now have a 'roof over their heads' and had retained their possessions after worrying she would lose them as she thanked fans for donating.

MAFS Australia star announces huge career move as they eye up UK

Though his MAFS marriage with Jamie Marinos hasn't panned out, Dave Hand is looking ahead and planning for his future - his plans even include a huge move abroad. Dave Hand is ready for his next chapter and reality TV fans will be relieved - the Aussie hunk is ready to take on more projects on the small screen, both on his turf and abroad. Since leaving Married At First Sight Australia, Dave Hand has had to get to grips with life after reality TV. 'It's definitely a lot harder than I expected,' he says, 'You're not only thrown into TV and popularity, it's like a whole new world. Like learning to walk again.' ‌ New to the spotlight, Dave didn't anticipate how fame would affect his everyday life. 'It plays out in everything you do,' he says. 'You go out for coffee, you're taking photos with somebody. Or you're walking down the street and people are asking you for advice.' ‌ Audiences saw a man entering the MAFS experiment with real intention. But behind his calm exterior, his father Howard was battling cancer. 'A lot of people connected with me through my dad's sickness,' Dave says. 'Cancer is a hell of a disease and it's an eye-opener because you don't realise how many people are going through it. It's really nice to hear people's stories.' His ability to connect has even made him crave more TV projects - he's even considering a big move to the UK. 'I want to get to the UK, probably later in the year," Dave says. "I'd love to do some reality TV over there.' But reality TV comes with backlash, and Dave, 36, has experienced both the highs and lows of fan attention. 'On one side, you've got really nice, heartwarming messages and on the other, you've got someone who's so immature,' Dave says. 'They choose to be mean rather than spread kindness and love. I don't understand it.' ‌ The trolls aren't the only thing frustrating him. The off-screen drama between his castmates has left Dave disappointed. MAFS' latest series was one of the most explosive yet – with Ryan Donnelly and Jacqui Burfoot's feud spiralling into applications for restraining orders and off-camera rows erupting between other participants. 'The cast members should be looking after one another after the show. And you have people acting ridiculously towards each other. It's a damn shame,' Dave sighs. 'Adrian [Araouzou] said some things about me and he copped it from the public. I feel sorry for him,' Dave says. 'But in the meantime, he's attacking me. This isn't the way the group should be handling it. It's quite scary. ‌ 'We should be backing each other at this time and we've dropped the ball completely. We could have been standing up to the bad comments together.' Now, Dave's focus is on who matters most – his father. 'The tumours my dad had on the show had shrunk – but they've come back pretty quickly,' he says, sadly. 'He's on a new drug trial now. Only 200 people in the world are on it. Dad says, 'If I can help somebody, I'm going to give this a crack.'' ‌ But Dave doesn't sugarcoat it. 'Dad's been fighting it for five years and now it's taken a toll on him. He's a bit frail and now he's got to go into battle again.' As for dating? He's in no rush. In fact, he's more focused on mental health advocacy. 'Mental health issues and depression have been in my family, I've witnessed it, I've lived it,' he says. 'But I've processed it, I deal with it and I know what works for me. I can help others with that. I want to get the message across that the sad days don't stick. I'd like to be a role model for kids. I want to start a charity one day.'

Meet footy's new power couple: Two stars from the same AFL club make their romance Instagram official - and there's a twist

Footy's new power couple has been revealed after Richmond stars Monique Conti and Rhyan Mansell went public with their romance. Conti - who previously dated one-time Tigers young gun Sydney Stack - posted the news on Monday via an Instagram story. The midfielder is one of the AFLW's most recognisable players, having won a premiership with the Western Bulldogs in 2018 as she was voted best on ground in the grand final. Following her move to Punt Road in 2020, Conti, 25, was crowned AFL Women's best and fairest player in 2023. She is also an accomplished basketballer, having played in the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) dating back to 2016. Conti has been on the books of Geelong United since 2024 - and previously said juggling both sports provides her with life balance. Conti is also an accomplished basketballer, having played in the Women's National Basketball League dating back to 2016 (pictured, playing for the Melbourne Tigers) 'I don't think I ever sit still. I would go crazy if I did,' she said. 'I like to be go, go, go all the time. I think that's what makes me. I wouldn't be the same if I was sitting still. 'So yeah, I go from one to the other to keep me going and that's the way I like it.' Conti and Stack got matching tattoos when they were together, and their relationship was the first public romance between an AFL player and AFLW player. Mansell, 25, is a promising small forward who grew up in Tasmania and was previously engaged. Earlier this season Mansell - who joined Richmond in 2021 - was suspended for three matches for pushing St Kilda's Liam O'Connell into a marking contest. The ban was a talking point with footy fans - and Tigers coach Adam Yze felt Mansall was hard done by. 'The hardest thing is he would probably do it again if we were training,' a bemused Yze said in April. 'It's a brutal game and a tough game. I'll say it comes to protecting players, I think we are getting better at it.

BREAKING NEWS Channel Nine confirms veteran will make a sensational return to TV after quitting radio gig

Channel Nine has confirmed Deborah Knight will be stepping away from her role on 2GB's Money News and returning to a full-time television role at the network. The seasoned journalist is set to take on the role of presenter for the national 9News Morning bulletin at 11:30am each weekday from July 21. The 52-year-old will also present 9News Afternoon each weekday in Sydney and will continue to host A Current Affair on Saturday night. 'I'm incredibly excited to be stepping back into a full-time television role with 9News and Current Affairs,' Deb said. 'It's a fantastic opportunity to be part of the daily news cycle and connect with viewers during these important bulletins. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I've thoroughly enjoyed my time in radio, particularly hosting Money News, and I'm grateful for the wonderful listeners who tuned in. I'm also very pleased to continue hosting A Current Affair on Saturday nights.' Deb's final show on 2GB will be on Thursday, with a new host set to be announced in the coming weeks. National Content Manager of Nine Radio Greg Byrnes acknowledged her contribution to radio. 'Deb has been an integral part of the 2GB on-air team since 2020, but her ties to talk radio stretch back much further,' he said. 'Nationally, the Money News program with Deb as host, has recorded some of its best ratings on record and she finishes up as No. 1 overall in Sydney. We'll miss Deb on and off the air but as she's remaining in the Nine family she'll never be too far away.' Deb's exit from 2GB will leave the Sydney station without any female presenters during the weekday daytime lineup. She first joined 2GB's afternoon program in 2020, reportedly on a $600,000 salary, before being moved off the role in late 2023 due to disappointing ratings. At the time, the broadcaster was said to be 'shattered' by the decision. Despite the shake-up, Knight quickly bounced back, taking over Money News in November 2023 in a revamped 7pm-8pm slot. And it didn't take long for her to prove the doubters wrong. Knight helped drive Money News to a 13.3 per cent share in the latest ratings survey -ranking her number one in the country for the timeslot, and more than doubling the show's audience in Queensland, where it's also broadcast on Brisbane's 4BC. The program also recorded a 0.6 point increase in the latest survey, contributing to 2GB's strongest ratings result of the year.
