Ioan Gruffudd, former Mister Fantastic, attends Fantastic Four premiere with pregnant wife Bianca Wallace
Ioan Gruffudd was all smiles as he attended the world premiere of Fantastic Four: First Steps in Los Angeles on Monday, accompanied by his pregnant wife, Bianca Wallace. The Welsh actor, 51, who played Mister Fantastic in the 2005 Fantastic Four film, looked proud and affectionate as he cradled Wallace's baby bump while posing on the blue carpet. The couple, who tied the knot in April 2025, appeared radiant as they arrived at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Gruffudd wore a classic black suit with a crisp white shirt, while 32-year-old Wallace stunned in a strapless grey midi dress with black accessories. Gruffudd's presence at the event marked a full-circle moment, as he showed support for the latest reboot of the superhero franchise in which he once starred. The 2005 version, also starring Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis, grossed over $330 million worldwide and led to a 2007 sequel. The 2025 reboot marks the franchise's first integration into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is set in a retro-futuristic 1960s-inspired world, aligning with the comic's original tone. Despite ongoing legal proceedings involving his former spouse Alice Evans, Gruffudd appeared upbeat and focused on celebrating the film's release with his new partner. Fans have expressed enthusiasm following the release of the first trailer in February. One social media user wrote, 'The Fantastic Four trailer looks so sleek — it nails the period vibe like First Avenger did.' Others shared similar sentiments, with many calling it a 'refreshing' take on the franchise. Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released nationwide on July 24.

Ioan Gruffudd, 51, announces he's expecting first child with his wife Bianca, 32
Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd, 51, is welcoming his first baby with his wife Bianca Wallace, 32, just weeks after getting married. The newlyweds shared the happy news on Instagram with a silhouette of the Fantastic Four star kneeling on the floor, kissing his wife's baby bump. 'Baby Gruffudd poppin' out to say hello!' he wrote in the caption to his 110,000 followers as friends, family and fans flocked to share their congratulations. 'I'm going to be an auntie, baby G, you are so loved already,' one user claiming to be Bianca's sister, Chanel, wrote in the comments. 'Best news ever,' Quinn Hempill said. 'Oh my gosh yes!!!!' itslizzyjane added. 'Congratulations to you both. Such exciting news,' shared. 'Omg this is delightful news!!! Oh @iambiancawallace I am so happy for you both! Congratulations,' stephneathwaybrown. 'Congratulations, wishing you all the best. You both deserve it so much,' kapunzel_ echoed. In April, the pair shared grainy snaps of their special day on the coast to Instagram just weeks ago, wearing a silky halterneck wedding dress and formal suit, with the caption: 'Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.' The Titanic star first announced his relationship with the Australian actor in October 2021 months after Gruffudd filed for divorce from The Christmas Carol's Alice Evans with whom he is still undergoing a tough custody battle. He shares two children -16-year-old Ella and 12-year-old Elsie – with his ex-wife whom he met on the set of 102 Dalmations in 2000 and married the same year their first daughter was born. His divorce was finalised in 2023 and he shared his engagement to Wallace in January 2024. The former couple announced their separation in January 2021 when Evans claimed Gruffudd had 'announced he was leaving his family' and left 'me and my daughters sad and confused'. Afterwards, in a joint statement, they said it was 'an incredibly difficult time for our family' and they both remained committed to their children. Between 2021 and 2024, the troubled relationship between the pair escalated. In August 2022, Gruffudd was granted a three-year restraining order against Evans after claiming she had threatened to make 'false accusations' about him, including child and domestic abuse and had made targeted social media posts – all of which Evans has denied. More Trending In 2024, Gruffudd accused Evans of violating the restraining order and custody agreement by allegedly posting 'disparagingly' about him and his then-fiancee which was also preventing him from 'obtaining new work', with his legal team citing several alleged examples. In a sworn statement submitted through a court filing in September, Evans said she had 'not engaged in that conduct for years' and claimed Ioan's allegations around fake accounts was 'found to be completely false' by the police. 'I sincerely hope that, at least for the sake of our children who have been dealing with this for four years now, Ioan can accept my apology and we can move on to the actual issues that remain to be settled,' she concluded.
