Alice Evans claims she is ‘so in love right now,’ one month after her divorce was finalized

I missed the fact that Alice Evans and Ioan Gruffudd’s divorce was finalized one month ago. The last time I dipped my toe into covering this catastrophic situation was back in June, when one of Alice and Ioan’s daughters claimed that Ioan’s girlfriend Bianca Wallace assaulted her, then Ioan went to court to basically say that Alice is still a f–king psycho and she’s done a crazy amount of damage to their daughters. While much of Alice and Ioan’s two-and-a-half year divorce battle was waged in public and in court, there’s not much detail in the reporting of their divorce coming through. I don’t believe they’ve actually settled the most pressing concern, custody of their daughters. Well, after all of that drama, guess who is moving on?

Alice Evans has found love again, weeks after her divorced from Ioan Gruffudd was made official. Following a bitter split from Ioan after 14 years of marriage, Alice, 55, revealed she has fallen madly in love with a mystery suitor. Alice took to Instagram to share a number of pictures of herself with daughters Ella, 13, and Elsie, nine, as they celebrated her 55th birthday, and teased fans with information about her new partner.

She wrote: “We had the BEST TIME EVER. Instagram won’t let me put in all the pics in one go. ( wisely, probably!) I am SO in love right now and cannot believe I only felt this level of intense love at 55. More info coming. Love you all for being so kind to me. I will never forget. I may sound cryptic but life has taught me ( at least on small measures) to be cautious. All will become clear. Love love love love you all.”

Alice did not share any pictures of her new love. Meanwhile, Alice and Ioan’s marriage was officially dissolved on July 3 after he filed for bifurcation and termination of marital status on May 18, to allow them to be declared legally divorced even as they continue settlement and custody negotiations in their split.

My guess is that Alice’s mystery suitor lives in the attic of her profoundly disordered mind. Then again, there’s a lid for every pot, and I’m sure there’s someone out there who wants to be with an abusive narcissist who terrorized her ex-husband for three years. Good luck to him. Incidentally, this is what it will take for Alice to stop focusing all of her rage on Ioan and Bianca: she needs someone else to focus on, she’ll need a new man. And again, good luck to that guy. But god, her poor daughters. Those poor children.

    She’s also been on the ozempic train. She’s lost a ton of weigh.

    I hope the kids are OK. Poor things.

    • Caroline says:

      If this is based on her recent profile picture with the caption “I’m back!!”, it has come to light that this photo is actually YEARS old, and she just reposted it.

  2. Eurydice says:

    Omg, that was my first thought – this mystery suiter is imaginary. I love how because she can’t post all her pics in one go, she won’t post any of them. Next, it’ll be “There’s my love, you can see his leg behind that palm tree.”

    • JK says:

      Knew someone who updated relationship status to in a relationship. It was with an A.I. on his phone. So yeah. Getting similar vibes

    • Eloise says:

      It’s probably a puppy 🙄

    • NotSoSocialB says:

      I know his initials- they are JD.

    • Debbie says:

      It didn’t occur to me that the object of her affection could be imaginary. All I thought was that people usually grow more cautious as they get older, and don’t usually act so quickly after such a bitter divorce. How does she write in mere weeks after a divorce that she’s “So in love right now” and can’t believe she’s never felt such “intense” feelings before? Then, she goes on to say that she is being “cautious.” Oy. After all the upheaval she has claimed to have felt during this episode, and all the weeping she says she did, why doesn’t she take some time to see a psychiatrist to sort out her feelings?

    • Christine says:

      This is so bad. She needs so much therapy, and it’s clear she isn’t getting any.

  3. Who on gods green earth would have her?

    • Lady D says:

      A misguided gold digger?

      • BothSidesNow says:

        A misguided man that takes pressure in emotional, physical and psychological abuse??? IF he is an actual human being, he will never be free from Alice. He has just committed himself to a life time of trauma.

  4. girl_ninja says:

    I’m just scared for those girls. Mom is a monsterous train wreck and their father has his head in the sand.

    • Jean says:

      Father most likely has his hands tied. It is not easy when crazy mom has primary custody and he is a working actor. IIRC he is doing everything he can, that his lawyer is advising him to do, and he has to follow the procedures of the law.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        @ Jean, YES!!! Ioan has taken every possible legal action to try and shield his daughters from their crazy, evil, manipulative narcissistic mother. There is only so far that Ioan can plead to the courts for custody, therapy and freeing his daughters that have been brainwashed.

      • Ponsby says:

        This. He’s taking every course of responsible action that you can, and frankly, he’s the perfect client – he’s getting good advice and he’s actually adhering to it. He’s clearly playing the long game, showing himself over and over to be interested, invested, concerned but non-problematic, non-alienating, and above all emotionally consistent. People don’t realize how long custody disputes can go on when you are dealing with some one as genuinely unhinged as this woman has proven herself to be.

  5. Amy Bee says:

    “My guess is that Alice’s mystery suitor lives in the attic of her profoundly disordered mind.”

    Mine too.

    • Genevieve says:

      I immediately pictured some poor guy, minding his own business, while she follows him with a telephoto lens and a list of all the secret “codes” he uses to signal messages to her.

  6. Chaine says:

    The heavily filtered duck lip selfies are always a red flag! Does this lady actually have fans or is the article just engaging in wishful thinking on her behalf? I’m guessing that her new love is going to be some kind of tea cup puppy and not an actual human being.

    • Miranda says:

      Ugh, I hope it’s not a puppy! She just seems like the sort of person who would kick a puppy, doesn’t she?

      • Nanny to the Rescue says:

        She does have a dog that looks perpetually terrified.

        With being in love she could also mean her daughters. She used them in thia context before.

      • Nicky says:

        Now there’s irony for you. She once starred in 101 Dalmatians with Ioan (that’s how they met, right?) and now she’s the puppy kicker! I love it. She really does look like she would kick puppies though. You’re right.

    • Tarte au Citron says:

      She used to be quite famous in France, and was engaged to a Picasso descendant. I think she’d be better off going back to Paris, but maybe she is too Hollywood now.

  7. I hope that it’s Brad Pitt because they have so much in common!

  8. AnneL says:

    Sure, Jan.

    Is his name George Glass?

  9. Moxylady says:

    She thinks she’s hurting Ioan with this post.
    “I never felt love this intensely before”
    Whereas he’s Ike oh thank god move on move along and leave our poor
    Daughters alone

    • FHMom says:

      True, but she isn’t the only one who claims they’ve found real love after a long time marriage breaks up. It’s a cringey thing to say, especially when kids are involved.

      • Sandy B says:

        Yes! I used to hate Garth Brooks going on and on about the great love he had found with Trisha Yearwood after he had been married for how many years and had several children with his first wife. How do the kids feel?

      • Christine says:

        Look it up! Garth’s kids with Sandy are very happy with their step-mom. This isn’t news, it’s been decades….

  10. FHMom says:

    I hope her new beau has money. I also hope she has gotten help and is really moving on for everybody’s sake.

  11. GoldenMom says:

    Lack of gender of this mystery love….imaginary and/or female? That caught my eye, while reading for the crazy content. She must be EXHAUSTING on so many levels. Poor kids.

  12. Caroline says:

    Bianca recently posted a ton of beautiful pics of herself (and her profile is public) for her birthday (both women are Leos. Scary!) I’m guessing Alice saw them, felt insecure, and now this.

  13. GuguGaga says:

    “My boyfriend? You wouldn’t know him, he goes to another school”

    • Concern Fae says:

      He’s Canadian.

      Probably a figment of her imagination, but there are dudes who really do fall for actively crazy women. Every woman in their life tries to tell them she’s nothing but trouble, but he can’t stay away. Generally ends with restraining orders and police involved with the move out. Rinse and repeat.

    • BothSidesNow says:

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!

    • SIde Eye says:

      I can’t stop laughing at this comment.

    • JanetDR says:

      🤣🤣🤣 At least I got one chuckle out of this sad story!

  14. Oswin says:

    IF the boyfriend (girlfriend?) is real, and that’s a much bigger “if” than fonts will allow here, all I can say to them is Whoopi Goldberg’s, “You in trouble!”

    Well, that and “RUN!”

  15. Maeve says:

    There was an incident at Ioan’s house a few weeks ago that resulted in the elder daughter attempting to get restraining orders against him and his girlfriend. (Coincidentally Alice either fired or was dumped by her lawyer just before the request was filed…).
    Both requests were denied but one of the Tattle Life detectives got a copy of the transcript (tattle life-traditional celebs-Alice Evans thread -pink wiki button) and basically Alice dropped the daughter in it from a vast height. The judge was kind to Ella but pretty clearly unimpressed by mom and has appointed a Guardian ad litem for both girls. Alice has found a new lawyer who sounds a bit hopeless (been struck off at least once) and should currently be preparing her financial declaration which will no doubt be a work of imagination.

    • AnneL says:

      I’m not sure exactly what a Guardian ad litem’s role is, but it sounds like a good thing. Those children probably needed it a long time ago.

      Whatever Ella did, it’s Alice’s fault that she is acting out. To some degree her father’s fault as well, IMO, but it’s clear Alice is the unhinged one and she has custody most of the time.

      • Maeve says:

        The GAL basically acts as an advocate for the children during the Family Law related aspects of the case. Alice seemed to be under the mistaken apprehension that she’d act under instructions from the girls, but she’s an independent officer of the court who assesses the situation and makes recommendations in the best interests of the children. Alice’s antics (breaking the DVRO, badmouthing Ioan to the kids, blocking their therapist appointments, keeping Ella out of school etc) aren’t going to look great, especially in light of Ella’s behaviour (poor kid is clearly under enormous strain). I’d imagine we’ll start hearing how she’s in cahoots with Ioan and Bianca fairly soon.

    • Rnot says:

      “has appointed a Guardian ad litem for both girls.” Thank god!! That’s the best news to come out of this mess yet. The girls finally have their own independent advocate. A GL is a neutral third party appointed by the court to determine what’s in the best interest of the child.

  16. J says:

    I do wish her (and her children) authentic recovery and support.

  17. Kirsten says:

    I don’t believe that she ever thought the divorce would actually happen and this is her way of trying to get Ioan back. The way she’s using the girls for this is gross.

  18. Roo says:

    I’m glad a GAL was appointed, but horrified it took so long. The girls should have had an advocate looking out for them in this case a long time ago.

  19. Cathalea says:

    She bought herself a dog, I guess

  20. bingo says:

    Betty Broderick had a younger, better-looking boyfriend that was totally devoted to her for years. When she killed Dan and Linda Broderick…. just sayin’

  21. teecee says:

    I guess I’ll be the only person on this train (again), but just because Alice is a loon doesn’t mean Ioan is a good person. He was married to her for A WHILE, and is likely cut from the same cloth. They can both be abusive.

    • Kirsten says:

      This is so problematic. Imagine saying this if their genders were reversed — that if a woman left a clearly abusive person after years, she must be abusive too because of how long it took her to leave.

      Abusive relationships are very difficult to extract yourself from no matter who you are, and it’s exponentially more complicated when children are involved. He is not the problem here.

  22. Tree says:

    If I was her I would be freaking out too. Most people don’t get married to get divorced. Him cheating and leaving was completely unexpected. I hope she is able to pull herself together.

  23. Rose says:

    She clarified on the post that it is her daughters with whom she is in love. No new man. So sad that the girls have been further drawn into this mess of their parents’ marital breakdown.

    • Aurora says:

      Good grievance! And here I was thinking she had just met the guy who lives inside a Lassie suit bc he identifies as a dog.
