Alice Evans flashes smile while out for dinner as she brushes off Ioan Gruffudd divorce
Alice Evans may be in the middle of a divorce, but she’s still out there showing up and with a smile on her face.
The actress, 49, has been married to Ioan Gruffudd, 47, for 13 years, but the couple have now split, with Liar star Ioan filing for divorce earlier this month.
He cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the couple’s split, signing the papers in February and listing New Year’s Day as the date of their separation.
Alice later claimed that she didn’t know Ioan had made the move to divorce her, but she had previously revealed the pair – who share two daughters; Ella, 11, and Elsie, seven – were discussing legal separation.
After a turbulent few months, it’s no surprise Alice seemed keen to put her relationship drama behind her, as she was seen heading out for dinner at celebrity hotspot Craig’s in West Hollywood.
She flashed a smile as she rocked up to the restaurant in an all-glam outfit that teamed together a blazer, patterned midi skirt and gold heels.
Alice spiced up her outfit with a green envelope clutch and wore bright red lipstick.
She seemed in good spirits as she headed home after her meal – that came just weeks after news of her divorce filing surfaced.
Alice has been speaking out about her split from Ioan on social media and defended her right to do so, after being criticised by some.
‘I’m scared that my little girls will be disappointed by their Dads behavior and model that in their future relations with the opposite sex. ( I did not find out my father was a s*** until I was about 32 years abs I’m convinced that that made me the woman I am today. After a certain age, they can’t take it away from you! (sic),’ she wrote.
‘I’m also scared of my ex-husband’s response to the fact that I had commented on his sudden decision to serve me. I know he’ll be angry. ( he is always angry – he was born angry).’
Alice added: ‘I’m sorry but f*** your discomfort about my lack of dignity. F*** your cheap quips about how “she didn’t know!” Ha ha ha what a load of b*****ks.’
She and Ioan had shared a joint statement confirming their split. Ioan has not personally spoken publicly about their divorce.
He and Alice began dating in 2000 after meeting on the set of 102 Dalmations. They later married in 2007.
While actor Ioan is best known for his roles in Harrow, Forever and the Fantastic Four movies, Alice has been seen onscreen in Lost, The Vampire Diaries and The Originals.
