Alice Evans, the estranged wife of actor Ioan Gruffudd, broke down in court as she described her shock at learning he had filed for divorce. The 47-year-old actress, who was married to the Fantastic Four star for over a decade, claimed she was unaware of the legal action until it was reported in the media.
In an emotional Instagram post, Evans branded her husband a 's**t' and alleged that he had a new love interest. She expressed fear over how her daughters, aged seven and four, would be affected by the split, saying her youngest ran away screaming 'no' when told the news.
Evans also criticised the notion of maintaining dignity in private matters, arguing it can lead to covering up abuse. She referenced domestic violence and child abuse, though there is no suggestion Gruffudd has been unfaithful or abusive.
The actress compared her heartbreak to suicide and death, stating the experience 'made me want to die'. She also accused Gruffudd of locking her out of her Twitter account, adding to the acrimony between the former couple.
