United KingdomThe divorce proceedings between actor Ioan Gruffudd and former spouse Alice Evans have concluded, with a court ruling requiring Gruffudd to increase his maintenance payments to Evans. The case involved a nine-day hearing in Los Angeles where the judge granted Gruffudd a restraining order against Evans due to allegations of harassment and abuse toward him and his new wife, Bianca Wallace. However, on financial matters, the judge largely supported Evans, determining that Gruffudd had underpaid her by $27,000 rather than the $400,000 he claimed. Evans, who has custody of their two daughters, will receive 10% of Gruffudd’s gross income, amounting to $1,862 monthly, as stipulated by their prenuptial agreement. The judge criticized Evans for not timely disclosing a $168,000 savings account, which affected her credibility, while also rejecting Gruffudd’s argument that the online harassment campaign constituted a valid reason to avoid payments.
