Ioan Gruffudd’s girlfriend Bianca Wallace shares a series of snaps while reflecting on 2021

Ioan Gruffudd’s girlfriend has shared a plethora of snapshots to Instagram on Friday in a New Year’s Eve post as she reflected on the past year.  

The Australian actress, 29, posted a snap of her in a black bikini and a romantic beach shot of her and who is presumed to be Ioan, 48, among other pictures as she looked back on 2021 which had ‘the highest highs and the lowest lows.’

The ‘lowest lows’ is perhaps in reference to the fallout from the reveal of her relationship with the Welsh actor in October and the backlash faced from his estranged wife Alice Evans, 53, who claimed Bianca had ‘ruined her life’.

Bianca flashed a radiant smile as she showed off her toned figure in a black two-piece while posing at an idyllic beach setting. 

While another shot showed two shadows, presumed to be herself and Ioan, holding hands on a beach in Nice, with Ioan having been spotted filming in the South of France in November. 

Other images showed Bianca posing for fun, smiley snaps in various locations, including on of her posing topless with a towel on her head. 

While another saw her showing a glimpse of her taut midriff in a white crop top.

Captioning her post, Bianca wrote: ‘2021! A balancing act of a year with the lowest of lows and the highest of highs.

‘I am going with what I always say on NYE. As long as you try your best, lead & live life with your heart and never give up on yourself, then that is all that matters.

‘Onwards and upwards for 2022.’

It follows in the wake of the scorn she faced from her boyfriend’s estranged wife Alice, who initially lashed out at their romance and called Bianca ‘a b***h who manifested Ioan away from their daughters.’ 

However, she’s since appeared to have changed her tune and recently stated she  ‘needs to accept’ that her estranged husband and his girlfriend ‘are besotted’ with one another. 

The actress has made her split from Ioan extremely public, after their 14-year marriage broke down in January last year, with tensions only further rising when the actor stepped out with Bianca in November.

In the wake of their appearance together, Alice, who is in a custody battle over her and Ioan’s daughters Ella, 12, and Elsie, eight, took to Instagram once again to send her regards and also reveal she was seeing a rise in her own popularity. 

Following  the release of images of the couple making their first public outing together, Alice then reflected on how she felt about the shots in a kind message.  

In her post, Alice penned: ‘I’ve been so careful for 20 years. because I wanted a private life. so I looked at them, felt a little embarrassed, also a little warm…

‘If they’re that in love then let’s try to make it work for them. and I deliberately did not post or mention anything. and no longer intend to…

Acceptance: Alice appears to have  changed her tune and recently stated she 'needs to accept' that her estranged husband and his girlfriend 'are besotted' with one another.

‘They’re clearly besotted with each other abs i need to accept that. ( Besides, i’ve never had so many hot guys ask me out on DM I’m quite overwhelmed!!!’ 

Evans is now adjusting to life on her own after he publicly confirmed a new relationship with his Harrow co-star on Instagram, a move she described as ‘every woman’s nightmare.’  

Ioan filed for divorce in March, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason behind their split.

In November, Alice claimed Bianca ‘ruined her life’ in a scathing social media post. 

Hitting back at trolls claiming they’re defending the actress, the star took to Instagram to share a playful snap, along with a caption claiming Bianca was ‘a b***h who manifested Ioan away from their daughters.’ 

Alice claimed the pair had been embroiled in a three-year affair – which has been denied by a friend of the couple.

Evans and Gruffudd met on the set of 102 Dalmatians in 2000, when Alice was in a relationship with Pablo Picasso’s grandson Olivier.

The former couple became engaged six years later after she gave him an ultimatum about their relationship, and they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Mexico in September 2007.

Gruffudd hasn’t publicly addressed the couple’s divorce.
