My ex-husband believes in lying – Alice on Ioan

- By Jennifer Ruby Showbusine­ss Correspond­ent

THE wife of Ioan Gruffudd yesterday launched a blistering attack on the actor after he filed for divorce – and suggested another woman was involved.

Alice Evans took aim at the Welsh TV star, saying he ‘believes in lying rather than harsh truths’. She also said she had ‘hoped’ their marriage could have been saved.

The actress, 49, claimed Mr Gruffudd, 47, did not inform the family ahead of filing divorce documents at Los Angeles Superior Court – and they only found out from online news.

Writing on social media, she said she is now ‘terrified for what tomorrow will bring’.

Mr Gruffudd’s mother, Margaret, has insisted there was no third party involved in the split.

Miss Evans wrote on Instagram: ‘I can’t sleep. Not a wink… Do you what I’m mostly scared of? [sic] It’s who the girl is.’ She and Liar actor Gruffudd have been married since 2007 and are parents to Ella, 11, and Elsie, seven. Miss Evans said: ‘I’m scared that my little girls will be disappoint­ed by their dad’s behaviour and model that in their future relations with the opposite sex.’

She added: ‘I’m also scared of my ex-husband’s response… I know he’ll be angry (he is always angry – he was born angry).’

The British-American actress said she broke the news of the divorce to her youngest daughter who had ran ‘away screaming, “my daddy would never do that to my mommy”.’

She added: ‘I imagine some mothers who don’t believe in telling their kids the truth about everything will object.

‘That’s fine. My ex-husband believes in lying rather than harsh truths.’

A representa­tive for Mr Gruffudd has not responded to a request for comment.
