AceShowbiz - Ioan Gruffudd was seemingly unfazed by his daughter's decision to file a restraining order against him. Days after the news broke, the "Fantastic Four" actor was spotted all smiles while taking a stroll in Los Angeles with his girlfriend, Bianca Wallace.
In photos surfacing online, the 49-year-old and his partner were seen walking arm-in-arm as he held a dog's leash. The couple, who went all black during the Friday, June 2 outing, appeared to be in good spirits. They even smiled widely to the camera.
Just days prior, a report suggested that Ioan's teenage daughter Ella filed a restraining order against him. According to Los Angeles Superior Court records, Ella's case is filed under "domestic violence protection."
Daily Mail claimed that Ella, whom Ioan shares with estranged wife Alice Evans, requested the temporary restraining order following an incident at her father's house. At the time, Ella allegedly visited the home that the actor shares with Bianca alongside her younger sister Elsie (9).
It remains to be seen what incident she was referring to, but the teen also filed a restraining order request and a civil harassment protection order against Bianca. Hearings for both cases are scheduled for June 22 and June 23, respectively.
Ioan filed to divorce Alice in March 2021. The filing arrived after the British-American actress blasted him on social media, claiming that the "Titanic" actor had left her in "excruciating" pain due to the split.
Later in February 2022, Ioan filed a request for a restraining order against Alice. The "Forever" alum claimed that she threatened to "make false public accusations," "sell false stories to the press" and "destroy" his career if he left her. He said in the petition, "Alice threatened to tell people I had abused her and our daughters and threatened to call the police on me if I did not comply with her demands."
