Ioan Gruffudd and Girlfriend Bianca Wallace Seen on Park Outing as Actor Finalizes Contentious Divorce

The actor has finalized his contentious divorce from wife Alice Evans, with whom he shares two children

Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans are legally divorced.

As of Monday, the Fantastic Four actor and his wife of 15 years are no longer married on paper, more than two years after he first filed for divorce, according to documentation obtained by PEOPLE from the Los Angeles County Superior Court.

"The Court finds irreconcilable differences have arisen in the marriage and grants judgment for the dissolution of marriage as to status only, effective today," reads the document, dated July 3, 2023.

The news comes as Gruffudd, 49, was photographed on Wednesday with girlfriend Bianca Wallace, as the two stepped out for a visit to a Los Angeles park.

Walking side by side, the two were accompanied by their dog whose red leash Gruffudd held in one hand, carrying a blanket in the other. Dressed casually, Wallace, 30, wore an olive-green tank top and white shorts, while Gruffudd opted for jeans and a white T-shirt.

The sunglass-clad couple were later snapped lounging atop their blanket on a hilly section of the park they visited.

Gruffudd and Evans, 54, met in the 2000 set of 102 Dalmatians and were married in 2007. The actor filed for divorce in March 2021. The former couple share two daughters: Ella, 13, and Elsie, 9.

In a joint statement obtained by PEOPLE at the time of the separation announcement, the two said, "As you can imagine, this is an incredibly difficult time for our family and we remain committed to our children. Thank you for respecting our privacy."

In the years since their split, the former couple have been involved in a contentious legal back-and-forth about subjects such as child custody and domestic-violence claims.

Gruffudd previously filed a petition for a domestic-violence restraining order against Evans in February 2022, in which he requested that she stay 100 yards away from him and Wallace and not be allowed to contact either of them, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.

In his petition, Gruffudd claimed he had told Evans he was "unhappy" in their relationship in August 2020. The actor said Evans "repeatedly told me between August 2020 and our separation on January 1, 2021 that if I left her, she would make false public accusations about me, sell false stories about me to the press, and destroy me and my career."

The actress had previously pleaded not guilty to two charges of violating the restraining order, which barred her from posting remarks about Gruffudd or his girlfriend Wallace on social media. (It is unclear what alleged restraining-order violation prompted the charges against Evans.)

At a follow-up hearing in March, Commissioner James Cooper deferred ruling on Evans' attorney's ask for the court to rule Evans "factually innocent" of the charges until a hearing future hearing, the Daily Mail reported at the time.

On March 10, the outlet reported that prosecutors chose to drop the charges against Evans after they told Cooper during a hearing at Los Angeles' Airport Courthouse that they were "unable to proceed" with the charges.

"I just wanted to say thank you to everybody who has been so supportive of me over the past few days, few weeks, few months, few years, since 2019, actually," Evans said in a video she shared to Instagram on March 12, in apparent reference to the dropped charges. "I've tried to read everything and I know that [at] the moment I'm not on social media and I can't really come back to you personally, but I promise I will and you will never be forgotten."

"Things are going well. Me and the girls are good, and I just wanted to send so much love and gratitude," Evans finished in the video as she blew a kiss to the camera.

More recently, the former spouses' older daughter said she fears abuse from her father’s girlfriend in a restraining order she filed against actress Wallace.

Ella alleged in a declaration that Wallace “slammed” a door that hit her on her head and injured her arm during an incident at her dad’s home last month, court documents obtained by PEOPLE earlier this month show. She also filed a restraining order against her actor father.

The teen claimed, in part, that she was left with “bruises” following the May 26 incident, which she alleged happened when she tried to leave her dad’s home after getting into an explosive argument with him and Wallace.

Ella said she threw “raw oatmeal” at her dad, poured mustard on the floor and threw milk on his bed after discovering Wallace was staying at her father’s home while she was also there on an “overnight” with her sister. Ella said she had never met Wallace before that day and had previously told her dad that she didn’t want to meet her.

After throwing food at her father and around his home, Ella claimed in her declaration her dad and Wallace called her “narcissistic,” “abusive” and “manipulative.” She then alleged she tried to leave the apartment but Wallace tried to block her by “raising her arms.”

“I was able to walk halfway out the door, but while I was still in the door frame, [she] slammed the door on me, causing the door to hit me on the head as well as my arm. My arm got bruised, and I had a small bump on my head,” she stated in the documents.

Ella said she ran from the apartment with her sister and their dad caught up to them. She then called her nanny, who was able to arrange for her sister’s friend’s father to pick them up. The friend’s father drove the sisters to Evans’ house and Gruffudd followed behind.

The filing included photos of bruises on Ella's arm and hand, which she claimed were a result of the alleged incident.

In the documents, Ella said that when her mother saw the bruise on her arm the following day, she called the Beverly Hills Police Department, who referred her to the West Hollywood precinct, as that’s where the alleged incident had taken place.

Following a hearing on June 23, a temporary restraining order was reissued, according to court documentation obtained by PEOPLE on Thursday. Another related hearing is scheduled for July 13.

Gruffudd and Wallace did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
