Celebrity couple Ioan Gruffudd and Bianca Wallace have announced the birth of their first child together. The husband and wife announced in a joint Instagram post that baby Mila Mae Gruffudd was born a month early on November 2.

They said: “November was a biggie… Daddy and Mummy: Completely and totally in love with our tiny little angel. Extremely grateful this thanksgiving.”

Best known for playing Reed Richards in the Fantastic Four film series, 52-year-old Ioan married actress Bianca, 33, in April this year.

The pair star in drama A Ray Of Sunshine together, about a woman coming to terms with her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, a lifelong condition Wallace was diagnosed with at the age of 25.

In March 2021, Gruffudd filed for divorce from his first wife, actress Alice Evans, who he met on the set of 2000 film 102 Dalmatians and married in 2007. The couple’s relationship hit the headlines after Evans tweeted, and then deleted, a post to say Gruffudd was leaving her and their two daughters, born in 2009 and 2013.

The Welsh actor has credits in films including Black Hawk Down (2001), Titanic (1997), Horrible Bosses (2011) and San Andreas (2015). He has also starred in ITV thriller Liar as Andrew Earlham and played a forensic pathologist in ABC drama Harrow.
