Ioan Gruffudd’s wife, Bianca Wallace, has shared a brutally honest account of her difficult pregnancy journey.
The n actress, 32, who is expecting her first child with the Fantastic Four star, 51, took to Instagram to share a raw photo diary and series of emotional videos documenting what she described as ‘some kind of torture’ during her first trimester.
‘Life lately… Some real moments, because no one needs to be as shocked as I was to find out how f**ked pregnancy actually is,’ she wrote, alongside 13 images and videos detailing weeks of intense morning sickness and physical pain.
In one confronting clip, Bianca is seen lying in bed with a heat pack, grimacing in pain as she describes how constant vomiting left her bedridden and unable to sleep.
She revealed she vomited so violently she threw her back out for four days, and shared a snap of herself looking pale and drained after throwing up 67 times in one day.

Ioan Gruffudd s wife Bianca Wallace has shared a brutally honest account of her difficult pregnancy journey

In another photo, she is seen clutching a bowl of cornflakes – one of the only foods she could stomach for weeks.
The post was both a personal confession and a public service announcement.
She reassured others who may be experiencing similarly rough pregnancies, writing: ‘You’re not crazy! More often than not it isn’t just nausea and “morning sickness”. It IS sh*t and rough and f**ked and it IS ok to be honest about it!’
Her pregnancy update comes just over a week after Bianca and Ioan announced they were expecting their first child together, posting a sweet black-and-white image of the actor kissing his wife’s baby bump.
‘Baby Gruffudd poppin’ out to say hello!’ they captioned the snap, which was met with an outpouring of love from fans and celebrity friends.
But while the couple’s news delighted many, it appeared to trigger a scathing response from Ioan’s ex-wife Alice Evans, 55, who shared her own cryptic post following the announcement.
Without naming the couple, Alice wrote: ‘Some people like to go low. I can’t. Not because I’m better. But because I have kids. This s**t is some kind of torture.’
‘Life lately… Some real moments, because no one needs to be as shocked as I was to find out how f**ked pregnancy actually is,’ she wrote, alongside 13 images and videos detailing weeks of intense sickness and physical pain

The post sparked speculation among fans that it was a veiled dig at her ex and his new wife, reigniting tensions from the pair’s bitter public split.
Ioan and Alice finalised their divorce in July 2023 but remain locked in a fiery legal battle over spousal and child support for their two daughters, Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11.
Court documents have detailed years of alleged abuse, online harassment, and restraining orders.
Bianca was previously granted a three-year domestic violence restraining order against Alice, with Ioan claiming his ex had embarked on a ‘smear campaign’ against them.

Despite the drama, Ioan and Bianca have pressed on with their life together, sharing footage in April of their low-key wedding ceremony with the caption: ‘Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.’
Ioan, who currently stars in Bad Boys: Ride or Die, which has grossed over $400 million globally, has denied Alice’s claims that she and their children have been left destitute, saying he’s paid over $400,000 more than required under their prenup.
Meanwhile, Alice recently revealed she had been evicted from her Los Angeles home, later launching a GoFundMe campaign to help her find housing.
‘Thanks to all of you, my girls and I and Emma [the family dog] have a roof over our heads,’ she said in a recent update, thanking supporters for their donations.
While Ioan and Bianca continue to navigate the highs and lows of pregnancy – and public scrutiny – the couple appear focused on their growing family, with Bianca finishing her post on a lighter note, sharing that her dog Bubba has become her ‘protector’ through it all.
‘This week… Bubba’s still taking his protector job very seriously,’ she wrote, sharing an adorable image of the pup curled up next to her baby bump.
