Alice Evans Is Looking To Move To A New Place With Her Daughters
Evans seemingly set up the account to secure a place following her divorce from Gruffudd.
In a message on the platform, she wrote: “I’m so embarrassed about this. If you’re here, you know my story. You know how much I struggle to keep my two girls healthy and happy, and a roof over their heads. You know what I’ve been through. It never ends.”
“I’m just getting squeezed in every which way and smeared in the media so that nobody even wants to employ me,” Evans continued.
“I need help getting the girls and I to our next place. Moving costs and deposit. We have found such lovely little places – tiny, but they felt like home. We don’t need much. I am selling most of my stuff and have jobs lined up to keep us on our feet. We just need that extra bit to get us over the finish line,” she added.

Ioan Gruffudd Files New Restraining Order Against Alice Evans
Meanwhile, Gruffudd recently leveled some disturbing accusations against Evans as he seeks to renew a restraining order against her.
The actor alleged that she’d been doing drugs, noting in court documents that he received a call from his children in July 2020 saying their mother was “openly consuming cocaine,” and witnessed her try to give their daughters some while he was on a FaceTime call, per the Daily Mail.
He also claimed that Evans barged into a meeting he had with a teacher in their children’s school, even though they’d not booked an appointment at the same time.
“I signed up to attend a private parent-teacher conference at my children’s school on November 17, 2022,” he wrote in his court declaration. “I selected the final appointment of the day to ensure no possibility of running into Evans and confirmed that Evans had not signed up to attend a conference.”
“My private meeting with my child’s teacher was in progress when Evans stormed into the classroom. I went into a state of shock,” he penned, adding elsewhere that Evans gave him and his new wife, Bianca Wallace, the middle finger when they bumped into each other in the street in 2023.
