Ioan Gruffudd and Bianca Wallace’s date night this week was extra fantastic.
While at the Los Angeles premiere for Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the Bad Boys: Ride or Die alum, 51, and his pregnant wife, 32, made their first red carpet appearance since announcing their baby news.
The couple graced the carpet together, with Gruffudd wearing a black suit with a white button-up shirt. Wallace adorned a dark gray sleeveless bodycon dress that put her growing bump on full display. She paired her look with a black sequined bag with her hair falling over her shoulders.

The couple, who tied the knot on April 25, first announced their baby news on Father’s Day weekend. In a joint Instagram post on Saturday, June 14, the pair showed a black-and-white, silhouette-style snapshot taken from the side, showing the actor planting a kiss on the mom-to-be’s baby bump.
“Baby Gruffudd poppin’ out to say hello! 🤍” Wallace wrote in the caption.
The soon-to-be parents’ night out comes after Gruffudd’s ex Alice Evans, who’s the mother to his two daughters Elsie, 11, and Ella, 15, requested that the court increase her child and spousal support from Gruffudd. According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the actress, 56, is asking the court to increase Gruffudd’s child and spousal support payments from the $4,500 a month he is currently paying.
Evans claims that she and her daughters were recently evicted from their Los Angeles home because she couldn’t pay the $6,500 in monthly rent. She also claims that she had to borrow money from her friends and set up a GoFundMe account to raise donations.
The mom of two alleges that she “burned through” her savings in order to pay for legal fees and living expenses. She also claims that Gruffudd can afford more than he’s paying in support and is asking for more money.
In a response, Gruffudd alleges that Evans “purposely got herself evicted” and was “intentionally ceasing paying rent and instead taking the children on a vacation trip to Europe.”
Gruffudd claims that Evans’ motive is to create a false public narrative to harm his reputation and get him to give her more money.
He goes on to claim that he’s received “dozens of stressed messages from our minor children in which they have parroted Alice’s false and manufactured claims of becoming homeless in the immediate future,” which have left him “mortified.”

Back in October, a court ordered Gruffudd to pay $3,000 per month in child support for Ella and Elsie, whom Evans has full custody of. In addition to the child support, Gruffudd was to pay $1,500 in spousal support to Evans every month, which started in September.
At the time, the court also ordered Evans to “make a reasonable good-faith effort to become self- supporting.”
Additionally, “Failure to make these efforts could provide for a basis for lowering the amount of spousal support or even terminate spousal support altogether,” the documents stated. Evans will have half the length of their previous marriage to prove she’s practicing “reasonable good-faith efforts.”
Evans filed for financial support from Gruffudd back in July 2024, when documents obtained by PEOPLE revealed the actress claimed she was in “dire” need following their custody agreement that was settled two months prior. She added at the time that she would “not be able to survive” without financial support from Gruffudd.
