ROMANCE – Newly-engaged Bianca Wallace, 31, and Ioan Gruffudd, 50, packed on the PDA as they were seen for the first time since announcing the big news.
Gruffudd announced his engagement to the Australian actress in an Instagram post on Saturday, six months after his divorce from Alice Evans – with whom he shares two children – was officially finalized following a bitter two-year court battle.

Across town, Gruffudd’s ex wife Evans was spotted shopping in Los Angeles with their daughter Ella, 14.
The divorced pair also share 10-year-old daughter Elsie, who was not seen on the outing.
The actress wore gym leggings and trainers beneath a form-fitting top and quilted gilet as they collected a package before returning to their car.
