Alice Evans shares housing update after claiming she could end up homeless amid financial troubles following Ioan Gruffudd divorce – as her GoFundMe reaches $18k

Alice Evans has shared a housing update after turning to her fans to help her support her children amid financial troubles.

The actress, 56, claimed in court documents earlier this month that she would be homeless in three weeks because her financial situation is so ‘dire’ following her divorce from Ioan Gruffudd. 

She then created her own Divorce fundraiser, setting up a GoFundMe which has so far raised $18,828, but admitted she was ‘so embarrassed’ to have to do so.

But in a positive update shared on Instagram on Monday, Alice revealed that she, her daughters and her dog Emma now have a ‘roof over their heads’ and had retained their possessions after worrying she would lose them as she thanked fans for donating. 

She said: ‘Just wanted to tell everybody that me and the girls and Emma are safe with a roof over our heads! It’s been a whirlwind but we made it through the last three days and managed to save all our belongings too!

But in a positive update shared on Instagram on Monday, Alice revealed that she and her daughters now have a ‘roof over their heads’

‘We could never, ever have done this without the incredible love and kindness from all of you. Honestly I was at my wit’s end and you saved me. 

‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will keep you posted. Love you so much.’

Confessing she felt shame in turning to the public for help she previously penned: ‘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.’

Alice recently revealed the family were going to be able to move her furniture into storage next week. 

She wrote: ‘Quick update. The donations have allowed us to afford a moving truck and a persons to help us move all our furniture into storage next Saturday. 

‘This is amazing because my main worry was having to abandon it here. Looking for temp accommodation after that and will keep you posted.

She previously explained to fans: ‘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’

‘I am so incredibly grateful and humbled by your generosity. I cannot explain how low things got last Wednesday when I reached out. I am unbelievably appreciative and forever indebted to you all. Thank you.’

Alice had previously explained she was struggling to cover the moving costs.

She told fans: ‘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. To be able to present a cash payment upfront that will get us in the door.’

Expressing her gratitude she added: ‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those of you who have shown me compassion and love and understanding. 

‘I will never, ever forget your kindness – every single one of you.’

Alice previously claimed that her ex was living in comfort in a $5,500 a month apartment with a home gym while she and their two children cannot afford ‘basic necessities’.

She claimed she would be on the streets by June 1st because she cannot pay her rent and all the shelters in Los Angeles are full.

She accused Ioan, 51, who married his second wife Bianca Wallace last month, of ‘intentionally’ turning down acting gigs to keep his income low during their split and avoid having to pay her more.

Meanwhile, in February this year, Alice revealed she’s being evicted from her LA home after being ‘unable to pay her rent’.

The actress wrote on Instagram that she and her daughters have ‘no way of renting even the cheapest room in the city’ after being beset by financial woes amid her bitter court battle with ex-husband Ioan.

Sharing a sweet throwback snap with her two daughters, Alice shared that she is like many others in Los Angeles trying to find a new place to live after the city was devastated by fires in January. 

The bombshell legal filing at a court in Los Angeles comes after Ioan accused Alice of using cocaine in front of their two daughters – and even offering the girls the drug.

Meanwhile Ioan and his wife Bianca put on a very smitten display while attending the 32nd Annual Race To Erase MS Gala in Los Angeles last week. 

The Fantastic Four actor, 51, and Aussie actress Bianca, 32, packed on the PDA on the star-studded red-carpet – just a month after happily tying the knot.

However, they are still battling fiercely over spousal support and custody and financial support for their two daughters Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11 [pictured in 2018 with daughters Ella and Elsie]

Last month, the couple took to their respective Instagrams to share a video of them tying the knot in a romantic ceremony, captioning their posts: ‘Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.’

The marriage comes two years after the Welsh actor’s bitter divorce from ex Alice with whom he shares two daughters.

Ioan and Alice Evans divorced in July 2023. However, they are still battling fiercely over spousal support and custody and financial support for their two daughters Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11.

At the September 9 court hearing, Judge Josh Freeman Stinn signed off on a stipulated agreement in which Ioan pays $3,000 a month temporary child support and $1,500 a month temporary spousal support until another February 13 hearing where a more permanent support arrangement will be forged.

Ioan planned to call his then fiancée Bianca as a witness at the February hearing to testify that his ex wife ‘stalked, harassed and abused’ her, repeatedly violating a three-year domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) which she and Ioan took out in August 2022, after enduring a ‘smear campaign’ of hateful text messages, emails and social media posts from her.

Ioan claims that Alice ‘engaged in a pattern of damaging and defamatory conduct against me, aimed at intimidating and harassing me and my fiancé, Bianca Wallace, while alienating our two young children from me.’

Ioan – whose latest movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die has grossed more than $403 million worldwide – has fought Evans’ demands for more money, claiming he’s paid some $400,000 more in spousal support that he needed to under their pre-marital agreement.

In earlier court papers, he called her claims of poverty ‘exaggerated’ and said it’s a ‘false narrative’ that she and the children have been left destitute.

The former couple met on the set of the movie 102 Dalmatians more than 20 years ago. They fell in love in real life and were married in Mexico in 2007.

Ioan filed for divorce in March 2021, shortly after Alice announced on social media that her husband of 14 years was walking out on her and their two daughters.
