Alice Evans made sure to point out that she is no longer wearing her wedding ring, following her split from estranged husband Ioan Gruffudd.

The 102 Dalmatians, 50, actress removed all traces of her marriage to the Liar actor, 49, after he made things official with his new girlfriend, Bianca Wallace, sharing a photo of them together on Instagram.

She has now been seen for the first time following the announcement and appeared to be in good spirits as she greeted a friend at her LA home.

At one point, the star blew a kiss to waiting photographers, before lifting up her hands to show off her ringless-fingers.

The move comes after she appeared to take a swipe at her ex’s new relationship on social media.

Ioan posted a photo of himself looking down and smiling widely with his new partner, with the caption: ‘Thank you for making me smile again @iambiancawallace.’

Bianca followed suit with the same picture on her own page, adding: ‘I know real smiles when I see them @ioangruffudd.’

Around the same time that the pair posted their photos, Alice tweeted allegations that her former partner had been unfaithful with his new girlfriend.

‘So it turns out that my husband, after two years of telling me I’m a bad person and I’m not exciting and he no longer want so to have sex with me and he just wants to be on set abroad…,’ she wrote in a now-deleted tweet.

‘Has been in a relationship for THREE years behind all our backs. Good luck, Bianca.’

In response to a follower who asked ‘who is Bianca’, the 102 Dalmatians actress replied in another message: ‘Bianca Wallace seems to be the person he has been in a relationship with for three years whilst blaming our difficulties on me.

The actress shared no evidence of an affair, and later suggested that they may not have been together for that amount of time.

When asked why she believes Ioan has been in a relationship for three years, she added: ‘I don’t honestly know. He’s been in OZ for three years He started becoming weird the first year. Maybe it’s not three years.

‘Would it be better if it was only one, as her family are saying?’

The former couple started dating in 2000 and share children Ella Betsi and Elsie Marigold together.

Ioan filed for divorce after 13 years of marriage in February, citing irreconcilable differences, with their date of separation listed on the papers as New Year’s Day 2021.

Several weeks later, Alice went public with their break-up, tweeting: ‘Sad news. My beloved husband/soulmate of 20 years, Ioan Gruffudd, has announced he is to leave his family, starting next week. 

‘Me and our young daughters girls are very confused and sad [sic]. We haven’t been given a reason except that he “no longer loves me”. I’m so sorry.’
