Evans, 53, confirmed her separation from the Welsh star, 48, in a string of furious tweets posted on Twitter in January, and has since documented every toxic turn in their subsequent divorce proceedings across social media.
The actress, who shares daughters Ella, 12 and Elsie, eight, with the Harrow actor, shared a snap of the family dog, and wrote: ‘Everybody was a bit low energy today. I feel like we are all starting to realize what life without Daddy will really be like, and we need to make plans account for this…

Referencing her recent tell-all interview in which she branded Gruffudd a ‘coward’ and blasted his new romance with Bianca Wallace, 29, she continued: ‘I was on the Kyle and Jackie O show today and Jackie was incredible although I sensed Kyle was a little more on the fence. ( not that I blame him at all!
‘You gotta make sure there are two-sides to every argument.
‘At one point he asked me the same question everybody’s been asking me: Why did you decide to do this? The question always trips me up because I try to be 100% honest in everything I do.
‘And as far as the ripple I’ve set off which has brought letters, emails, messages to me from all over the world saying they wish they’d had a voice…

‘….I think on a personal level, I did it because I had no other choice. I was gagged, blinded and lies were being told about me. Lies that I was supposed to just accept, because I had no power.
When I spoke out on SM after almost six months of crying ever night ans driving my friends insane….
It felt like somebody had lanced an enormous boil somewhere on my body and all the c**p was coming out. That’s so gross and I’m so sorry but it was like that!
Taking a further shot at Ioan, she wrote: ‘Thanks to those of you who are still supporting me. I love and will love you forever. There’s nothing wrong with calling out a man who is telling awful stories about you, shearing openly and then telling you it’s your fault.
No holds barred: The star spoke about her reasons to publicly discuss the break-up
‘We shouldn’t have to put up with this. No way.’
Mailonline has contacted Ioan Gruffudd’s representatives for comment.
Ioan recently went public with his new girlfriend Bianca, after Alice claimed the pair had been embroiled in a three-year affair – which has been denied by a friend of the couple.
The post comes after Alice shared intimate details about her bitter break-up in a tell-all interview on The Kyle & Jackie O Show on Monday.
Speaking to the breakfast radio show, the actress described the break-up and the subsequent attention as a ‘very strange thing to happen’.
She accused Ioan of ‘gaslighting’ her – a form of manipulation that causes people to question their judgments and reality.

Alice explained that she’s ‘chosen to do four or five interviews’ about the split, after previously feeling ‘gagged’.
‘[People would] say things like, “Oh, he’s such a good lad, your husband. You’ll have him forever.” And I wanted to go, “No, he’s not,”‘ she said.
After posting a series of revealing tweets about the split, Alice described the feeling she got from sharing her side of the story as ‘releasing some kind of cut’.
She added that she ‘did not see [the split] coming’, and said Ioan had sent her a message telling her he was counting down the hours until he saw her, just days before their break-up.
‘He still hasn’t told me, because now he’s ghosting me,’ she said of their split, revealing the last time she saw her husband of 14 years was in January.
Following their split, Ioan revealed he’s now in a relationship with Australian actress Bianca Wallace.
The revelation left Alice blindsided, and she claimed ‘he may have been cheating on me for two years’.
‘He could’ve gone about it the right bloody way. He could’ve sat us down and said, “Look, this has happened. Let’s talk about it.” And I would’ve been open to that,’ she tearfully explained.
Speaking about Ioan and his new girlfriend, she added: ‘He’s a coward. I don’t know her, I hear that she’s very pushy, but I don’t want to drag anybody that I don’t know.’
Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson couldn’t contain their emotions while talking about the break-up on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Friday.
The radio hosts had just finished listening to a recent interview with Alice in which she spoke about discovering her husband had moved on with Bianca via Instagram.
‘I was slayed. This was my husband. I’m so sorry. I feel like I’m being totally self-centred…’ she said, as she broke down in tears.
‘I’m not the only person who has gone through this, and I think that I was owed more than an Instagram after 20 years of marriage and two children, and it was a little bit cowardly.’
Hearing the pain in her voice, the normally stoic Kyle, 50, admitted that Alice’s comments had ‘brought tears to my eyes’.
His longtime co-host Jackie, 46, couldn’t hide her shock at the fact Kyle was openly crying live on air.
‘I don’t even know that lady. I hate hearing people crushed emotionally. I don’t like it. Sorry, sorry, sorry,’ he sobbed.
The shock jock blamed his sudden display of emotion on getting older, claiming he never used to cry before turning 50.

As Jackie urged him to ‘let it out’, Kyle asked, ‘What’s wrong with me?’, before admitting he felt ‘dreadful for that woman’.
Despite managing to maintain her composure up until that point, Jackie also broke down in tears while recounting how Alice ‘broke the news to one of her daughters’.
‘She just showed her an article where the headline says: “Ioan Gruffudd is divorcing his wife,”‘ she began, before breaking down.
‘And she showed that to her daughter, she said, “Look. Read this,” and her seven-year-old daughter began screaming and ran to her bedroom and said, “No, my daddy would never do that to my mummy.”‘

Upon hearing this, Kyle started to cry once again, calling it ‘a horrible story’.
‘I’m from a divorced family, and I think I had some residual feelings there that must’ve oozed out of my spinal juice,’ he concluded.
Ioan, 48, and Alice were married in 2007, before announcing their separation in January this year shortly after he returned home from filming in Australia.
In a since-deleted tweet, Alice said she was blindsided by Ioan’s decision to leave her and their daughters, claiming he ‘no longer loves’ her.
Ioan went public with his relationship with Bianca, 29, last month, sharing a cosy photo of them together on set.
‘Thank you for making me smile again @iambiancawallace,’ he captioned the post, adding a series of love heart emojis.
Alice said she was shocked to discover Ioan had moved on, and was convinced he’d been having an affair with Bianca while in Australia.
‘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 to have sex with me and he just wants to be on set abroad… has been in a relationship for THREE years behind all our backs. Good luck, Bianca,’ she wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
