Seriously, does any person who had an affair ever state they did, and if they did, admit exactly when it happened, when the flirtation started, when the emotional affair began, such as meeting up for lunch or dinner or intimate phone calls or emails/texts began, when the meeting in person began, when they first had sex with them? LOL Noooo. And they will always fudge on the timeline. No one ever ever ever admits to it to strangers or even family as to the whole truth. And they certainly don't put it out there in a public divorce where a celebrity does not want to look like he cheated and look like the bad guy, or for his kids to see and judge him, or for his image. The aspiring starlet also doesn't want that, to be seen as starting something before he officially ended it with his wife.
So excuse me if don't take this person Tamika as the truth-teller for Ioan's relationship timeline with Bianca. I've already said I don't judge them, and I can see why he had already emotionally left Alice and feel his marriage was in tatters for a long time due to Alice, and that he was on his way out in 2020. I don't blame Bianca for the failure of his marriage. And, again, I don't judge the affair, nor care when it began, but the chances that he never began an affair with her before he left, for me, are almost nil. Again, just my opinion. I do see how at the end of a marriage, you do not even like the person, and how an affair in another country, where you are living away from your spouse, could begin at the very tail end of a marriage about to end.
