Well he is the breadwinner and divorces are expensive. I don't think the kids are in physical danger and I would say she only drinks when the kids are in bed. But she could be emotionally harming the kids if she is talking tit about their dad in front of them. We don't know but if her SM is anything to go by.... There could be parental alienation going on.
Also the paedophilia remark is toxic. If she wants to use that against him she will need hard evidence. She then says it's "just a thought"!!! If she does produce evidence (which I doubt she has) it will destroy his career and her income too.
I think she was always unstable but he only noticed it in the last year. His mom was right! When he gets a girlfriend I expect it to get worse.
Yeah, I guess he is in a situation where he can't really win no matter what he does. In fact I think the same applies to divorcing her in the first place: I for one always expected a divorce of them to go like this (under the assumption that he actually one day realizes to what he got married to), I wonder if he did too?
Oh parental allienation is 100 % taking place. "Daddy left you", "Daddy abandoned you", "Daddy is selling our house" etc. and thats only Social Media (which the eldest has, and she will show her little sis stuff too), she no doubt does it in private too.
Yeah, I wouldnt want to be his next girlfriend (or current, whatever). I've actually been wondering if she tries to make him unappealing for future partners by potraying him as a absolute monster and/or by the fact that he has a ex-wife from hell.
I think rich people often have nannies. It's not necessarily a sign of neglect. You are right about how Alice twists things though. Check out the video of her hitting two cars because she can't park. Then she blames Kayla Lashae for having a big car! Lol
That they have a nanny isnt the problem. That she simultanously claims that she cant work despite them having a nanny is the amusing part to me. I think she once said that she vowed that she will never let the kids without at least one parent until they are grown up or something like that. Bit funny that she finds this kind of attachment necessary, but how dare a mother has a close relationship to her grown up son.
That last paragraph reminds me. People were so certain he was playing away and laying into him when this started. Did it ever turn out to be the case he had left her for someone else? I remember feeling so uncomfortable at the time reading a lot of the things said about him by people on Twitter and on here with no reason other than what she had been putting out there.
Look, I see this a bit mixed.
Ioan is very skilled in keeping things on the low. He and Alice were secretely dating for almost two years before they went public (and she only confessed this to her back-then boyfriend a few weeks before she and Ioan went public). He was dating before this Nicole Appleton and no one really knew until they broke up again (and I think hardly anyone even remembers it). There is no single picture (AFAIK) of him and his first serious girlfriend, and he was back then a bigger star than now (was breaking through as Hornblower at the time). So that he hasnt been seen with anyone or that Alice is unable to name anyone (especially with no contact) means nothing to me, especially if it's somebody from abroad, who would unlikely to move to him at this stage yet.
FWIW one of Alice friends liked a few weeks ago a tweet that went basically like "I cant watch Harrow (his TV Show in OZ) now in the same way because Ioan Gruffudd is into the actress that plays his on-screen daughter". I get that the Daily Mail pushed this at the beginning without any hint whatsoever (and thats probably why that unrelated user wrote something like this), and that she has a boyfriend and is in fact still posting pictures kissing with her boyfriend on IG I believe, so he is very very unlikely to date her. But I have been wondering now if she believes that he was attracted to that girl at least (I think she was 16 when they started shooting the series and is now 19/20), and that's what the pedophille stuff is actually about.
Having said that, while it is certainly true that many men dont seperate from their wives, especially if they have kids, without somebody in the wings (and most of them dont even seperate then, most of the time the wife is the one that files for divorce) it wasnt what I immediately thought. I was aware of her behavior for a long time, and that her behavior would definitely be enough for me at least, but I did assumed that he maybe is attracted to a character like this, who knows. And if you are suddenly not anymore it's often because you met somebody else and perspective kicks in. But it's not the only possible reason: they spend last year for the first time in ages a lot time together (I know many couples who struggle to go back into a regular relationship after being long-distance), during a lockdown and during a time where Alice did a lot of stupid stuff on twitter, I really doubt that this helped. Still though, I wouldnt rule out that he has cheated.
She would have a stronger divorce position if he cheated I guess.
Nah, she wouldnt. At least legally (though I assume her Social Media support would be even stronger)
California is a no-fault divorce state. They dont care why you are breaking up or who is at fault. The only way that this affects a divorce case is if the new girlfriend is an addict or something and lives with the father, that would then affect custody.
