Personal life
Evans first met Gruffudd during the filming of 102 Dalmatians, while she was in her eight-year relationship with Olivier Picasso, the grandson of painter Pablo Picasso. She briefly enjoyed It-Girl status whilst living with Picasso in Paris and they became engaged.
After Evans broke up with Picasso, Gruffudd went to see his friend Matthew Rhys who was playing alongside Evans in The Abduction Club. Evans gave an interview revealing their relationship shortly before the premiere of Black Hawk Down. Gruffudd stated on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson that he became engaged to Evans in the early hours of New Year's Day 2006 after Evans gave him an ultimatum. They married on 14 September 2007 in Mexico.
Gruffudd removed his funding and support of his largest fansite, IoanOnline.com as a result of comments made about Evans on the site, and elsewhere on the Internet, which angered her. Evans had e-mailed the site's owner to demand that a moderator from the site be banned, as Evans believed she had vandalised her Wikipedia page and had threatened her well-being. Evans has never produced any evidence to support these claims, but the fansite was nonetheless closed on 30 April 2007.
In April 2008, Gruffudd was seen sporting a black eye. At the Welsh Baftas later that month, Gruffudd confirmed that the injury was caused by Evans hitting him with a golf club. Evans herself discussed the incident in a Hello magazine article dated May of 2008.
The couple are resident in West Hollywood, Los Angeles. On 6 September 2009, Evans and Gruffudd welcomed their first child together, a daughter, named Ella Betsi Janet Gruffudd.
