Ioan's Dream of Fatherhood Comes True!
Well, it's official. My friend who took Ioan's picture at the Coca-Cola 600 race called me and said that People.com announced that Ioan and Alice are having a baby. No due date listed. Also, that Fireflies in the Garden is being released in June. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20273769,00.html So a big Congratulations to Ioan and Alice! :party :festival :thumbs up

Ioan and Alice must be very happy to be expecting a baby, since I remember Ioan saying in an interview that they wished to become parents soon. So, my congratulations to Ioan and Alice. :party

:happydance: :crib: :crib: :crib: :crib: :crib: :crib: :happydance: Awwwww! Many, many good wishes Ioan and Alice from everyone at Ioanzone! :hug. We know it's been a bit of a bumpy road, so here's hoping the pregnancy goes smoothly! :happydance: :crib: :crib: :crib: :crib: :crib: :crib: :happydance: I had the news from Contactmusic.com - but apparently his rep confirmed the rumour to Access Hollywood - so I guess now we have to believe it....... FANTASTIC FOUR star IOAN GRUFFUDD's wishes have come true - he is set to become a first time father. The Welsh actor admitted last year (08) he was desperate to start his own brood with wife, actress Alice Evans, and had even started renovating his Los Angeles home in preparation for a new arrival. And the remodelling wasn't in vain, his representative has confirmed the pair is set to become proud parents. But if Gruffudd has his way, he won't stop at one. He recently told Britain's Telegraph newspaper, "I have my eyes on a brood of three. Ideally I would love a little daughter born in the same month as Alice, because then she would be this strong-headed, fun-loving young thing and it would be great to have two women with that kind of energy in the house." http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/gruffudd%20to%20be%20father_1101208 :The General:
