Actress Alice Evans has announced the death of her father, David Vincent Evans, just months after losing her brother. The 83-year-old passed away on Friday, as revealed in an emotional social media post by the former Vampire Diaries star.
In her tribute, Evans wrote: 'Dear Dad, You left us on Friday. Only six months after the death of your beloved son Tony. Now all three of you are gone – you, Mum, Tony and it's just me and Phil from the OG family.' She described how her father taught her 'how to laugh' and 'not care what people think.'
The news comes shortly after a court ruling that extended a domestic restraining order against Evans for a further five years, following a bitter legal battle with her ex-husband, actor Ioan Gruffudd. The judge described Evans's social media posts as a 'concerted, focused, intentional and caustic campaign of denigration' against Gruffudd and his new wife, Bianca Wallace.
Evans and Gruffudd, who have two daughters together, split in January 2021 after 14 years of marriage. Gruffudd married Wallace in 2025, and the couple welcomed a child in November. The restraining order, originally issued in 2022, bans Evans from mentioning Gruffudd on social media and requires her to stay 100 feet away from the couple.
