As Radar readers know, the Hornblower actor, 52, and Evans, 57, have been embroiled in a bitter legal dispute since separating in 2021.
The restraining order, which we can reveal has been renewed, was first granted in August 2022 in favor of Gruffudd and his now-wife Bianca Wallace – and the court has now ruled it should remain in force on the same terms until 2031.
The renewal formed part of wider proceedings over the former couple’s finances and property division after a seven-day hearing in Los Angeles.
In his tentative statement of decision seen by Radar, Judge Michael Convey wrote: “After seven-day hearing, this Court granted the Request to Renew Restraining Order, on March 4, 2026. The Renewed DVRO is in full force and effect until March 4, 2031, on the same terms and conditions as the August 2, 2022 DVRO.”
The judge also ordered the renewed restraining order be attached to the final judgment in the wider case, writing: “This Court orders that counsel… attach and incorporate by reference… the 12-page Order to Renew Domestic Violence Restraining Order, filed on March 4, 2026.”
