In a post on Instagram, the mum of two claimed that her husband was yet to tell her personally.
Alongside a screenshot of a press article, Alice, 49, wrote: “Oh. Ok. Thanks for letting me know. I guess?”
Meanwhile, in the comments, Alice mentioned their daughters Ella, 11, and Elsie, seven.
Following the post, a concerned fan wrote: “Thinking of you and your kids.”
She didn’t think it was real
Responding to the user, Alice added: “Me too. They didn’t even know. I am with Ella and we both saw it together.
“She didn’t think it was real. She thought it was just ‘MORE fighting?’ I said no honey I’m afraid this is it.”
In another exchange with a fan, Alice admitted she hoped the couple could have worked through their issues.
The actress said: “When does one ever know? Don’t you still hope as long as hope is there? I thought we were in this together and would announce together.”
In addition, she added: “It’s ok to be shocked. It’s ok to share that I’m shocked. That I’m hurt. Nobody had to read it. But there are some that might want to know. And others who might feel a teeny bit better about the painful things that have been done to them. Peace.”
When did the couple split?
Back in January, Alice revealed the Liar star had decided to leave her in a since deleted post.
According to Metro, her tweet read: “Sad news. My beloved husband/soulmate of 20 years, Ioan Gruffudd, has announced he is to leave his family, starting next week.
Furthermore, the couple released a joint statement saying: “As you can imagine, this is an incredibly difficult time for our family and we remain committed to our children.
