Ioan Gruffudd and his new girlfriend Bianca Wallace appear to be taking the next step in their relationship.
The 48-year-old actor has taken his gorgeous girlfriend to his home-place in Wales as the lovebirds enjoy the sights of the scenic countryside.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the smitten couple beamed as they posed in front of a historic castle in Wales.
Ioan grinned ear-to-ear as he looked relaxed and content in the company of his new girlfriend.
It comes after Bianca dropped a massive hint on social media that Ioan has introduced her to his family.
Cardiff-born Ioan, and Bianca, made their relationship Instagram official back in October with the Hollywood star posting a snap alongside brunette beauty Bianca.
Ioan gushed over his new girlfriend who he said encouraged him to smile again following his bitter split from ex-wife and Vampire Diaries star Alice Evans.
He captioned the sweet shot: "Thank you for making me smile again @iambiancawallace"
His decision to go public with Bianca came seven months on from his and wife Alice's split.
The blonde actress, 50, has been outspoken about how she has been handling the divorce and the news of his new girlfriend.
She has taken to social media to put both Bianca and Ioan on blast and even made TV appearances explaining her side of the story.
Most recently, Alice has claimed she and her children will be 'homeless' in two months after her bitter split from the Welsh actor.
In a lengthy Instagram caption, Alice accused her ex-husband of 'gagging' her.
Alice wrote: "Rough, rough day today. The girls and I found out we are going to lose the only house they have ever known. In two months we will be homeless. I hesitated about sharing, because when your ex has paid good money to have you gagged and you risk jail by speaking out. ( Communist China, anyone?) it gets really scary.
"But driving home tonight after hacking dropped both girls at different play dates/ parties, arranged to pick them up, been told how much they’ll miss me and that they can’t eat to have ‘family day at home’ tomorrow, I feel the tears starting again. Tears of fear. Tears of the possibility of breaking their hearts.
"They love this house. It wouldn’t be the end of the world. We can find a condo to rent somewhere I’m sure. Just feeling wistful tonight! Bear with me, I’ll be back! I promise."
Last month, it was revealed that Ioan filed a restraining order against Alice and submitted 113 pages of messages and social media posts as evidence.
Alice has denied his claims.
