Sharing a news article about the impending divorce, Alice wrote on Instagram: “Oh, ok. Thanks for letting me know I guess.”
In January, 49-year-old Alice claimed the Liar star Ioan had “walked out” on her and their two daughters after saying he “no longer loves her”.
She broke the news to fans in a since deleted post on Twitter, explaining that her husband had given very few details about his decision.

“Me and our young daughters girls are very confused and sad. We haven’t been given a reason except that he ‘no longer loves me.’ I’m so sorry.”
The couple have been married since 2007 and have two daughters, Ella, 11, and Elsie, seven.
It’s unknown whether the pair, who have two children together, had signed a pre-nuptial agreement.
