‘Ringer’ star Ioan Gruffud and his wife, actress Alice Evans (The Vampire Diaries), share a daughter, Ella Betsi, 2. The actor stopped by the Rachael Ray Show today to talk family. Here’s a peek at the interview:
Ioan and Alice find a way to balance their hectic filming schedules:
“Unfortunately, that show (Vampire Diaries) shoots in Atlanta , so no we’re not in the same town. The last time she was there for 10 days. So I had Ella the entire time, playing “superdad.” It’s very exciting. I love it. I can’t get over what great company they can be.”
Ioan’s daughter has started to speak:
“Now she’s able to communicate and starting to form full sentences and that evolution is just beautiful to us.”
He says Ella takes after his wife:
“She’s very, very strong. She’s like her mother. So I’ve got my work cut out for me at home. She’s insistent on not going in her bed right now.”
Ella would rather play in his trailer than the children’s playroom with Sarah Michelle Gellar’s daughter, Charlotte:
“Sarah’s got a 2 and a half year old daughter, so have I. I think they’re like 10 days apart. Well, my daughter comes to set and she’s like “No, no daddy. Trailer, daddy’s trailer.” She wants to play in the trailer.”
