Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evan's daughter Ella has reportedly lost her bid for a restraining order against the actor's girlfriend Bianca Wallace.
The 13-year-old put forward the request after Alice was accused of setting up fake Twitter accounts to brand Ioan and Bianca as "child abusers," according to court documents filed by the Fantastic Four actor.
However, a judge at the Los Angeles Superior Court is said to have turned down the application from Ella after she filed documents for a civil harassment protection from actress Bianca, who suffered from multiple sclerosis.
The actress is said to be "relieved" at the outcome which was decided by judge Josh Freeman Stinn, who also appointed a minors counsel - a lawyer appointed by the court to represent the best interests of the child - to act for Ella and her younger sister Elsie, nine.

"I believe Alice has used and harmed Ella, and is the person behind Ella's actions and Request. I have read Ella's Declaration. I believe Alice wrote it. I believe Alice's actions are child abuse, and I am gravely concerned for our children," Ioan continues in his declaration.
The latest development in Ioan and Alice's domestic drama comes after the pair split in 2021 after a 14-year marriage.

He added that on one occasion, she accused him of "taking away my kids," before calling him a "f***ing p***y" and "evil'," as well as calling "his mother a c***"."
Ioan claimed that Alice then said she didn't want to see Ella for a few days and accused her of saying: "The babies can stand up for me or they can f*** off."
He alleged that Alice continued with: "I'm going to tell my lawyer that you punched me last week. It's going to be like Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.
"It's not going to end well for you."
