It comes more than two years after Fantastic Four star Ioan, 52, divorced British-American actress Alice, 57.
She played Chloe Simon in the film 102 Dalmatians as-well as Esther Mikaelson in the third season of the The Vampire Diaries.
The pair officially ended their marriage amid a bitter court battle and vicious custody row over their daughters.
Hollywood star Ioan also obtained a restraining order in 2022 against Alice.
Ioan and Bianca went public with their relationship in 2021.
The couple announced they were engaged in January 2024.
He revealed he was looking forward to giving marriage another go, captioning the photo on Instagram: “The most precious thing happened…”
They married in April this year and shared a video showing their romantic wedding ceremony.
Welsh actor Ioan could be seen wiping away tears as he expressed his love to Bianca.
Weeks later, they revealed they were expecting their first child together.
Australian actress and producer Bianca was diagnosed with incurable and aggressive MS (Multiple Sclerosis), an inflammatory disease which attacks the central nervous system and for which there is no cure, seven years ago.
She previously said she initially sought medical help when she struggled to pick up a pen to write, and admitted that “everything changed” thereafter.
Common symptoms of MS include fatigue, vision issues, and difficulties with walking or balance.
In September, Bianca was asked about her health and how she was coping being pregnant, and replied to a follower on Instagram: “Thank you for asking!
“The MS has been in remission and it’s been the most confronting, yet amazing thing to experience!
“I’ve heard breastfeeding also should help keep it at bay.
“My doctors have such great plan in place that I have a lot of hope that things won’t go back to how bad it was before pregnancy.”
Although there is no cure, various medicines and treatments can help alleviate some symptoms.
Speaking about her condition previously, she said in a lengthy post: “I celebrate this every single year. It pops up in my calendar and I have a happy moment …
“And so I’m at five years of MS today, not diagnosed, this is the day that the symptoms came up. I’m diagnosed October (2022), will be five years diagnosed.
“But I think it’s crucial and important to celebrate these moments and do not let them take you… these anniversaries, they really pack a punch in these kind of situations.”
