Evans has also filed for civil harassment protection from Gruffudd's girlfriend, actress Wallace, 29. The application will be heard in court on June 23. The request is said to have been made in response to an incident that occurred at Gruffudd and Wallace's home in Los Angeles while Ella and her younger sister Elsie were visiting.
