Ioan Gruffudd and his girlfriend Bianca Wallace appeared carefree as they cuddled in an LA park on Friday.
Titanic actor Ioan, 50, is embroiled in a marathon divorce battle with his ex-wife Alice Evans, 55.
Earlier this week, The Ny Breaking reported that Alice is in financial difficulties – and has told friends she can't pay her rent or afford food, and is considering taking a job at Starbucks.
But Ioan and Bianca seemed very relaxed as they chatted while occasionally cuddling.
They were also seen playing with their dog and kicking a football.

Both were dressed casually: Ioan in a black T-shirt and jeans, while Bianca opted for a sweatshirt and sunglasses.
Alice announced in January 2021 that Ioan was leaving her after twenty years of marriage and in October of that year he went public with Bianca.
She has told friends that the money she got from the sale of the marital home, believed to be $100,000, is all gone, much of it to lawyers, and that she is now in financial crisis.
A friend said: 'Alice is extremely upset and says she can't afford the rent when it's due later this month – at least not if they want to eat – and has just hit a financial low. She says she has nothing, not even health insurance.”
They continued: 'She has been told to get a job, but she has not found any acting work and in any case she has to look after their school-age children.
“This week she talked about getting a job at Starbucks, but she thinks they might not want her because at 55 she's probably too old for them. Also, her agent doesn't want her to do it, in case it looks bad.”
The friend added: “She feels desperate and has no idea how to get along. She cried herself to sleep.'
She and Gruffudd eventually divorced in July this year, but custody, spousal support and child support are still to be settled and the next hearing in the case will take place in March next year.

'Yesterday all my bills were gone and I couldn't buy anything. The same day, my husband's lawyer sent me a letter telling me to appear in court on August 2 to plead “my case” in the divorce. I currently have no lawyer and no money to pay for one.
“If I don't come to court, I will be held in contempt, and I have no idea what will happen to me or my children at that point.”
