'Wow!! The best news! What a lucky baby, with two caring thoughtful loving parents. Made my day!!!' another wrote.
A third said: 'This is everything that everyone follows you guys hoped for! Wishing you love, happiness and the best wishes! You will have the most beautiful child.'
In April, Ioan and Bianca took to their respective Instagrams to share a video of them tying the knot in a romantic ceremony, captioning their posts: 'Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.'
Set to Martin Arteta's track Past Lives, the video shows the pair saying their vows in front of an idyllic backdrop with a stunning sea view.
The pair, who went public with their relationship in October 2021, looked happier than ever.
Their happy moment comes following Ioan's messy split with Alice Evans.
Ioan and Alice Evans formally divorced in July 2023. However, they are still battling fiercely over spousal support and custody and financial support for their two daughters Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11.
At the September 9 court hearing, Judge Josh Freeman Stinn signed off on a stipulated agreement in which Ioan pays $3,000 a month temporary child support and $1,500 a month temporary spousal support until another February 13 hearing where a more permanent support arrangement was to be forged.

Ioan planned to call his then fiancée Bianca as a witness at the February hearing to testify that his ex wife 'stalked, harassed and abused' her, repeatedly violating a three-year domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) which she and Ioan took out in August 2022, after enduring a 'smear campaign' of hateful text messages, emails and social media posts from her.
Ioan claims that Alice 'engaged in a pattern of damaging and defamatory conduct against me, aimed at intimidating and harassing me and my fiancé, Bianca Wallace, while alienating our two young children from me.'
Ioan – whose latest movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die has grossed more than $403 million worldwide – has fought Evans' demands for more money, claiming he's paid some $400,000 more in spousal support that he needed to under their pre-marital agreement.
In earlier court papers, he called her claims of poverty 'exaggerated' and said it's a 'false narrative' that she and the children have been left destitute.
The former couple met on the set of the movie 102 Dalmatians more than 20 years ago. They fell in love in real life and were married in Mexico in 2007.
Ioan filed for divorce in March 2021, shortly after Alice announced on social media that her husband of 14 years was walking out on her and their two daughters.
Meanwhile, in February this year, Alice revealed she's being evicted from her LA home after being 'unable to pay her rent'.
The actress wrote on Instagram that she and her daughters have 'no way of renting even the cheapest room in the city' after being beset by financial woes amid her bitter court battle with ex-husband Ioan.

Sharing a sweet throwback snap with her two daughters, Alice shared that she is like many others in Los Angeles trying to find a new place to live after the city was devastated by fires in January.
Alice was thought to be renting a home in California with her two children after her bitter divorce from Ioan.
Earlier this month, she created her own Divorce fundraiser, setting up a GoFundMe which has so far raised $18,828, but admitted she was 'so embarrassed' to have to do so.
But in a positive update recently shared on Instagram, Alice revealed that she, her daughters and her dog Emma now have a 'roof over their heads' and had retained their possessions after worrying she would lose them as she thanked fans for donating.
