Bianca flashed her engagement ring and a happy smile while Ioan took a selfie.
He revealed he was looking forward to giving marriage another go, captioning the photo on Instagram: "The most precious thing happened…"
It comes two years after her fiancé Ioan split from Alice, 55.
The former couple share two daughters and have been fighting in the courts over their custody.
Ioan, 49, accused Alice of "child abuse" after their 13-year-old daughter Ella filed a restraining order.
He won the last round of their messy battle.
The victory over Ella and her nine-year-old sister Elsie came after a judge in Los Angeles granted Ioan's demand for the appointment of a child psychologist.
Hollywood star Ioan first obtained a restraining order in 2022 against Alice.

Ioan blasted Alice for allegedly getting Ella to file her own restraining order against him - and for stopping their two daughters from going to therapy.
The actor said: "Although there is an order for the girls to attend therapy, Alice has repeatedly either refused to bring the girls or interfered with my bringing the girls to therapy.
"Since separation, the girls have missed more therapy session than they have attended and they have had multiple therapists.
"I believe Alice's actions are child abuse and I am gravely concerned for our children."
Alice denied abusing or harming her daughters.
Last year, Australian actress and producer Bianca, 37, revealed her battle with MS, an inflammatory disease which attacks the central nervous system and for which there is no cure.
She told how she initially sought medical help six years ago when she struggled to pick up a pen to write, and admitted that "everything changed" thereafter.
Common symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis include fatigue, vision issues, and difficulties with walking or balance.
Although there is no cure, various medicines and treatments can help alleviate some symptoms.
She said in a lengthy post: "I celebrate this every single year. It pops up in my calendar and I have a happy moment.
"Obviously the memory itself is not that great and it took me a long time to come to terms with it all, of course, but now this is the day to me that the beginning of my life started. This was the start to my life, this was the start to my journey. To everything that was ahead.
"And I think that we should celebrate, I think that we should celebrate our adversities, our triumph over adversity because it's important.
"These are the days of our life that change us, that create who we are, that change the trajectory, change the life that we thought that we wanted, we were living. These are the key moments in our life and they should be celebrated.
"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.

"But it is a key day for be, 4th of July, 5th of July Australia, is my anniversary for MS and it should be celebrated, and I just wanted to come on to say that we should always aim to get to the point in life that we're celebrating out adversity.
"Celebrate who you become because of it."
