Charlotte ’won’t marry’ before baby - April 17 2007
Charlotte Church’s mother has insisted that her daughter will not be getting married until after she has given birth.
Church, 21, who is four months pregnant with her boyfriend Gavin Henson’s baby, was rumoured to be preparing to go down the aisle.
But according to the Voice of an Angel star’s mother Maria, her pregnancy has not changed the couple’s plans.
She told Reveal magazine: "Charl is pregnant and all of a sudden the whole world thinks she’s getting married quickly.
"This is 2007, not 1807. She and Gav want to take their time and do it right - not be forced into a wedding.
"I can assure everyone that Charl and Gav are not getting married before the baby comes. Charl certainly won’t walk down the aisle a pregnant bride."
The singer-turned-chat show host is expecting her first child in September.
Church has been having baby scans every two weeks, as well as routine tests at 12 and 20 weeks.
Charlotte’s baby nerves - April 12 2007
A worried Charlotte Church is apparently having baby scans every fortnight - as well as having the normal 12 and 20 week check-ups.
The 21-year-old is having her first baby with her rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson, 25, and while there is no suggestion that there is any problem, the Sun reports that the singer is being very cautious.
"She’s been told everything is fantastic with the baby but wants to keep her mind at rest," mum Maria told the paper, adding: "The 12-week scan showed everything is fine."
The baby is not due until October and Charlotte continues to work presenting her weekly chatshow.
A friend told the Sun: "Charlotte is doing great but she is really worried about putting on too much weight."
At least she won’t have the added worry of organising a wedding any time soon. She recently slammed rumours that she was planning to marry Gavin before the baby’s born.
"I never really dreamed about getting married when I was a little girl," she said. "It’s not a massive issue for me."
Charlotte denies wedding rumours - Mar 28 2007
Charlotte Church has rubbished rumours she’s set to wed boyfriend Gavin Henson next month.
Sources had suggested the pregnant star wanted to get hitched before her baby bump got too big, but Charlotte tells Closer magazine it’s completely untrue.
"That’s the biggest load of s**t. It’s b******s," she says, adding that exchanging vows isn’t even that important to her.
"Some women are like, ’Ooh, I can’t wait to get the big white dress on and walk down the aisle.’ But I’ve never been like that. I never really dreamed about getting married when I was a little girl," says 21-year-old Charlotte. "It’s not a massive issue for me."
The singer turned TV presenter admits she hasn’t even started planning her nuptials with rugby ace Gavin.

Five years later and Charlotte was making a name for herself at local karaoke competitions, and then...
"I was watching the Richard and Judy show on TV and they said they were looking for talented kids. No-one was around so I phoned up," she says. "The producers said I had to sing down the phone. So I did ’Pie Jesu’ and that was it, I was invited on the show. Mum and Dad were the last to find out!"
This led to even more television performances, as well as high profile concerts at the London Palladium, the Royal Albert Hall and Cardiff Arms Park. "It all went a bit mad!" laughs Charlotte.
Now eighteen Charlotte has become a media icon. A ill advised relationship with ’model’ and all round bad boy Steven Johnson and on going arguments with her mother have put Charlotte very much under public scrutiny, but it has only made her more popular. Charlotte will turn her hand to anything these days, she presented Have I Got News For You? made a guest appearance on a dance track and even starred in a film, I’ll Be There. She is a chat show regular, openly voicing her opinions about fellow stars in a very down to earth way.
She may be one of the richest teenagers in the UK after coming into her fortune on her eighteenth but Charlotte Church is as normal as they come.
