No wedding bells for Charl? - Dec 13 2007
Charlotte Church has reportedly told her boyfriend Gavin Henson he'll have to wait another 10 years to marry her.

The 21-year-old singer - who gave birth to the couple's first child Ruby in September - apparently thinks the ideal time to walk down the aisle is aged 32 - and she has also declared that she wants three more children before then.

A pal told the Daily Mirror: "She doesn't want to get married till she and Gav have completed their family. And because they want four children her wedding day is a long way off. They have each other and baby Ruby - they don't feel the need to rush out and get wed."

The brunette songbird turned TV presenter also reportedly thinks that her man needs to calm down a bit before he makes an honest woman of her. 

Charlotte ’may turn her back on fame’ - Oct 3 2007
Charlotte Church may quit showbiz after discovering the joys of motherhood, according to her mum.

The 21-year-old and her rugby player boyfriend, Gavin Henson, are celebrating the birth of daughter Ruby.

And she’s taken to motherhood "like a duck to water", according to mum Maria, who told Reveal magazine: "I wouldn’t be surprised if she turns her back on fame as well. She never looked for it - it found her.

"All she cares about is being a good mother. And she’s doing a pretty good job so far."

Maria, 42, added: "She has hung up her partying shoes for good. You won’t be seeing her out on the town for a long while. And she is totally off the booze. In fact, at the moment she’s not bothered about having it ever again."

Ruby Megan was born on September 20.

"She said it was the most exhilarating, wonderful and painful experience she’s ever had. She found it difficult to put it into words how she felt.

"She also said the pain was indescribable - she’s never felt pain like it. But it didn’t put her off," Maria said.

"She said she would do it all again. More than anything she wants to have a big family. And she didn’t swear during the whole thing. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true!"

Maria said her daughter is already shedding some of her baby weight as a result of breastfeeding but is in no hurry to regain her figure: "She doesn’t care about losing weight. In fact, she said she doesn’t give a damn."



Charlotte planning four babies? - Sept 26 2007
She may have just given birth to her first daughter, but it seems Charlotte Church is planning another three children before she hits 32.

The songstress gave birth to baby Ruby at the home she shares with rugby player Gavin Henson in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales, on Thursday night.

And the singer’s mum Maria says she can’t wait to add to her brood.

She reportedly told Reveal magazine: "As far as Charl is concerned this baby is only the beginning. She’d love a big family - it’s a dream of hers.

"Her ideal would be to have lots of children running around her country home.

"She has told Gav she wants four babies by the time she’s 32 - and knowing Charl she will get her own way."

The 21-year-old is already planning to extend her four-bedroom home to accommodate her family.
