Charlotte Church Shakes Off Hangover to Get Engaged

By PopEater Staff Posted Apr 14th 2010 07:30AM

Five years and two kids later, singer Charlotte Church and her rugby star boyfriend are finally getting married. Gavin Henson actually proposed to Church six weeks ago, she tells OK! magazine, but there was no hidden ring in a piece of pie for this one. No, there was a helicopter involved.

According to Church, she was feeling hungover following a night of partying for her 24th birthday when she heard a loud whirl outside. Henson had borrowed his boss's helicopter and landed it in the garden at their home.

"As I came out of the shower, I said: 'What's that noise?' And there was a helicopter outside. 'Then my hangover just went because of the adrenaline of being a bit scared.'"

They flew to a seafront restaurant in Cornwall, Wales, and that's where Henson bent down on one knee and proposed.

Church and Henson have two children, Ruby, 2, and 15-month-old Dexter, and have been together since 2005. The Welsh star got her start in classical music before crossing over to pop music.

Ruby was born in Sept. '07, and Dexter in Jan. '09...

So technically they got it right, 2 years old (31 months or thereabouts), and 15 month old...

It's best to actually do some research before blasting someone's writing...

Yeah it sounds crazy, but when people have kids instead of saying 1 yr and 3 month old when someone asked how old the kids were, they say 15 month old up to 24 months which would then be 2 yrs. My sister did that until my nephew turned 2. It sounds wrong and looks wrong but its alot easier.

Why does God give such incredible talent to someone so incredibly stupid?

By CAROL

Because God works in wonderous ways that we will never understand until we sit by His side in Heaven.

Phil,

When they say 2 year old, that can mean the child is up to 35 months old. So you can have two kids that are 35 mmonths old and another who is 15 months old. Do the math.

According to Wikipedia...

On September 20, 2007, at 10:35 pm, Church gave birth to a daughter named Ruby Megan Henson.
On 11 January 2009, Church gave birth to her second child, a son named Dexter Lloyd Henson.

So they are 16 months apart.

DUDE LOOKS LIKE HE'S ON THE VERGE OF RAGE AT ANY MOMENT , ROID RAGE MAYBE?

By poweroldglory

A child can be 2 and 11 months, 10 months or 5 months and a sibling 15 months old. My kids are 15 months apart. Do the math. However, Cornwall is now in England, so it's still lousy reporting!! LOL!!

My aren't we proud........

By Cookie

Um Cornwall is in England, not Wales. Gavin Henson and Charlotte Church are both Welsh, Gavin plays for the Welsh rugby team. I know this as I'm from Wales. Nice research.

My husband and I became preganat with our daughter before we were married. That doesnt mean she is a bastard child and how dare you talk about other people's children like that. Yea, maybe some young people have it backwards, but it doesnt mean they have no morals or cant be good parents. How about the fact that you are an adult calling children nasty names? Doesnt seem like you have very many morals either?

By Tuula

Angelina, it is confusing as youknowwhat, the people in the US also coun tmoney in hundreds when they are in thousands, 15 hundred, it is one thousand five hundred.

By KayDf9

Heather, I understand your anger at illegitimate children being called such a nasty name. It's not the child's fault, it's the parent's, for failing to legitimize their union until a child is born. I've always heard, there are no illegitimate babies, only illegitimate parents. The babies did not ask to be brought into the world, and they are innocent. I am of the older generation and think that children ought to be born within wedlock for many legal and societal reasons; however, we are told not to judge, lest we be judged.

He looks incredibly unhappy.

I am so tired of hearing how "messed up" these two are because of the order they are doing things... kids then marriage and so on.... that means NOTHING these days! I have an 18 year old daughter who is, according to some of you here, illigitimate... bull!!!!! Stop judging people and live your own damn lives... worry about yourself and what goes on in your house! Good luck to these two... wish them all the best

Heather: From Websters New Collegiate Dictionary: Bastard - Illegitimate. Illegitimate - Not recognized as legal; specifically born of parents not married to each other.
Words mean things.

By Rae

Nothing like putting the cart before the horse. You people don't give the first thought about the stigma that is put on your chioldren. My guess is that you don't care either.
