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.

perhaps if others weren't so quick to stigmatize it wouldn't matter so much...by all accounts the children are loved by both parents.

there are children dying from cancer, hunger, abuse, murder every minute of every day. surely that is much more important than labeling an issue that truly isn't even considered now days.

make a difference in something that changes something for the better rather than self-righteously sit in judgement of others' choices. or just sod off. the choice is yours.

Heather, you idiot.

Children born out of wedlock are called BASTARDS. A woman who has a kid out of wedlock is usually called either a sl*t or wh*re (sadly, the man is called macho or studly).

Get a reality check, sister. Your kid is a bastard.

Why do these men take so long to marry their girlfriends. Its their fault. The women would probably marry them before, but they take so long to decide what they want to do.
