Charlotte Church splits from fiance Gavin
 

Singer and TV presenter Charlotte Church has split up with her fiance, rugby star Gavin Henson, according to the News Of The World.

The paper reports that Charlotte - most recently seen as a judge on BBC1's Over The Rainbow - and Gavin have decided to call it a day just six weeks after announcing their engagement.

And Gavin is reportedly set to move out of their home in Wales while Charlotte stays there with their two children, two-year-old Ruby and Dexter, one.

"It is an incredibly sad state of affairs," an insider told the paper. "Both Gavin and Charlotte are deeply distraught.

"But after a lot of soul-searching, they realised this is the best course of action for them and the children. It was a mutual decision.

"To the outside world they were a golden couple. The truth is, they had the same insecurities as anyone else. Charlotte is very headstrong.

The couple had been together for five years, and revealed in April this year that Gavin had proposed to Charlotte on her 24th birthday on February 21.

"He started saying, 'We've been together five years, we've had good times and hard times but it's mostly been good. I think we are meant to be together for the rest of our lives'," Charlotte said at the time.
