TV Spotlight Revives Coverage of Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson’s Brief Engagement and Split

Fresh write-ups revisit the timeline rather than reporting new developments.

Overview

  • Charlotte Church’s recent appearance on the BBC’s The Celebrity Traitors has prompted renewed retrospective pieces about her past relationship with Gavin Henson.
  • They announced their engagement in 2010, then confirmed their separation roughly six weeks later.
  • A statement at the time stressed that no third party was involved and that both would minimize disruption for their two young children.
  • The pair share two children, Ruby (born 2007) and Dexter (born 2009), and have co‑parented since; Church later married musician Jonathan Powell in 2017 and had a daughter, Frida, in 2020, while Henson married Katie Mould in 2019.
  • A 2012 legal resolution found News Group Newspapers reporters had spied on Church and accessed her medical records, a key backdrop to the intense media scrutiny they faced.
