Charlotte Church Welcomes Second Child

charlotte_gavin

Congrats to songbird Charlotte Church, who gave birth to a healthy baby boy early Sunday morning. The father is Charlotte’s longtime boyfriend, rugby player Gavin Henson.

The couple already have a 13-month-old daughter named Ruby.

So Charlotte is now 22 and the mother of two small children. This blows my mind. I am sure Charlotte loves being a mother and is fantastic at it, but I still can’t remember to hide my shoes far enough away from my dog so that he doesn’t chew them to pieces. Honestly for the money I’ve lost on shoes that my dog’s destroyed I could probably just buy Charlotte’s baby on the black market.

But congrats to the happy couple and sophomore parents!

  • Why do people think she is too young? I wish I had started having children at her age, instead of wasting my time at university!

    and while i see the validity of tertiary education, It was a waste of time for me as my career has nothing to do with my education.

  • I think I have more to offer my kids in my 30’s as far as life experience is concerned. I had a lot more to offer in my 20’s as far as energy is concerned.

    • You’re correct in that. I had my first son at 33. I would not be a qualified mother in the 20’s. I don’t care what people say, “Oh, I had mine 20 and I am happier than ever, blah, blah..” You know, you’re a gem if you can pull this off. Cool for you. But the general rule is that you’re more grounded by the time your early 30’s arrive. Yes, there are the exceptions.. that is rare, however.

      • I also agree, I had my first at 30 and my second at 35. There is nothing I missed out on as far as the whole partying with friends, going to bars, experimenting with drugs etc. thing so by the time I got married and started a family I was, and still am, very content to have that be my focus without resentment for “what I may be missing out on”. But of course I also agree that there are exceptions.

      • I am now pregnant with my fourth child, and in my ” late” 30’s. My first child born in 1992, rendering me in my ” early 20’s” and was a lesson in the blind leading the blind. I am so much more financially prepared and soooo much more mentally prepared. Right on, friend.

  • i dnt have any kids and im 23 but i know i dnt want any til im late 20s early 30s for sure! by the way the couple is hotttt! his shoes not so much!

      • WAIT A SEC! I just looked it up on Google, and “proves to show” is so too a correct term! Maybe you should read a book, sarab.

        and btw, you misspelled unintelligent.

    • Oh, soo not true, things happen for a reason. And, I assure you, intelligence has nothing to do with it, hence, NO CONDOM…….which, should a male decide he isn’t quite ready for the all desirable poopy diaper detail, HE MIGHT HAVE WORN ONE. Mercedes, you must be an educated lass, sometimes….sh** happens. Grrrrrrrr. My sister got pregannt very early on, she had her doctorate, just no husband. is that wrong?

      • I don’t think I really understood what you were trying to say, but 1st I don’t believe in “sh*t happens.” I believe we are in control of our lives and in charge of our own destinies. 2nd, no I don’t think there’s anything wrong with an intelligent woman wanting to have a kid without a husband. I meant more like 30 and under and unintelligent, women who don’t put their talents to better uses.

  • Everyone is different, some are ready for kids in their 20s while others choose to wait. I’d love to have kids now, but that is just selfish of me. Congrats to them though!

  • I would give anything to have a child at any age – I cant possibly criticise anyone I am so damn jealous of!

  • Are they doing this on purpose? I would’ve thought they learned their lesson the first time. I guess they probably have plenty of money and are already succesful in their careers, so it’s not so much of a concern for them to wait until their careers are established like most of us.
