Charlotte Church's family: Gavin hasn't packed his bags

Reports that Gav had gone back to his mum's blasted as 'ridiculous'

Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson are mum and dad to Ruby and Dexter

Charlotte Church's family have denied reports that she and Gavin Henson have split.

The pair's rows were said to have become so bad that it was claimed Gavin had resorted to spending nights at his parents’ house.

But what is going on between the pair?

Charlotte, 23, and Gavin, 27, survived claims Gavin cheated in July 2007 - allegations the rugby player denied - and are now parents to 19-month-old daughter Ruby and son Dexter, three months.

‘Despite Charlotte’s pleas for Gavin to spend less time partying and more time with the kids, he’s showing no signs of slowing down,' says a friend. 'In fact, he’s been telling pals that he wants to move to London and he harbours ambitions to be a model.'

Charlotte would prefer to stay at their quiet farmhouse in St Brides Major, Vale of Glamorgan.

‘She’s told him that he needs to “start pulling his weight” at home and spend more time looking after the kids,’ says the insider.

To add to the strain, Gavin’s admitted that he feels ‘pretty down and depressed’ about his rugby career, which recently hit the skids after he missed out on a place in the British Lions squad to tour South Africa this summer. He’s also been out with an injury, which is only adding to his frustration.
