Charlotte Church in new baby feud

The Church and Henson camps are at war over the new arrival

Gavin Henson and Charlotte Church's baby news hasn't gone down well with everyone

Charlotte Church’s announcement that she's having a second baby hasn't delighted everyone in her and boyfriend Gavin Henson’s family.

The 22-year-old singer's mum Maria - who was 20 when she had Charlotte - is thrilled but Gav's parents Audrey and Alan were shocked to learn that their rugby-playing son is to be a dad-of-2 at just 26.

Our source says: ‘They feel that it’s too soon. Charlotte only had Ruby nine months ago.’

Last week Gavin said that he’d like ‘6 to 8’ kids, although Charlotte added that she’d like a gap now before having another two children in quick succession.

But it’s understood that Alan Henson, who was also a rugby player, believes Welsh rugby international star Gavin should concentrate on building his career and are worried that too many children will distract him.

Our source adds: ‘Alan really loves rugby and both he and Audrey are concerned about Gavin’s career. They’ve supported him all the way since he was a schoolboy and would hate to see him throw it all away.

'They’re also worried that he’s become more obsessed with the idea of being a celebrity rather than concentrating on his rugby.’
