Ruby Henson Archives

Welsh pop singer Charlotte Church and her rugby hubby Gavin Henson, along with their new bundle of joy, Ruby, take the cover of UK’s OK! Magazine. (The couple decided on the name Ruby because of their daughter’s bright red lips.)

Charlotte gave birth at home the Thursday before last but almost popped in a parking lot of a hardware store. “[Gavin] accidentally locked me in the car and the alarm was going off,” she said. “So people were coming out of B&Q hearing the alarm and looking at the car, and then seeing it’s Charlotte Church in there! I was just trying to hide but couldn’t - just sitting there having contractions!”

And apparently the baby looks just like Gavin!

Charlotte said: “She’s got Gavin’s bum chin and his feet. I’m really shocked by how I feel. It’s just massive amounts of love towards her. And it’s like she’s always been here.”

Welsh pop singer Charlotte Church and rugby player Gavin Henson have named their baby girl Ruby Megan Henson.

Via the webmaster for Charlotte’s official website: “Hi Everyone, I’ve just been chatting to Charlotte this morning and she told me that she and Gavin have chosen the name Ruby for their baby daughter. Ruby was born at 10.35pm last Thursday and weighed in at 6 pounds 12 ounces, exactly the same weight that Charlotte was when she was born. Charlotte said that they have spent the weekend receiving family and friends and everything is fine with both her and Ruby.”

Aw, how sweet!!!! (Tobey Maguire also recently named his daughter Ruby.)

Charlotte’s grandmother Maria Cooper also recently told reporters, “She is my first great-grandchild and she is beautiful. Charlotte and Gavin are tired but doing fine.
