Charlotte Church is now the proud mother of a baby girl named Ruby Megan Henson after giving birth at home with boyfriend Gavin Henson by her side.

Charlotte was reportedly first keen on the name Ava, but is said to have reconsidered after fellow singer Myleene Klass chose the name for her baby girl.

Charlotte gave birth to her baby accompanied by rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson at their home in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales, on Thursday night, according to the 21-year-old's official website www.charlottechurch.com.

The site's webmaster wrote today: "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."

The 21-year-old singer and TV presenter bought a birthing pool for the delivery, which was attended by two midwives.

Charlotte - once known as the Voice of an Angel - had been determined to give birth at home in her new farmhouse in St Brides Major, Glamorgan, which she moved into last month.
