Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson will marry this summer.

The singer-and-presenter and her ruby player lover - who welcomed second child Dexter Lloyd into the world on Jan 11 and also have 16-month-old daughter Ruby - are planning their nuptials and are keen to have the ceremony in their native Wales.

A source said: "Gavin had promised her they'd get married after the new baby was born. So far the couple have avoided the issue of marriage because it will involve such a big wedding and so much organisation and they've always been too busy to get it together.

"They'd love to have one ceremony in Wales with the family and one in an exotic location."

Charlotte, 22, is determined to lose her baby weight before the big day, but is convinced the time is right for her and Gavin, 26, to commit.

The source added to the MailOnline website: "Once Charlotte is back to feeling slim and happy with her looks she'll want to be a bride, and Gavin is ready for it.

"Until now, they've both felt that having children together has meant a lot more than a wedding in terms of commitment.

"They feel they have the perfect family, a girl and boy, and now they want to make it even more perfect by marrying."
