London - Charlotte Church has given birth to a boy.

The 22-year-old Welsh singer welcomed the 3.14kg tot into the world in the early hours of Sunday morning.

According to Charlotte's website, both mother and baby are "doing just fine" after the midnight delivery in a birthing pool at the Glamorgan home she shares with her rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson.

"Charlotte has literally just this minute phoned us to let us know she gave birth to a little boy," the online message also said.

The name of the newborn, who was overdue, has not yet been announced.

The happy couple are reportedly planning to call him Alan Lloyd in honour of Gavin's father, while the 26-year-old Welsh sports ace shares the middle name Lloyd with his dad.

"That name is the favourite," a source said.

"Lloyd would be a good choice for the middle name. It's like a family tradition."

The couple, who have been together for around four years, are already parents to 16-month-old daughter Ruby. - Bang Showbiz.com
