AceShowbiz - Welsh singer Charlotte Church has split from her fiance Gavin Henson after five years together. The news comes just six weeks after the couple, who have two children together, announced their engagement.

The "Crazy Chick" hitmaker and the rugby player, who began dating in 2005, are said to be "distraught" after ending their relationship, according to Britain's News of the World tabloid. Henson is expected to move out of their home in Wales where Church will remain with their daughter Ruby, two, and 15-month-old son, Dexter.

A source tells the publication, "It is an incredibly sad state of affairs. Both Gavin and Charlotte are deeply distraught. But after a lot of soul-searching, they realized this is the best course of action for them and the children. It was a mutual decision."

"To the outside world they were a golden couple. The truth is, they had the same insecurities as anyone else. Charlotte is very headstrong. In the end, Gav found it too much."
