Biography
About Charlotte Church
Charlotte Church, a Welsh singer-songwriter and YouTuber, was born on 21 February 1986 in Cardiff, Wales. She began her career in 1998 at around age 12, quickly rising to fame as a classical singer before transitioning to pop in 2005. By 2007, she had sold over 10 million records worldwide, including more than 5 million in the United States. Her soprano vocal range set her apart, and she later hosted a Channel 4 chat show, The Charlotte Church Show. In 2010, she released Back to Scratch, her first album in five years. Reports of her net worth have varied, with one 2003 report quoting £25m and another in 2010 suggesting £11m.
Church has never shied away from controversy. In an interview with Davina McCall, she admitted that being diplomatic was "not in her nature." At age 15, she faced criticism for remarks about behavior after the September 11 attacks, though she later stated in a written statement for The Leveson Inquiry that her comments were taken vastly out of context. During a pilot of her talk show, she called Pope Benedict XVI a "Nazi" and mocked Catholicism, leading Ignatius Press to remove her catalogue from its listings. In January 2011, she referred to Queen Elizabeth II as "an old woman who has no idea what's going on," apologizing within days. She has also claimed she would be a better X-Factor judge, saying the show's judges "just do not know the ins and outs of a voice or music" and that the show was "cheapening music."
Her personal life has been equally public. She had two children, Ruby (born 2007) and Dexter (born 2009), with her then-boyfriend Gavin Henson; the couple separated in 2010. Later, she began dating Jonathan Powell, a musician and collaborator on Back to Scratch. After suffering a miscarriage in June 2017, they married secretly at a Cardiff register office on 4 October 2017. As of March 2024, her YouTube channel has amassed 71,400 subscribers. She stands 5'5" with green eyes, and her measurements are 37-28-38. Her Instagram following has reached 237k. She continues to be an active figure in music and online content creation.
