Church, 31, shares kids Ruby, 9, and Dexter, 8, with ex-fiance Gavin Henson. The singer and rugby player called off their engagement in May 2010 after more than five years together. Church started dated Powell later that year.

Last month, the opera singer told The Guardian that she was feeling “brilliant” during her pregnancy.

“It’s great, it’s lovely,” she told the U.K. publication of being pregnant with her third child. “I don’t know if I’ll ever be a party girl again. It feels very different this time around.”
