Charlotte Church’s ex Gavin Henson looks unrecoginsable with huge beard after swapping rugby to be a pub landlord

HAVE you ever wondered what Charlotte Church’s ex Gavin Henson is up to now?

The former professional rugby union player, 40, has swapped the spotlight for running a community pub in Wales.

Gavin runs his local The Fox in the Vale of Glamorgan with wife Sarah.

Customers are used to seeing the star, who has grown a bushy beard, at the bar of the fancy gastro-boozer.

It’s a big turnabout for the sportsman, who was once reported to have been barred from most of Cardiff’s bars and pubs after a wild night out.

Visitors to The Fox report he’s all too happy to pose for photos in a series of reviews on Tripadvisor.

One wrote: “The owner – Gavin Henson was working the same day and didn’t hesitate when I asked him for a photo. Genuinely lovely guy, he even thanked us for our visit!”

Another raved: “Gavin Henson is one in a million he was 100-percent on a rugby pitch and he’s 100-percent with his pub.”

In April last year the Mail reported that Gavin was looking for a new head chef – and was willing to pay them £45k a year.

Charlotte and Gavin dated in 2005, getting engaged five years later. They share two children – Ruby, 14, and Dexter, 13.

They separated in 2010, six weeks after getting engaged.

In 2021 Charlotte revealed she had given birth to a third child with husband Jonathan Powell.

Last February the star appeared on Kate Garraway’s Life Stories tonight after being revealed as Mushroom on The Masked Singer.

She made it all the way to the final but came second to Panda – who was unmasked as Natalie Imbruglia.
