Welsh singer and her boyfriend, rugby player , welcomed their first child, daughter Ruby Megan, on Thursday night, she confirmed on her official site Monday.
Ruby made her debut at 10:35 p.m., clocking in at 6 lb. 12 oz., the same weight as her mom when she was born.

A spokesperson also confirmed the birth, which took place in Charlotte's U.K. home, stating, "Midwives were present at the home birth."
Last month, the starlet's mother, Maria, told reporters her daughter was considering not only a home birth, but a water birth as well. "Her friend had a water birth and told her how great it was, so she's going for it. They are all the rage at the moment and there are a lot of benefits with them too."
