Jonathan Powell isn’t just her partner; he’s the father of her third child and the co-owner of a renovation company they run together. They met in 2013, and by 2015, they were engaged. But here’s the kicker: they’re still engaged, nine years later.
Yes, you read that right. Charlotte Church and Jonathan Powell have been engaged for nearly a decade. Why no wedding? She’s been refreshingly open about it. In interviews, she’s said that neither of them feels the need to put on a big white dress and sign a government document to prove their commitment. It’s a bit punk rock, honestly. Or maybe just very, very sensible.
The Power Couple of... Renovating Barns?
Here’s where the story gets weirdly charming. Charlotte and Jonathan don’t live like A-list celebrities. They bought a derelict manor house in the Welsh countryside and spent years doing a full, hands-on renovation. I’m talking stripping walls, laying floors, and arguing about light fixtures. (You know, real couple stuff.)

They also started their own business, “The Good Life Experience,” which is a festival of sorts, but mostly they focus on restoring old buildings. Charlotte has said that working with wood and stone with Jonathan is more grounding than any red carpet. And honestly? That’s kinda goals.
But let’s not pretend it’s all rustic bliss. She’s given hilarious interviews about the stress of renovating with your partner. One minute you’re in love, the next you’re fighting over the fucking grout color—which is so relatable it hurts.
