Charlotte Church has revealed Ryan Reynolds flew her and her three kids over to America despite never meeting before.

Cardiff-born Charlotte, 37, has explained she was chosen by the stars to sing the Welsh national anthem.
"[Ryan Reynolds] flew me and my kids out to New York. Because... ‘cause yeah, they were doing the show about Wrexham, and I went and I sang the national anthem, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.
"Yeah, and I was like, look, I’m a mum, I’m a working mum ‘cause the kids were like, ‘It’s Ryan Reynolds! We have to go!’ So I was like, I’m a working mum, unfortunately you’re gonna have to bring all three of my children out, and they were like, yeah, sure, fine," she told Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett on their podcast Dish.
She added: "And then they got to meet him. Him and Rob McElhenney. And they were delicious. They were so kind, they’re so lovely.
"So yeah, I think what they’re doing for Wales – in terms of Wrexham and stuff – it’s really genuine. You know what I mean?
"Like often when people – unfortunately the way that Wales has been portrayed for such a long time is like we’re the poor relation, do you know what I mean?
Charlotte continued: "And a lot of people talk about us with- taking the p***, but actually it feels like… it’s really like, uplifting. And they’re doing it with a lot of care, and integrity, I think."
The Voice of an Angel star, who shot to fame aged just 12 with her stunning vocals, has taken a step back from the spotlight since becoming a mum.
However, she has teases she has plans to make a comeback after appearing on The Masked Singer as mushroom last year.
She said: "My main job in life is as a mother, so as long as [work] doesn’t take me away from my beautiful babies too much."
Charlotte explained she would 'love it if someone gave her the money to make an amazing album.
She revealed to OK! magazine: "The album I want to make is going to be traversing many different styles and I need an orchestra, which is expensive. But, to be honest, I’m mellow now. I’ve been doing this since I was 12 so I don’t feel like I’ve got anything to prove."

Charlotte is also opening a healing retreat centre in the country, where she'll be one of the practitioners.
