Phone-hacking victims have been pursuing damages from Rupert Murdoch's News Group
Ms Church, 25, recently spoke of press intrusion into her private life at the Leveson Inquiry into media ethics.
At least 50 claims against the NoW have now been settled.
The singer told the inquiry led by Lord Justice Leveson that her mother attempted suicide after finding out the News of the World was about to run a story about her husband's affair.
The mother-of-two also spoke of her distress after the Sun revealed her first pregnancy before she had told her family.
Press regulation Comedian Steve Coogan and former England footballer Paul Gascoigne are among the most recent public figures to settle claims for damages over hacking.
Actress Sienna Miller also settled for £100,000 damages and costs while former footballer Andy Gray accepted £20,000 in damages after his phone was hacked.
On Wednesday, Cherie Blair started legal proceedings over phone hacking "in relation to the unlawful interception of her voicemails".
The wife of former prime minister Tony Blair is also thought to be suing News Group Newspapers, but a News International spokeswoman declined to comment.
The long-running row over phone-hacking by journalists led to the closure of the NoW in July.
It also raised questions about press regulation, media ownership, the police, and relationships between politicians and journalists, which are being discussed at the ongoing Leveson Inquiry.
