How to centre 2 views within a container view with Autolayout

I'm using autolayout in IB and I have 2 labels within a container view. Both labels are "Size to Fit Content" since the strings lengths will vary.

I would like the labels separated by a fixed distance and I would like the combination of "Label 1---fixed distance---Label 2" centred horizontal within the containing view.

enter image description here

I tried selecting both labels at once and adding the "Horizontal Center in Container" constraint, but this appears to centre both textfields independently not as a group.

You can do this by placing the labels inside a container view. Each label is flush against the edges of the container, and the container is centered in your custom view.
