Jude Law & his ex Catherine Harding welcomed a baby girl, his fifth child

wenn22095005

Back in October of last year, we heard that Jude Law was expecting his FIFTH child by a third baby-mama. Jude has three kids with ex-wife Sadie Frost, plus a daughter, Sophia, with his one-time hookup Samantha Burke. And now the third baby-mama has given birth. This lady is Catherine Harding (stage name: Cat Cavelli) and she’s only 23 or 24 years old. They had a daughter, name unknown.

Jude Law is a father again. The actor and his ex Catherine Harding have welcomed a baby girl, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.

“I can confirm the arrival of Jude Law and Catherine Harding’s daughter,” Law’s rep said in a statement Tuesday. “Both are delighted and continue to ask that their privacy and that of their child be respected.”

Law, 42, who has three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost (sons Rafferty, 18, and Rudy, 12, and daughter Iris, 14) and another daughter, Sophia, 5, with model Samantha Burke, confirmed that he was expecting a fifth child (his first with the singer-songwriter) in October.

“Whilst they are no longer in a relationship, they are both wholeheartedly committed to raising their child,” the actor’s rep said in a statement at the time.

Well… congrats to them. I think this was probably handled better than the Samantha Burke situation, mostly because Burke seemed to think that Jude was going to drop everything to be with her and the baby while all he really wanted was a paternity test. It sounds like Jude and Catherine were legitimately dating for at least a few months. And I guess Jude either hates condoms or he’s just super-fertile and no birth control can hold back his swimmers. Jude’s paychecks must be going entirely to child support at this point. Yikes.

    Yeah…this dude is right up there with KFed. They both have navy seal sperm. I’m afraid to shake either one’s hand for fear of getting pregnant.

  2. Renee28 says:

    Someone buy this guy some condoms.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      He needs to be wrapped head to toe in a giant condom.

    • Azurea says:

      Um, condoms can fail, people.

      • Tulip says:

        Agree. Condoms do fail and birth control is a 2-person responsibility. Harass the woman equally, or just call her a gold digger already.

        But, since the kid is here, congratulations on the baby girl!

      • snowflake says:

        seriously, five times? more like judy doesn’t like to wear one. nasty!

      • Ripley says:

        Well as the first three were with his wife, Sadie, I’m thinking maybe they were planned? Closer to two times 😀

    • Audrey says:

      It’s time for a vasectomy for him. Vasectomy+condoms cause this is getting ridiculous lol

  3. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    Okay wow, I was thinking that he was getting women pregnant left and right (like Hugh Grant)….but only two women outside of his marriage? That’s not that much.

    And lol, I’m a little sensitive to that, because of some recent events–remember how I was always talking about how I had a bajillion siblings out there? Yeeep. I have got a total of NINE siblings; five new ones. Four of them are older than me, one is the same age as my little brother, and we ALL have different siblings.

    That’s seven kids with six different baby mama’s (me and my twin)…yeah……

    But I will say this–He must lurve writing out them child support checks. Because if I was a man, and had that much money (or no money at all, come to think about it), I’d buy my lady birth control AND use a condom–if I didn’t want kids.

    • wonderwoman21 says:

      Hey I think we are in the same boat (and it better be a big boat for all the siblings!). I have a total of 8 siblings ages 38 through 8 from four different partnerships. Plus two sets of the siblings have their own siblings.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        Except for ONE of them, all of my siblings have at least two siblings…….

  4. Miran says:

    I still would. Receding hairline and all.

  5. Lilacflowers says:

    V-A-S-E-C-T-O-M-Y. Can you spell it, Jude?

  6. Lucy2 says:

    You would think after one accidental pregnancy, he’d go get snipped! Agree that those must be some big checks he signs every month.
    Curious to see if the media goes after him like they did Kate Winslet, especially since he’s only been married to one of the mothers and this new one is half his age.

  7. Birdie says:

    We should start collecting condoms and send it to him.

  8. MrsBPitt says:

    This guy is a reckless human being, who needs to learn what a vasectomy is!

  9. Jag says:

    He needs to keep it in his pants.

    Actually I think Jude likes being a dad (at least when he wants too). But I think he also loves being a playboy, which is why relationships don’t seem to last. But I’ve never heard he was a bad father, and certainly nothing about him complaining or trying to get out of child support. Congrats on the new addition.

  11. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    So irresponsible. At least he supports his children, but for God’s sake, how many “accidents” can one man have? I know this isn’t fashionable, and that children of divorced or never married parents can have perfectly happy, healthy lives, but why do this over and over on purpose? Stupid.

    • MP says:

      It really gets to my nerves that men are called responsible fathers if they send the child support checks on time. Women are bad moms if they change their hair style…

      • kai says:

        AMEN.

      • snowflake says:

        right?! and people talking smack about that one woman who had kids by 3 husbands, but jude gets a pass? i don’t think kids dream of child support, they dream of having an actual daddy in their life and I don’t think Jude is a present dad. money doesn’t make up for that. just means mommy doesn’t have to work as hard to support kiddo

      • LIna says:

        Jude’s kids With Sadie lives With him 50 % of the time…

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        Yeah–unless you live on separate continents, I think that both parents should live, at the very least, hours away from each other, so both parents can see their kids equally–ideally. I know some parents who have their kids for the school year, and the other parent (who lives out of state) gets the kids for holidays and the summer. My mom always said that if she and my dad ever divorced, that she’d move right next door.

        But yes–I honestly would never respect someone who doesn’t pay child support, and doesn’t be their kid’s PARENT on a regular basis.

        It’s sad that a man paying his child support is seen as being the high point of being a good father. That’s how low the bar has been set.

        Personally, I know of only TWO divorced fathers who pay their child support on time, and have their kids 50% (and more) of the time. Other than that, half of my family is single mothers whose baby daddy’s never show up.

    He needs a (new) hobby. I know that he’s got tons of money, the women are consenting adults, etc. but FFS bag it up CSI-style because you are heading into Biblical patriarch territory, Jude.
