The first time most fans heard about Jude Law's kids was during the fiasco with his nanny. After all, one of his kids saw Jude with the nanny, which led to him telling his mom, which then led to all the tabloid drama fans read about.
At that time, Jude only had three children with his ex Sadie Frost. Then, of course, he dated Sienna Miller, and the two had a love triangle that featured Daniel Craig. But after that, Jude went on to have three more kids with three different women.
In 1997, Jude Law married Sadie Frost. They had three kids together before their divorce in 2003; Rafferty was born in 1996, Iris came along in 2000, and Rudy arrived in 2002.
Since Jude's oldest child is 24 and his youngest is only a couple of months old, the famous dad likely has an interesting home life. For one thing, Rafferty was recently linked to Rita Ora, and not in a casual way.
Rafferty's all grown these days, and he's both a model and a musician. He also looks a lot like his famous dad.
Iris Law, whose Instagram is private, is a model as well, though she seems to keep a lower profile than her big brother. That doesn't stop the paparazzi from snapping her while she's out on the town with her boyfriend, though.
The third child that Jude shares with ex Sadie is Rudy, who just turned 18 this year. Jude and his wife Phillipa Coan, and of course Rudy's mom, were all in attendance for the festivities. But apart from going out to party, Rudy keeps a low profile; his last project was in 2013's 'Dotty,' in which he starred with his mom.
The three Law-Frost kids also have three younger half-siblings. Jude had a daughter with short-term fling Samantha Burke in 2009. Jude didn't immediately acknowledge Sophia, however; Women Working highlighted that the high-profile actor requested a DNA test before he would recognize Sophia as his daughter.
Samantha explained, after their encounter came to light, that Jude "was funny and very down-to-earth," and that neither expected to have a child together afterward. Jude met his little girl, post-paternity test, when she was five months old.
And, according to Women Working, he agreed to pay $6K per month in child support until she turns 18. Still, he reportedly doesn't see Sophia much; about once a year, according to those 'in the know.'
Jude's fifth child is Ada Law, born to singer Catherine Harding in 2015. At the time, Mirror reported that Catherine and Jude had dated for around seven months prior to her pregnancy.
Jude came to the hospital when Ada was born, and he was very involved in her life from day one, said Catherine. Jude even took her to visit with her brothers and sisters, so it's clear that Ada, now five, knows the rest of her family quite well.
As for the final Law child, the baby was born in September 2020, and neither Jude nor wife Phillipa have revealed a name (or gender) as of yet.
