Gettin’ To Know Jude Law’s New Babymama
As you may recall, on Thursday we learned that Jude Law is going to be the father of his 4th child after he inadvertently got a young actress/model pregs after he enjoyed a fling with her in NYC early this year while he was filming Sherlock Holmes in NYC. On Friday we learned that Jude’s babymama is a Florida woman named Samantha Burke and, apparently, she had to go thru Jude’s publicist to inform him of the happy news of their unplanned baby (we learned this, of course, after Burke’s legal representative reached to to TMZ to ensure that news of her identity was disseminated to the Internets appropriately). Last night, Jude Law greeted his fans in London after he emerged from the West End theater where he is currently starring in a production of Hamlet … and he was lookin’ decidedly more sweaty than usual:

Could it be that news of his new baby is givin’ him the sweats? Could be … after all, the woman he is now saddled with sounds like she was lookin’ to get as close to Jude as possible, being the big fan that she is. If you consider how quickly she jumped on the media bandwagon to ENSURE that everyone learn her identity as Jude’s babymama … well, I’d say Mr. Law has quite the cause to sweat:

The news that a 24-year-old model and aspiring actress from Florida is seven months pregnant by actor Jude Law came as a bolt out of the blue. Samantha Burke, who is due to give birth in October, will soon be the mother of the British star’s fourth child. She had a brief fling with Jude last Christmas during the filming of the new Guy Ritchie movie, Sherlock Holmes. Her lawyers have confirmed that the 36-year-old actor, who has three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost, is the father of the model’s unborn baby. In a statement, Jude has pledged to ‘fully support’ his new offspring however the actress’s family are said to be horrified, and have instructed their lawyer to prepare an action to ensure mother and baby are looked after financially for the rest of their lives. But the actor is also frightened that intimate photos taken by Miss Burke will leak out. Jude is said to be ‘ashed with anxiety’ over the photos which keen amateur photographer Miss Burke took during their time together in New York. He is worried they will embarrass Sadie and their three children. A source told The Sun: ‘Samantha was totally smitten with Jude and enjoyed photographing him hugely. It was a passionate fling and there was a real animal attraction. ‘He’s been ashen with anxiety, especially because he’s putting his loved ones through more stress.’ … The woman in question fits his usual type. [Samantha Burke] is a young wannabe model and actress … The pair had a short fling when Jude and two of his children were living in New York during the filming of Sherlock Holmes last December. The 24-year-old brunette is due to give birth to a baby girl, whom she plans to name Sophia, on October 6, which coincidentally is also the birthday of Jude’s oldest son Rafferty. There is already a registered gift list at infant retail emporium Babies R Us. Samantha has a profile on their website which says she is planning to decorate the nursery in ’safari dècor’ with a ’splash of deep red’ … A source in the U.S. told media that Samantha, who has had to move back home to Pensacola, Florida, struggled to get in touch with her former lover. ‘Samantha was trying to reach Jude to tell him she was having his child, but she couldn’t get hold of him,’ a source said. ‘He had given her a mobile phone number, but it was no longer working and Jude was working on a film. Finally she contacted Jude through his publicist. She had to go through his PR person to inform him she was pregnant with his child.’ But earlier this year, Miss Burke gushed about her pregnancy to a friend on the website Model Mayhem. ‘My tummy is growing!’ she wrote excitedly on the friend’s profile page. ‘October is when I am due, so maybe you’ll get to meet the little girly.’
What a mess … but, you reap what you sow. It’s unfortunate that things like this tend to happen but … they do happen. This is why it’s very important to practice safe sex, y’all. I’m still of the mind that it was the Jude’stache that got Jude in trubs with this girl. You can’t just go around rockin’ a sexy porn’stache and not expect to get into some sort of trouble. My guess is that Ms. Burke will be flaunting this baby bump all over the place. This surely is not the last we’ve heard from her.

Hmm Jude Law is probably a great lover. And he has probably had several lovers after her. Hope she has a happy life, though. This is great material for a book. :D

How much do you want to bet that she’ll sell the first baby pics to people or some other magazine, so that she can milk it even further.

@Ana S. — That’s a good bet, you are prolly right.

I just don’t understand why people do these things to themselves,what is wrong with safe-sex ? Its almost hard to believe this man and woman didn’t mean for this to happen, he should take some of his money and buy stock in Trojan hey its just a thought!

Golddigging famewhore… but that’s what you get for not being careful. Always use a condom!

Um, according to that link article – she has not spoken out publically … It’s not hard to access what someone has said on a social network or website … and is leaving one’s house considered “flaunting a baby bump”.
I just don’t see what they have done wrong? So they got accidently pregnant – BIG DEAL … it happens all the time. None of our business.
