Jude Law Walks The Kiddies To The Museum
Here is a cute pic of proud papa Jude Law taking his children for a fun day at the Children’s Museum of the Arts in NYC, NY yesterday … well, not all of his children mind you. Jude has an older son named Rafferty who didn’t tag along with daddykins and his younger sibs … Jude also has another child born of a fling he had with Samantha Burke, an aspiring actress/model from Florida who just gave birth to their lovechild late last month … but who’s counting?
It looks pretty obvious that Jude is happily devoted to his children … well, these children … and that he was having a great time bonding with them yesterday. It remains to be seen what, if any, kind of relationship he will have with his youngest child borne of his tryst with Burke. While I doubt we’ll be seeing any photos of Jude doting over his newborn babygirl, it’s at least of some relief to see him spend time with his other children.

I feel bad for his other kid…she’s going to grow up knowing since the beginning that she was just a mistake and that her dad doesn’t even want to have anything to do with her. Meanwhile she’s going to see pictures like this when she gets older…thats definitely going to do some emotional damage to her when she grows up.

I am so sick of hearing people talk about Jude’s relationship with his daughter. How gullible the internet people are! Jude and Sophia will have a relationship and do just fine, and even if her parents give her all the love, attention, and support possible, it’s the negative and lazy-ass comments by the nonthinkers, who seem to “care” way too much, who infect this place that can someday give her potential reason to be sad. Families are apart quite a lot, some kids spend more time with one parent than another, and so in this situtation, everybody will be just fine. The level of attention given to Jude’s actions is mind-boggling. Nobody knows if he’s requesting pictures everyday, if he’s seen her by webcam already, so quit trying to play armchair psychiatrist already! Jude is still working on Hamlet, a commitment he was in the throes of even before he was given benefit of knowing he’d be a father (for gosh sake, the baby was already named and practically here before he even knew it, so give him a break!) He’s not doing anything awful. And even if he lived with the mom and child, he wouldn’t be out strolling with it right now…she’s too young. So pipe down everyone and get a grip. It’s not just Jude’s intentions that factor in here, we also have a mother who could very well use the child as a weapon to her advantage and against Jude, because to some, sympathetic fame is better than none, right? Just give him space and time…he’s smart and loving eough to work it out on his own. He’s always been close and loving to his kids, this isn’t a new thing, and Sophia will have benefit of his love, if the mother is also willing to facilitate it and not jerk him around. And why does Jude get the brunt of all this speculation, but no one even questions the mom’s motivations for going ahead and bringing the child into the world without having both parents around full time? Jude wasn’t even included on that decision. So look at the mother for a while and get off Jude.
Oh, and by the way, when gay couples adopt or a single woman decides to have a child via a sperm bank, where is all the concern for male/female influences in the child’s life? See, everybody is being so unfairly narrow and closed-minded about this Sophia situation without even giving it time to gel.
Sorry for the long post. I just get ill when people jump into the pool of negativity because of baseless tabloid crap. Thus ends my raging soliloquy.

Sheryl – I don’t think that bringing gay/straight issue is relevant here? If this was a gay couple we’re talking about I’d still say exactly the same thing. Any child that comes from a broken family (which includes born out of wedlock) will no doubtly suffer some degree of emotional trauma. Surely most will grow up normal in the end but many will develop personalities issues resulting from absent parents (e.g. low self esteem, short relationships, lack of emotional security). And yes, this also goes for single women who have a child via sperm. Its all a part of being human, we were all born wanting both a mother and a father. You simply cannot condense the role of 2 parents into 1 and expect to have a very happy child. The baby may seem ‘normal’ to you, but I’m positive that most will feel a void from not having a ‘normal’ childhood. You need to calm down with the rage as I believe any child pscyhologist will probably say the same thing.

Uh, okay, an argument started. I just want to say that that photo is very cute.

I believe he is a good father. Sure he will just send the one night stand the check and forget her. He don’t have bother with the one nightstand’s baby. I wonder what the one night stand chick was thinking when she did not use protection. What was he thinking when he trusted her to use protection. Dude needs to get fixed so this don’t happen again. To bad neither thought about aids.

Oh, give me a break, “V”, I don’t have “rage,” I’m expressing my opinion. Sorry, but the world is full of children who live with one or other of their parents, and kids get over it. Some kids have parents who die and they learn to get over that, too. That’s what life is about. This situation is nothing special, and everybody will figure it out the best they can, they don’t need the rest of the world telling them how to run their business. My biggest gripe is everybody meddling as though they have some special insight into Jude’s (or anybody’s) life, when in fact they don’t know jack shit, they just like being busybodies. It’s called being fair…that’s part of life, too. If somebody has something to say about my life, when they don’t know jackshit, I have no hesitation in telling them to f-ck off and get their nose back on their face. Tidy up your own back yard, and I’ll deal with mine.

meream, i agree that the picture is so cute. the matching jackets are cavity-inducing.
people, single mothers are capable of fulfilling the role of both mother and father. it’s in this article somewhere on sciencedaily but i ain’t gonna bother looking for it now. so chill okay? it’s good to have both biological parents to raise the child, but being in a single family doesn’t mean the kid’s gonna be emotionally screwed. a stable home is more important. sheryl, you did say in your first comment that it was a “raging soliloquy” so…

Senko, it was poor choice of words….I meant raging as in long and wordy…not necessarily “in rage.” I don’t possess that level of passion about it, I just talk a lot. I work for an agency that has to remove children from their homes daily for protective custody, and a lot of these homes involve 2-parent families as well as single families, so 2-parent homes do not guarantee stability, happiness, emotional health, etc. Kids in 2-parent homes are just as likely to suffer because of parents arguing, father is abusive to mother or kids or both and won’t let them go, parents are emotionally unavailable and tied up with their careers, etc. People marrying just because a kid is on the way is a good recipe for failure…so the kids gets used to mom and dad being around and then one day, there’s a divorce and kid is devastated by it, thinking it’s their fault. So kids are not going to be spared pain, it’s meant for them to learn to deal with it, because life is going to full of it. Nobody is spared, whatever the cause.
