Jude Law’s Babymama Shows Off Their Baby Girl In ‘Hello!’ Magazine
Meet Sophia Lee Burke-Law

Yesterday we learned that Jude Law‘s babymama, Samantha Burke, worked out a deal to sell the first baby photos of their lovechild, Sophia Lee, to Hello! magazine when we saw a photo of Burke and baby arriving at the site of their photoshoot last week. Well, it turns out that Hello! magazine works FAST when it comes to publishing celebrity baby photos cuz the magazine has already been published and is ready to hit newsstands. Here is our FIRST LOOK at the baby borne of Jude Law and Samantha Burke‘s love tryst which took place earlier this year:


Samantha Burke has shown off five-week-old Sophia Lee, her daughter by actor Jude Law, for the first time. The glowing 25-year-old brunette posed for a glossy photoshoot at her Florida home for Hello! magazine, with her baby, who was born weighing just 5lb 12oz after mother Samantha suffered a 25-hour labour. But despite DNA results proving the actor is the father of Burke’s child following a brief relationship, she revealed he has not yet visited his fourth child. Jude is currently wowing audiences on New York’s Broadway with his spellbinding performance in Hamlet. But it seems that his first glimpse of the child he has confirmed he is the father of will come at the same time as the rest of the world. Miss Burke, who reportedly earned £185,000 for the photoshoot, said: ‘She’s already got such a great personality. I think he’ll fall in love with her when he sees her.’ Describing Sophia, Samantha said she looks more like her famous father, and is already showing signs of sharing his mannerisms. ‘Her features are more like Jude’s. She has his chin and nose, and she does a little pout that I notice that he’s done before. I think her eyes are more like mine, though. ‘You can’t always tell when they’re so young but they don’t have that big, glassy look that his do – mine are a little smaller and more like hers.’ In a revealing interview, Miss Burke tells how she met Jude at a club in New York, and that the devoted father of three children – Rafferty, 13, Iris, nine, and Rudy, seven with ex-wife Sadie Frost – has not yet travelled to meet Sophia. ‘There are no plans for it to happen at the moment, but I know he’s busy.’ Asked if she had received any presents from Jude, who demanded a DNA test a few months ago, the former model admitted: ‘No nothing.’ She also revealed her hopes for her daughter’s relationship with the actor, who will soon be seen in Guy Ritchie’s film Sherlock Holmes. She said: ‘I hope for him to be just as good as he is to his three children by Sadie Frost. He’s a great father to his three kids. She’s his daughter and I believe he’ll come through. I mean once you see her face, how can you deny it?’ She also denied claims that she is a ‘gold-digger’, insisting: ‘It really hurt. I have never dated a guy for money. All my ex-boyfriends were just normal guys.’ A spokesman for Law acknowledged the pregnancy in a statement released in July after reports surfaced in the media that Burke was expecting. ‘Jude Law can confirm that, following a relationship last year, he has been advised that he is to be the father of a child due in the fall of this year,’ the actor’s representative said. ‘Mr Law is no longer in a relationship with the individual concerned but he intends to be a fully supportive part of the child’s life. This is an entirely private matter and no other statements will be made.’

There ain’t no denying that little Sophia Lee is a precious and beautiful baby. Whatever the circumstances of her conception, she is an adorable little miracle and should be treated as such. While I can’t say that I necessarily blame mama Burke for selling the photos to Hello! magazine, I do hope that she is smart with the money and socks it away for her daughter should papa Jude Law not step up and care for this child like he does for his other children. It’s really crappy for this innocent little girl that her famous father seems to want nothing to do with her … like it’s her fault :( In the end, I wish everyone involved the best of luck … this is not an ideal situation by any means. Sophia Lee is just the cutest little thing … may she live a long and happy life full of LOVE from her family. If you are interested in seeing more photos of Sophia Lee, you can pick up a copy of Hello! mag which hits newsstands this week.

    I think it’s gross that she’s exploiting the child this way..She seems a bit on the kooky side..But no matter what, I hope Jude Law steps up and is part of his daughter’s life in some way! There are enough deadbeat daddies in the world..

    they made Burke look so old!

  3. Ama says:

    I’m not a big fan of Jude, but I’m sure he will support and be there for his daughter later on, well more then just giving her money. I don’t know only time will tell what can happen, but I hope she grows up healthy and happy.

    I still don’t like her mother, because she seems to um shady to me? I guess that will be the right word. But that’s just me and I already said more yesterday XD so..I’ll just leave it at that.

    Also;Sophia is adorable.

    She looks awful on the cover!

    I think Jude will be good to his daughter. He just doesn’t let the media into the lives of his children so he won’t start now.

  5. anne says:

    i think it’s crappy that the mom is a famewhore

  6. senko says:

    how long has he been in NY? i mean, the baby’s just five weeks old… if he’s still so busy with the hamlet play he can’t possibly come down, job commitments and all… right?

  7. nae says:

    money whore! pathetic fame whore!!!!

  8. shocked at the comments says:

    I think it’s great that she is speaking the truth and also only saying positive things about Jude and her baby. When asked a direct question as in has he sent any gifts, she responds truthfully, but not scorned. The only thing that would come from mudslinging is retaliation. She seems to get that. It’s refreshing.

    I don’t understand why he hasn’t met his daughter yet. I guess it’s inconceivable to me that a parent does not meet their new born child ASAP (not counting certain jobs like the military, etc). I know he is a busy actor but don’t they have understudies? Couldn’t he leave to see her for a day or two?

    I have a feeling Jude doesn’t plan on being too involved in her life which is just very sad. I hope I’m wrong.

    I know they have laws for child actors assuring that any money they make is put into an account for them until they turn 18, so that their parents can’t spend their money. Does it count on things like these photoshoots that people do with their kids? Out of that $300,000 how much of that is Sophia’s? Should be at least half since no magazine would have paid this woman $300G’s without that child.
