A few weeks ago we saw a cute photo of Jude Law walking his youngest son Rudy and daughter Iris to a museum in NYC and then about a week ago we saw photos of Jude playing with his two sons Rafferty and Rudy in a Manhattan park. This weekend, Jude was spotted kicking around the ol’ soccer ball with all three of his children with ex-wife Sadie Frost … behold:

To my knowledge, I don’t believe that Jude Law has yet made the effort to meet his newest child, a baby girl named Sophia Lee, who was born about a month ago. It’s clear he loves his 3 oldest children very much … even tho he is divorced from their mother. I hope he will, one day soon, realize that his new daughter is just as precious a gift as his other children … irregardless of how he may feel for her mother. It’s just a bummer to see Jude so playful with his “legitimate” children when he has a month old newborn baby daughter who has yet to meet him.

Yesterday morning the world got its first look at Jude Law’s new daughter Sophia Lee with babymama Samantha Burke but I don’t think that Jude was among the curious folks checking out Hello! magazine to see what the little darling looks like. Jude spent part of his bizzy Monday playing with his sons Rafferty Indiana and Rudy in NYC … very likely paying no attention to the fact that his newborn daughter is featured on the cover of the new issue of Hello!

Jude Law played the hands-on father to sons Rafferty, 13, and Rudy, seven, taking them for a kickabout in the park in New York. And the irony would not be lost on Samantha Burke, the mother of his fourth child, Sophia Lee, now five weeks old, who was unveiled in an interview with Hello! magazine yesterday. While Jude, 36, played happy families with his boys – daughter Iris, nine, is also in the city with her father – Miss Burke has yet to introduce the actor to his new daughter, born as a result of their brief liaison. The model said Law has given no indication that he will visit the baby. ‘There are no plans for it to happen at the moment, but I know he’s busy,’ she said, referring to his current lead role in Hamlet on Broadway. Miss Burke, 25, who had a brief relationship with Law as he made a film in New York, said there had been no contact from the actor, who has three children by ex-wife Sadie Frost.

HMMM … it sure does look like Jude really loves and adores his children … with Sadie Frost. Tho, he doesn’t seem to exhibit the same affinity for his newborn daughter Sophia Lee. While I can understand that he may not be proud of fathering a child from a “one-night stand” liaison, I cannot for the life me imagine how one could so easily discard the birth of a new child. I do hope, for Sophia’s sake, that Jude decides to to meet with his daughter … she sure is a cutie … and I’m sure she’d love to meet her daddy.

Jude Law, who has been on holiday with his ex-wife Sadie Frost and his three children Rafferty, Iris and Rudy for the past week or so, was snapped doing a bit of poolside reading at the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this week lookin’ about as fine as one can look while reading a book sans shirt … check it out:

While I’m happy to see that the luscious Jude’stache is still in full effect, I’m afraid the rest of his facial scruff is taking away from the ’stache itself. I mean, I realize that he is on holiday and all but … attention must be paid to the Jude’stache — it must be maintained. But I digress … I cannot figure out what book Jude is reading in these photos but, it must be said, he looks pretty sexy reading whatever it is that he’s reading. You gotta love a man that reads, no?

Jude Law, who has recently been very bizzy shooting scenes for the new Guy Ritchie-directed big screen adaptation of Sherlock Holmes in London in recent months, was spotted over the weekend with his children Rafferty, Rudy and Iris (not pictured) along with ex-wife Sadie Frost on holiday in Brazil. Here are a few pics of the fam chillin’ at the beach as they enjoyed their vacay with one another … Jude’stache included:

There have been reports in the last few weeks that Jude and Sadie might be working towards a reconciliation since divorcing in 2003. As you may recall, Sadie left Jude after it was discovered that he was cheating on her with Sienna Miller (HMMM, where have I heard that before?). Apparently this South American family vacay is only the latest in a string of amicable activities between the ex-lovers:

Jude Law and Sadie Frost have sparked rumours of a reconciliation after going house-hunting together. The former couple – who divorced in 2003 after six years of marriage – are said to be getting their relationship back on track and have decided to purchase a property to give the four children they raise together a family home in the countryside. A source said: “Jude and Sadie have been getting on fantastically in the past six months. When her business FrostFrench went bust, Jude offered his support in any way. “He decided to help her buy some where in Hampshire, in the countryside, a real family place. They plan to invest together and give their children a truly loving home.” Jude, 35, and Sadie, 43, have also booked a vacation to South America with their kids so they can all spend Christmas together. The source added to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “They have always tried to stay on good terms for the sake of their kids and Christmas is important to both of them. So this year they’re splashing out on a luxury break to Brazil to spend the festive break as a family. “Pals are desperately hoping a romantic reunion is on the cards.” The pair were photographed laughing and looking cosy at an event in London’s Royal Opera House earlier this week, leading to suggestions they have already rekindled their romance.

If you also consider that Jude is celebrating his birthday today with his children and Sadie and, well, it does seem like they are gettin’ awfully close again. I wasn’t too keen on Jude when he was cheatin’ with Sienna so if it turns out that he and Sadie can repair their marriage then I’m all for it — as long as Sadie backs off on trying to get him to shave off his Jude’stache, she’s alright in my book. Mebbe 2009 is the year the couple will officially get back on track.
