British actor Jude Law has welcomed a baby with 24-year-old musician Catherine Harding.
A spokesperson for the star released a statement to the Mail Online, reading: "I can confirm the arrival of Jude Law and Catherine Harding’s daughter. Both are delighted and continue to ask that their privacy and that of their child be respected."
British singer/songwriter Catherine- who is known as Cat Cavelli- fell pregnant with Jude’s baby last year following a short romance.
The Cold Mountain star’s rep told People magazine that the couple were no longer together by the time they announced the pregnancy.
