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.
“I can confirm that Jude Law and Catherine Harding are expecting a child together in the spring. Whilst they are no longer in a relationship, they are both wholeheartedly committed to raising their child.
“They consider this a private matter and other than this confirmation no statement will be made. I ask that you respect the privacy of all parties involved and their families.”
Jude, 42, is already father to three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost: Rafferty, 18, Iris, 14 and Rudy, 12. He is also dad to daughter Sophie, 5, from a short-lived relationship with American model Samantha Burke.
