Law refuses to discuss baby daughter

Jude Law refused to speak about his baby daughter during a TV interview.

Despite showing he is willing to laugh at himself in a range of sketches on US TV show ‘Saturday Night Live’ – which he co-hosted last weekend and dressed as a Spanish lothario serial killer and a Soviet ballet dancer – the ‘Alfie’ star was surprised to be quizzed about six-month-old Sophia, the child he fathered with model Samantha Burke following a brief fling.

Interviewer Ravish said to him: “According to the National Enquirer in December 2008, you impregnated a woman...”

Jude nervously smiled and said: “OK, OK, that's enough Ravish... that tabloid stuff isn't really nice to talk about in an interview. Maybe I should just go.”

While Jude was reluctant to speak about the tot, the ‘Repo Men’ actor – who has three other children with ex-wife Sadie Frost – has reportedly agreed a custody settlement with Samantha.

He is said to have agreed to visit Sophia twice a year and will pay £5,000 (€5,500) a month maintenance on the agreement his former lover won’t speak to the media about him.

A source said: "Jude will visit his daughter at least twice a year, once around Christmas. His visit to meet Sophia in February was fleeting and seemed mainly business-like."
