Hey Jude! You're a dad again

British actor Jude Law has become a father for the fourth time.

Just two months after he confirmed that his former girlfriend Samantha Burke was expecting, the model and actress has given birth.

Sophia was born on September 22 and weighed 5 pounds and 12 ounces.

Samantha's spokesperson said: 'She is overwhelmed with joy at the arrival of her beautiful and healthy baby girl, Sophia. The baby and mum are doing wonderful.'

Jude currently has three children with his ex-wife Sadie Frost and is step father to her eldest son.

He's currently starring in a Broadway production of Shakespeare's play Hamlet.

Before Sophia was born, the actor said he intended 'to be a fully supportive part of the child's life'.
