Jude Law calls for baby DNA test
Updated 09:19am on 3 Aug 2009Jude Law is demanding a paternity test to check he is the father of a pregnant model's child.
The actor, who appeared grim-faced last night after a spending the evening at the Koha bar and restaurant, Leicester Square, was told he was going to be a father again a week ago.
Grim: Jude Law wants to be certain baby is his
The 36-year-old, who already has three children from his marriage to the actress Sadie Frost, was understood to be horrified when he received a letter from the lawyers of Samantha Burke, 24, confirming she was seven months' pregnant.
The pair enjoyed a brief relationship while they were filming Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes at Christmas, but Law has told friends he believed the American model and actress was on the pill at the time.
Now he is understood to be asking Miss Burke to agree to a DNA test saying he wants to be “100 per cent certain” that the child is his.
One friend said: “At the moment Jude doesn't know for sure he is the father. He thinks he is — but he wants to be 100 per cent certain. There has been a lot of speculation.”
The baby girl, which has already been named Sophia, is due in October. Law has vowed to support Miss Burke and the baby if she is proved to be his.

Why oh why do men say this ' she said she was on the pill at the time'..so you are a world famous celebrity, and many of you sleep with many women and you are STILL not using your OWN protection?! Do STDs not mean anything to you celebs? Shaking my head. PLUS to top it off, she wants to be famous, she has admitted that. Having his child means she will have his money and like other non talented bimbos, just the connection will get them a show on TV. She has thought this through. I do wonder who is the smartest one...lol.

He assumed she was taking the pill?
Why didn't he wear a condom? He engaged in unprotected sex. If he is confirmed as the father I hope he pays the price.
Perhaps he should undergo the snip.

You know if I was that model I would really hope that he wasn't the father of the child......................what a first class 'PRATT' he is. She is far better off without him................... and perhaps next time she will be more 'careful'...............
