With his enduring appeal, acclaimed acting career and famously striking looks, Jude Law has long been considered one of Hollywood's most charismatic leading men – qualities that appear to have been passed down to his large and talented brood.
The father of seven shares children with several partners, including model Iris Law and actor Rafferty Law, both of whom are forging careers in the spotlight. More recently, his younger children have also made headlines, with daughter Ada – whom he shares with singer Catherine Harding – drawing public attention after being mentioned in a widely reported celebrity encounter during a family trip to Brazil.
According to her stepfather, footballer Jorginho, the 11-year-old became upset after an incident involving pop star Chappell Roan at a hotel in São Paulo, where the family were staying during the Lollapalooza music festival. The footballer claimed that a member of the singer's security team approached them and claimed they were harassing the singer, after Ava walked by Chappell's table. The interaction left the young fan in tears, he wrote.
Back in February 2023, Jude welcomed his seventh child with wife Phillipa Coan after the couple were spotted strolling through Heathrow Airport with a newborn. From established names in fashion and film to younger children beginning to attract public interest, Best Quality Designer Handbag takes a closer look at Jude Law’s seven children and the unique paths each of them is carving out.
