Samantha Burke, Expecting Jude Law's Baby, Holds Press Conference To Ask For Privacy (VIDEO)

Samantha Burke, the 24-year-old actress-model from Florida expecting Jude Law's baby in October after a brief relationship, held a press conference at her mother's home, along with her lawyers, to ask for her privacy.

As reflected in her Babies R Us registry, Burke plans to name the girl Sophia.

Waving to the gathered photographers as she exited the home, she introduced herself to the world with, "Hi, I'm Samantha Burke."

After one of the lawyers spoke (scroll below the video to read his statement) Samantha said, "I would just really appreciate if everyone would respect my privacy."

Law is currently in England appearing in Hamlet on the West End.

Burke's statement:
"Ms. Burke can confirm that she did in fact have a relationship with Mr. Law and that she has informed Mr. Law that she is expecting his child later this fall," the statement reads. "Since informing Mr. Law of the pregnancy, he has been nothing but responsive and supportive of Ms. Burke and the pregnancy. Mr. Law and Ms. Burke are committed to the health, safety and well-being of this child throughout the pregnancy and after the child is born."

cha ching!! $$$$$$$$$$

that baby is this woman's gravy train!

[StopMakingSense2]

He got a nice ride and she got the money train. They both knew the score and rolled the dice.

Do the math, young fertile woman, no protection­====equals BABY. If men don't want more children and are careless, get fixed.

[sweetwhine]

Most everyone on here is blaming this girl for it all. Like he just fell on top of her.

Jude should be ashamed of himself. The puto!

[flurryup]

I barely know who she is and Jude Law ain't all that. Kinda like Palin, calling a news conference to say leave me alone. A lot of women have babies chica, no big deal.

[NoSillyName]

That's ironic? Maybe I missed something.

[NoSillyName]

They're making it sound as if JL is supportive and involved. That's the total opposite of the other JL article here at HP.

She seems pretty naive. If JL just wants pick-up sex, he should use hookers.

[blimie]

She's 24? She looks older.

[arpaul]

LOOK AT ME when I'm telling you not to LOOK AT ME!

[lettertoelise]

That was an extremely odd bit of tabloid.

What I really don't understand is - why is this "a very hard time"? What crisis and/or tragedy is she going through? She's having a baby. She's obviously got a family that thinks they have to do everything for her - and - she's going to get monetary support from the man who is this baby's father. What's with all the high drama?

[stephyj]

i was just thinking that i have to give her credit for being such a classy baby-mama and not taking jude law on the maury show although wouldn't all of us liked to have seen that episode....JUDE YOU ARE THE FATHER

[SpencerCat]

CLASSY? She calls a press conference to say please don't put me in the media, and you call her classy?
A classy woman would use birth control.

[sf girl]

Has Jude Law heard of condoms? He should look into it.

Jude:

Keep it official - Let the lawyers handle this heifer.

[scorpioleidy]

Heifer - love it!

[scorpioleidy]

Calling a press conference to say leave me alone? Who does that?!
