The Floridian who gave birth to Jude Law's daughter in September after a fling with the actor shows off the baby girl, named Sophia, on the cover of Hello! magazine. Samantha Burke, 25, tells the magazine that Law, currently performing 8 shows of "Hamlet" a week on Broadway, has yet to meet the baby or send a gift.

But Burke thinks the baby, who DNA tests proved is Law's fourth child, looks like her famous father.

Burke tells Hello!, "'Her features are more like Jude's. She has his chin and nose, and she does a little pout that I notice that he's done before. I think her eyes are more like mine, though.

"You can't always tell when they're so young but they don't have that big, glassy look that his do - mine are a little smaller and more like hers.'

As for if and when he will meet Sophia, Law, who is in "Hamlet" through December 6, Burke said,
"There are no plans for it to happen at the moment, but I know he's busy."

Burke reportedly got $300,000 for her Hello! spread.

Sometimes women try and trap a man. I know it takes two to make a baby.....b­ut....this smells of entrapment to me! The Baby will never want, but bringing a baby into the world as a pawn is a rotten thing to do! Just saying!

My thoughts exactly.

Well, if Jude Law has yet to meet his daughter or even send a gift, I doubt the man has bothered to send any kind of child support/ma­intenance. You cannot blame a single mother in today's economy for taking advantage of this opportunity to get enough money to set aside for her daughter's needs. Plus, it will ensure she doesn't have to return to work, if she has a job, thereby allowing her to be with her baby, caring for and protecting her.

If anyone should be criticized here it's Jude Law and his lack of sensitivity by not even acknowledging the birth of his child. What a jerk. This is, what, his 4th or 5th child with yet another woman? How easy it is to find fault with the woman and excuse the man. Typical...

His children are from his marriage to Sadie Frost. He released a statement acknowledging the birth of the child and his responsibility to her. I would assume this means child support.
I agree with you that they are both at fault but perhaps he is wary of someone who would sell photos of the child to a magazine.

She lied about using birth control and used him. I don't blame him. He is now tied to this sycophantic celebrity wannabe for the next 18 years. If he agrees to see the child it will most definitely be a tabloid moment promoted by her.

In his position, why would he believe her? Sheesh. He should know, as a celebrity, that this might happen (gold diggers wanting to have his child for the fame and money); so why didn't HE use a condom? I'm sick of these guys using that old chestnut, "but she said she was on the pill!". Even if one thinks she is telling the truth about protection, remember, its still not 100% effective. The back-up plan would have been to use a condom. Just irresponsible.

Like a grown man has no access to birth control???

    Reply    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 11:52 PM on 10/26/2009

Were you there? You actually know this woman and know she wasn't protecting herself? And that excuses him? So, women are the only ones who should protect themselves? What a crock. Nothing prevented him from using a condom or, better yet, from getting a vasectomy, if for no other reason than to protect himself from gold-diggers.

The more things change, the more they stay the same...Eve­ryone is responsible for safe sex, not just women.

That doesnt hold water. *and to be honest, unless you were under those sheets with them how the heck would you know he was 'lied to about her use of birth control..I­n any case...

Jude Law is a fully grown man and father to children through Sadie Frost..He clearly ..CLEARLY knew how to get a woman pregnant. Birth Control is NOT failure proof. Its not ignorance, its not naivety on Jude's part, its negligence.
Men very well know that they need to wear a condom in this day and age irregardless of what a woman is using for HER birth control. There should have been responsibility on BOTH sides of this for birth control. But not only that...wha­t of sexually transmitted disease that EITHER of them could potentially carry.
People just dont want to think that it could happen to them.
Responsibility for prevention lays to both parties having sex.

He doesn't have to meet the baby, he may choose to give up parental rights to the child and negotiate a financial settlement in support of the child.

Given the hostile nature of the way this situation came to be known to the public, I am just curious about some of the comments regarding how Jude should see the child. Why would he want to step into a situation with the child, which doesn't seem like he wants, the mother and her family and lawyer?

I am with you. I would prefer to keep the peace in my life and take care of the financial arrangements in a buyout if possible. The child can always approach him when she is older to get to know him. It doesn't seem like a good idea to step into the activity with Samantha and her family with the child as bait. This whole situation just ...

Why is it the child's responsibility to reach out to her father? Why are so many people giving Law a break? The man is irresponsible. Period. There are far too many children growing up as wounded souls because the person who engendered them was irresponsible and careless. These are not commodities or assets to be traded or bought or sold. These are innocent human beings who did not ask to be born and yet come into the world already seen as a burden or mistake. How horrible to treat children this way.

Yeah he could do that..if he wanted to be a callous, cold hearted, irresponsible FATHER.

Fatherhood is more than paying a settlement for child support. He should have thought about where he planted it BEFORE he did so, and all the possibilities to have had a child. He was not some naive young boy when he did this. He was a grown man, already a father to many children. This child deserves no less than he gives to the others. ..and that includes loving attention and TIME.

People, if you dont want to risk having a child with a one night stand..the­n either DONT do it..or make sure youre protected fully and get a vasectomy or tubal.
There are too many kids out there being brought into the world through total lack of aforethought.

Doesn't say much for his character--if what the mom says is true--that Law has yet to meet his daughter or even send a gift.

If it wasn't his decision to have the child, why should he? If she made the decision on her own, she should be prepared to accept the responsibility on her own.
