Jude Law’s Baby Mama Holds A Press Conference To Plead For Privacy
Posted on August 4, 2009 - 2:12pm by MMuerte
Last week we learned the SHOCKING news that one of Jude Law's lovers was knocked up and although we were left stymied for a whole day wondering who the lucky girl impregnated with Jude's seed was...
Now we alllll know.
Samantha Burke,
Jude Law's newest baby mama, introduced herself to the world -- literally.
Samantha told a throng of reporters, "Hi, I'm
Samantha Burke" -- and then her lawyer read a brief statement before Samantha asked everyone to respect her privacy.
Jude Law just announced that he was going to become a father for the fourth time on Wednesday and now lawyers for mom-to-be Samantha Burke reveal in an exclusive statement to
PEOPLE that they'll be having a little girl named Sophia.
"Samantha, her mom, and her family can affirm that Jude has been responsive and supportive throughout the relationship and pregnancy, and know that he will remain so as a father once Baby Sophia is born," says the statement. "Jude and Samantha remain committed to the health and well-being of this child, and appreciate your honoring her privacy during this special time."
The lawyers for Burke, a 24-year-old aspiring actress from Pensacola, Fla., who had a brief relationship with the actor when he was filming Sherlock Holmes in New York City last year, also confirm that she wouldn't be granting any interviews despite numerous requests. "This remains a private matter between Jude Law and Samantha Burke," the statement reads.
Here's the video of the press conference.

Okay so, basically Burke wanted the world to just give her some
publicity privacy.
Burke's daughter is due on October 6.
