In a statement, the rep said: “I can confirm that Jude Law and Catherine Harding are expecting a child together in the spring. Whilst they are no longer in a relationship, they are both wholeheartedly committed to raising their child.

“They consider this a private matter and other than this confirmation no statement will be made. I ask that you respect the privacy of all parties involved and their families.”

The 41-year-old, already has three children with his ex-wife Sadie Frost – 18-year-old Rafferty, 12-year-old Rudy, and 13-year-old Iris – and another daughter, five-year-old Sophia with model Samantha Burke.

Jude has previously spoken on his love of being a dad, saying: “Being a daddy is what counts. I used to sleep until noon, but it’s not so bad to have to get up at 7 and give them breakfast.

“My daughter made me realise that if there’s anything that’s going to make a man of you, it’s having your will broken by a little girl.”
