DNA tests have confirmed that British film star Jude Law fathered a child after an affair with an American model. Samatha Burke, 24, hit headlines earlier this year when she became pregnant during a brief fling with the actor while he was filming Sherlock Holmes in New York City last winter.

Burke gave birth to daughter Sophia on Sept. 22 and went ahead with DNA testing to prove the child’s paternity. The model’s representative, Eileen Kock, has confirmed that Jude is Sophia’s father. “Samantha can confirm that DNA testing has conclusively established that Jude Law is Sophia’’s father,” Kock said in statement Sunday.

However, Jude’s publicist has refused to comment on the statement, adding, “We don’t discuss this. We consider it an entirely private matter.”
