Jude Law is just about to welcome his fifth child, and it looks as if it’s a baby girl!

The 42-year-old actor, whose former girlfriend Catherine Harding is getting ready to welcome their baby, recently gushed over his growing brood admitting that his children made him “happy”.

Jude, who is also stepfather to his ex-wife Sadie Frost’s 24-year-old son Finlay, told New York Post’s Page Six: “Four children, another on the way… I’m a happy man these days.”

His spokesman confirmed the baby news in October and 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 actor looked pretty hunk at the Black Sea after party at Macao Trading Co in New York City this week and beaming from ear-to-ear.
