Jude Law has become a father for the fifth time, his representative has confirmed.

According to the MailOnline, the actor welcomed a baby girl with former girlfriend Catherine Harding on Monday, with Jude’s rep confirming the happy news: 'I can confirm the arrival of Jude Law and Catherine Harding’s daughter. Both are delighted and continue to ask that their privacy and that of their child be respected.'

The 23-year-old singer – who goes by the stage name of Cat Cavelli – dated the British actor last summer and the two announced that they were expecting their first child together in October last year.

Speaking at the time, a spokesperson for Law 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.’

Law already has three children Rafferty, Rudy and Iris, with his ex-wife Sadie Frost and also welcomed a daughter, Sophia, in 2008 with American model Samantha Burke.
