Jude Law has a large and diverse family. The star of Fantastic Beasts is a father to seven children with four different women. He shares Rafferty, 27, Iris, 23, and Rudy, 22, with his former spouse Sadie Frost; Sophia, 15, with ex-partner Samantha Burke; Ada, 9, with Catherine Harding; and reportedly has two younger children with his current wife, Phillipa Coan, though their names remain private.
Although Law has enjoyed a highly successful career in Hollywood, he has often stated that his primary role is being a father. In a 2009 interview with Parade, he emphasized the importance of fatherhood, noting how much it had changed his life.

“Being a dad is what matters,” he said. “I used to sleep until noon, but now waking up at 7 to give them breakfast doesn’t feel bad at all. My daughter made me realize that fatherhood can humble you.”
While Law maintains a low profile regarding his younger children, his adult children from his relationship with Frost are following in their parents’ footsteps, especially in the field of acting.
Rafferty Law, his eldest son, revealed to GQ Hype in 2021 that both of his parents were supportive of his decision to pursue an entertainment career. He shared how they always watched his school plays and were encouraging of him and his siblings following their passions.
Law’s children have grown up in an environment where hard work and pursuing one’s dreams are encouraged. In a 2016 interview with Observer, Law reflected on his evolving perspective on parenting, calling it a “two-way relationship.” He explained that while his role is to offer guidance, it’s important that his children also learn to pass through life on their own.
Here’s a closer look at each of Jude Law’s children and their individual pursuits.
Rafferty “Raff” Jellicoe Frost Law, 27
Rafferty was born on October 6, 1996, in London, and is the oldest of Law and Frost’s children. After attending the prestigious Bedales School, Rafferty began a career in both modeling and acting. He made his film debut in Twist (2021) and is set to appear in the Apple TV+ series Masters of the Air.
Alongside his acting career, Rafferty is also a successful model, having walked for major designers such as Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino. Music is another of his passions—he’s been a member of the band Outer Stella Overdrive since 2018. Law expressed pride in his son’s dedication to music, sharing with PEOPLE in 2015 that he’s thrilled by Rafferty’s drive and hard work.
Despite the frequent comparisons to his famous father, Rafferty finds it amusing and embraces the bond they share. In a Wonderland cover story during the pandemic, Rafferty acknowledged both the perks and challenges of coming from a well-known family but remains focused on proving his own worth through dedication to his craft. He hopes to work with his father on a project someday and draws inspiration from his father’s career.
Iris Tallulah Elizabeth Law, 23
Born on October 25, 2000, Iris is Law and Frost’s only daughter. Iris is making a name for herself in both the fashion and entertainment worlds. She’s represented by IMG Models and has walked for top brands like Versace and Missoni.
Fashion runs in the family—her godmother is Kate Moss—and Iris studied textile design at Central Saint Martins. In addition to her modeling career, she made her acting debut in the Hulu series Pistol. Law has provided acting advice to Iris, and she often collaborates with him when auditioning.

He is represented by Tess Management and keeps a relatively low profile, preferring to focus on family and travel.
Sophia Law, 15
Sophia, Law’s fourth child, was born in 2009. Her mother, model Samantha Burke, welcomed Sophia in Florida. Though Sophia’s life has remained largely private, Law has committed to being an active part of her life, despite not being in a relationship with Burke at the time of her birth.
Ada Law, 9
Law’s fifth child, Ada, was born in 2015, after Law and singer Catherine Harding had separated. Harding often shares photos of Ada on social media, where Ada displays her budding musical talents.
