Jude Law meets his five-month-old daughter Sophia for the first time

Jude Law has finally met his five-month-old daughter Sophia for the first time, but did so with lawyers at his side.

The 37-year-old actor flew out to Florida, to face Sophia's mother, Samantha Burke, and make legal arrangements for his daughter's upbringing.

It is believed to be the first time that he met the baby. Burke fell pregnant following a brief fling with Law, after they met in December 2008.

A source revealed to The Sun: 'Jude was very on edge about the meeting. The pregnancy wasn't planned but he wants to do the right thing. It's not like he can hide - as soon as Sophia can use the internet she can find out who her dad is.'

An agreement is believed to have been settled, after the pair were spotted entering offices in Miami with respective legal teams.

Jude has three other children, from his marriage to Sadie Frost. He is currently dating ex Sienna Miller, after they rekindled their romance while both starring on Broadway together at Christmas.
