In several movies, he’s played the heartthrob, but some may say that Jude Law is more of
a heartbreaker.
The star is now happily married, co-parenting six kids with four women.
But before settling down, Law’s romantic entanglements made scandalous headlines practically
every night.
Before the divorce from his first wife, Sadie Frost, was finalized, he was allegedly dating
his Alfie co-star Sienna Miller.
They eventually got together, which led to one of the more infamous cheating scandals
in Hollywood history.
Buckle up as we delve into the details of the couple’s relationship and the womanizing
life of the handsome Brit, including wife-swapping and a time he seduced a woman on a school
car park.
In the 2004 Alfie remake, Sienna Miller plays the chic, spirited Nikki, who gets her heartbroken
by Jude Law’s womanizing Alfie.
After the actors met on the film set and got swept up in a whirlwind of seemingly blissful
real-life romance, however, it became clear that Miller’s and Law’s lives were imitating
their art.
The same year, Law had undergone an abrupt and messy divorce from his first wife, Sadie
Frost.
For a time, Sienna and Jude were London’s golden couple, and things were smooth sailing.
They were happy to show off just how in love they were in public, and within months the
pair were engaged.
Law, then 31, proposed to Miller, then 22, with a “big cluster diamond ring” on Christmas
Day, and their romantic relationship simply dominated the pop culture conversation.
But the romance came crashing down when Sienna (and the rest of the world) discovered that
Jude was sleeping with his children’s nanny behind her back.
As a result, the engagement screeched to a halt, completely altering the course of their
relationship.
More than fifteen years later, Miller still can’t shake the dark feelings from that
period of her life — the scandal changed her forever.
As if the realization of her fiancé’s infidelity wasn’t bad enough, the news also broke right
as she was starring in a West End production of As You Like It in the role of Celia.
Her stage debut, a moment that should have been the most exciting time in her career,
was severely tainted by scandal.
Instead of focusing on her play entirely, the young actor had to face the paparazzi
day in and day out.
It was one of the most challenging moments in her life.
With that level of heartbreak, at such a young age, “to have to get out of a bed let alone
stand in front of 800 people every night, it’s just the last thing you want to do.”
There’s a whole SIX WEEKS of that experience that she doesn’t remember.
People came to see her, they had dinner, but Miller has no recollection of it.
“I was in so much shock over it all.
But if you get through that, you feel like you can get through anything.”
The nanny, Daisy Wright, sold her story to the Sunday Mirror, leaving pretty much nothing
to the imagination.
She did not hold back in that interview, sharing intimate details about how the two were “in
the bedroom, ripping off each other’s clothes” and “Jude was a masterful lover who made
my whole body tingle.”
One of the most EXCRUCIATING details was that one of the actor’s children had found the
pair in bed together.
Poor kid! Jude, who hates anything to do with the press,
was forced to come clean about the affair and released a humbling public apology to
Miller.
“Following the
reports in today’s papers, I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I’ve
hurt Sienna and the people most close to us,” he said.
The negative media attention combined with the emotional exhaustion of dealing with the
fallout of a public breakup was almost too much to bear.
It was also at the height of all the paparazzi madness in London, quote “where there was
an epidemic of bad behaviour, they knew where I would be every night.”
Beyond being betrayed by Law, Miller was hounded by people, who were obsessed with exploiting
her personal life and perpetuating a narrative of Sienna as a “party girl.”
There were moments where it came close to making her feel crazy, as it was incredibly
aggressive.
Miller chose to fight back against the endless barrage of paparazzi trailing her by filing
lawsuits, attempting to change British law.
The actor recorded them using a camera the size of a cigarette lighter.
She brought a privacy act to court, which ultimately led to enacting laws that protect
her privacy in the UK.
“It was a long battle, and I think I was really paranoid,” Miller said of the experience.
“There was so much noise that it was hard to think straight and focus on my work.
I look back on it and wonder how I did get through it — but I did.”
Not only did she get through it, but she has changed laws and thus protected others in
the process.
Ironically, she found solace in the arms of a married man.
After she and Law briefly reunited before splitting again in 2008, Miller started dating
actor Balthazar Getty , then married to fashion designer Rosetta Getty.
Although the affair was “humiliating” for Rosetta, the Gettys reconciled two years
later, with Balthazar saying, “I loved and missed my family too much not to make it work.”
He might’ve gone back together with his wife, but for Jude, that was the point of
no return.
He and Sienna briefly rekindled their romance not long after, and called it quits for good
in February 2011.
However, this was not the first or last time the actor’s messy and scandalous private
life made headlines and undermined his work.
When he should have been basking in the glory of the best actor Oscar nomination for his
role in the film Cold Mountain, something else stole the limelight.
His ugly breakup with wife Sadie (police were called on several occasions to calm down their
fights) and false allegations of an affair with co-star Nicole Kidman overpowered his
work immediately.
Not long after that, it was revealed that he and Sadie had engaged in wife-swapping
with their friends, musicians Pearl Lowe and Danny Goffey.
The first “swap” reportedly happened after Sadie performed a strip-tease and suggested
they exchange partners.
After spending the night together, Danny and Sadie and Jude and Pearl had more sessions,
but thought their swinging would end after the holiday.
However, the sessions reportedly re-started, renewing Jude's fascination with Pearl.
The woman claimed Law became obsessed with her.
Allegedly, that was the reason Jude and Sadie's marriage imploded.
Always regarded as a womanizer, Law usually detests being known as the pretty boy of cinema,
preferring to think of himself as a proper thespian.
He hates being seen as a celebrity and followed by photographers, and is upset that people
do not concentrate on his art.
Once, Jude attempted to present himself as the biggest celebrity do-gooder since Angelina
Jolie, promoting nothing less than world peace with the documentary he made with human rights’
advocate Jeremy Gilley.
He described how he was in tears after he met Afghan girls defying the odds by educating
themselves.
But despite his best efforts, scandal appears to have a way of pursuing him.
A day after Law talked seriously at the Cannes Film Festival about the film, it was revealed
he had enjoyed a steamy night with Rod Stewart’s daughter Kimberly.
The details were hectic.
After a pub dinner with Kimberly’s father Rod and his wife Penny Lancaster, the pair
went to a trendy Essex nightspot, Club 195.
Although the club’s bouncers tried to stop fans from taking photos of the enamoured couple,
the salty pics have emerged, showing Jude and Kimberly in a graphically passionate embrace.
Jude was said to be mortified about the way news of his latest romance has emerged.
“He is really upset and annoyed, particularly as all he wants to be doing now is promoting
his documentary,” said a source close to the actor.
He’s had his parents ringing up from their house in France wondering what is going on,
and his ex-wife Sadie was terrified that someone would show their children one of the pictures.
“When I saw him earlier this week, he seemed really angry, and the first thing he said
was: “Don’t even mention it to me.
I don’t want to discuss it.”
Jude said this embarrassment was as bad as when it was revealed he was cheating on Sienna
with the nanny.
And before he finally settled down with his now-wife Phillipa Coan and his sixth child,
Jude wooed a woman on a school run and then broke her heart, making headlines once again.
The British star swept Rachel Bourlier off her feet by stepping out in front of her car.
The actor waved Rachel down, chatted her up through the window, and asked the stunned
mum for her phone number in true Alfie style.
“It was crazy.
But I gave him my number, and he texted me seconds later saying, ‘This is my number,
Jude’.”
It was the beginning of a year-long romance — only to drive her to heartbreak.
Single mum Rachel said she fell deeply in love with him, and it was as though they were
in another world together.
Her son didn’t want anyone to know about them, for people at his school to say, “Your
mum is with Jude Law” because his reputation wasn’t great, to say the least.
Friends also warned her about the actor’s reputation, but the passion was so strong
that she was determined to give things a go.
During the relationship, the French TV presenter said she helped the notorious womanizer cope
with discovering that he had fathered yet another child with a young singer.
And he comforted her through the grief of losing a cousin in the Charlie Hebdo massacre
in Paris.
“I thought it was destiny.
He did too.
Because of how he got me through that time, I can never blame him.
We had a very big, deep connection and I thought at this age of our lives this was incredible.”
It was all over for Rachel and Jude when she read in the papers that he was seeing his
now-wife, Philipa.
Can you imagine how she must’ve felt at that moment?
In September 2020, Jude and Phillipa welcomed a baby, extending his family once again.
Law has three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost, a daughter with model Samantha Burke,
and another daughter with singer Catherine Harding.
Jude Law and Sienna Miller both have moved on since the cheating scandal.
And despite his messy trail of tabloid headlines, Law has continued to enjoy success in showbiz,
and all parties seem to have put the past behind them.
Looking back at that time in her life, Sienna Miller seems to regret only being known as
a tabloid fixture because of Jude Law’s affair instead of as an actor.
“I fell in love with someone very famous and that became the story.
I had an amazing time, but it would have been nice if that hadn’t happened before I was
known for something else.”
She is currently single and shares a daughter with an ex, actor Tom Sturridge.
