Biography
Early life
Law was born in Lewisham, South London, England to two teachers, Peter and Maggie Law. His sister Natasha Law is a well regarded illustrator and artist. He was educated at John Ball Primary School in Blackheath and Alleyn's School in Dulwich. He started acting with the National Youth Music Theatre at the age of 12 and, at 17, he dropped out of school completely. He trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Personal life
Law married Sadie Frost on September 3, 1998. They have three children together: son Rafferty (born October 6, 1996), daughter Iris (born October 25, 2000) and son Rudy (born September 10, 2002). For a time Frost and Law were central to the so called 'Primrose Hill set' of young British actors.
They finalized their divorce on October 29, 2003. Frost cited Law's "unreasonable behaviour" which, she claimed, had worsened her post-natal depression to the extent that she'd had to seek medical aid. Matters had not been helped when, at a kids' party at London's Soho House private member's club on October 5, 2002, daughter Iris had swallowed an ecstasy tablet she'd apparently found on the floor, and was rushed to hospital.
In 2005, Frost and Law reached a divorce settlement after nearly two years of negotiations. Frost kept the couple's $4 million London house in Primrose Hill, and received payments from Law totalling $2 million.
Subsequent to Law and Frost's divorce, UK newspapers reported of alleged 'sex swap' parties and holidays that had taken place during the couple's marriage with Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey and his wife, Pearl Lowe.
Law became engaged to Sienna Miller, his co-star in Alfie. On July 18, 2005, he issued a public apology to his fiance for having an affair with his children's nanny, Daisy Wright, in New Orleans Law and Miller reconciled after that, but in October 2005, Law learned that Miller was conducting a relationship with Daniel Craig, while expressing feelings of betrayal and upset at Law's affair. He reportedly threw her out of their North London home at the news and ended their engagement. The latest reports from May 29, 2006 state that Miller and Law are "working things out" Currently, however, it is rumored that Law is dating Liza Rtishchev, who served as one of his assistant managers On November 12, 2006 Sienna Miller and Jude Law made public their relationship is over.
