Jude Law has confirmed he is set to become a dad for the fifth time.
The British actor, 41, is having a baby with his ex-girlfriend Catherine Harding.
His representative said in a statement: "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. I ask that you respect the privacy of all parties involved and their families."
Grand Budapest Hotel star Jude already has three children from his previous marriage to Sadie Frost - sons Rafferty, 18, and Rudy, 12, and 13-year-old daughter Iris.
And he is also dad to five-year-old daughter Sophia from his relationship with Samantha Burke.
Jude and up-and-coming singer Catherine - who is also known as Cat Cavelli - apparently had a short romance earlier this year after meeting while the actor was filming in the Czech Republic.
The Daily Mirror reported that friends said Catherine, 23, is "delighted" to be expecting.
