Sometimes life really does imitate art and Jude Law, star of the movie Alfie (carouser extraordinaire), is living proof of that. Law has just become a father for the fifth time and the baby mama, Catherine Harding, is just 23 years old.

Jude is somewhat longer in the tooth, coming in at 42, but what makes this all the more interesting is that Law’s oldest son Rafferty (one of his three kids with ex-wife Sadie Frost) is already 18, which is slightly less of an age-gap than perhaps ideal. This from the Daily Mail:

The 23-year-old is understood to have conceived the baby around last May/June, while spending six weeks with the star on location in the Czech Republic where he was thought to be filming Spy…

Although Jude and Cat have parted ways romantically, the Oscar nominee is committed to taking part in the child’s upbringing and is supporting Cat financially…

The actor also has a five-year-old daughter, Sophia, with American model Samantha Burke following a brief fling in 2008.

So what does this 23-year-old Catherine (who sings under the name Cat Cavelli) look like? You didn’t think she would be unattractive did you?

Here is Jude with his brood and ex-wife Sadie.

Congrats amigo, they say you’re only as old as the women you feel…
