Inside Jude Law’s Complicated Love Life
The BAFTA-winning Jude Law was born and raised in London, but eventually made his way across the pond. From the beginning, the actor has been in pretty intense relationships. As most know, he’s also got a reputation for cheating, or dating multiple women at once. So, what’s the story with this dashing actor’s love life? Who has he been with, how many kids does he have, and who’s he with right now? Let’s find out by looking inside Jude Law’s complicated love life!
Jude and Sadie
Just look at that fresh face! Jude Law met English actress Sadie Frost way back in 1994. The pair were both working on a crime drama and fell for each other hard. Sadie remembers, “The force of the love I felt for Jude and his intense ambition made me feel out of control.”
The thing is, Sadie was already married. In the end, she left Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp for the younger Jude. At the time, he was just 19, and she 25.
Making it Official
Both Jude and Sadie were core members of The Primrose Set — a group of posh partiers in London. Other members included model Kate Moss, actress Patsy Kensit, designer Pearl Lowe, and actors Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, and Rhys Ifans.
The party-loving couple got married on a barge in London. Sadie didn’t wear any shoes or makeup and borrowed Kate Moss’s 21st birthday outfit, designed by John Galliano. This picture of the couple is from a movie premiere.
Sadie’s Health Issues
Several changes in her life caused serious health issues for Sadie Frost. To begin with, Jude’s career took off, and she found herself “low and lost.” In her memoir she remembers, “Jude was away a lot, while I was sitting on the sofa, getting fatter and gripped by a nagging sense that I was jeopardising my love.”
She also experienced post-natal depression after giving birth to the couple’s first son. This resulted in self-harm, leaving the new mum feeling “empty.”
Double the Trouble
Because of their partying ways, there have been plenty of wild rumors about Jude and Sadie’s relationship. After all, The Primrose Set were famous for their heavy partying and big nights out. One rumor that might hold some truth is that Jude and Sadie got close (ahem) to designer Pearl Lowe and Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey.
Apparently, Jude ended up falling for Pearl, which sent Sadie into a rage. While Jude denied this story, Sadie confirmed it, saying, “The story’s correct — even though I wish it wasn’t.”
