For Jude Law, parenthood is a numbers game. And, depending on who's judging, he appears to be winning. The actor welcomed his fifth child — his third daughter — with his third baby mama, 23-year-old ex-girlfriend Catherine Harding.

"I can confirm the arrival of Jude Law and Catherine Harding's daughter," Law's rep said in a statement. "Both are delighted and continue to ask that their privacy and that of their child be respected."

No doubt the 42-year-old is looking forward to watching this little lady grow up… and knock him down a few pegs. Referring to his eldest daughter Iris, now 14, he told Parade back in 2009, "My daughter made me realize that if there's anything that's going to make a man of you, it's having your will broken by a little girl."

The actor has Iris as well as sons Rafferty, 18, and Rudy, 12, with his ex-wife, Sadie Frost. His other daughter, Sophia, with model Samantha Burke, whom he dated briefly in 2008, is 5.

Law revealed he was becoming a father again back in October. "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," Law's rep said in a statement at the time. "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."

The star can next be seen in Paul Feig's comedy, Spy, with Melissa McCarthy. The film picked up rave reviews following its premiere at South by Southwest over the weekend.
