Jude’s boy and a hot ticket to see dad’s ex bare all
JUDE Law is raising a most bohemian family.
This week, the Hollywood star’s 20-year-old son Rafferty went to the theatre to see Sienna Miller, 35, who was once due to become his stepmother, strip off on the West End stage in a racy production of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.
Part-time DJ Rafferty was accompanied by his mother, Sadie Frost, 52, who was married to Jude when the 44-year-old actor fell for Sienna on the set of the film Alfie, where he played an incorrigible womaniser.
‘It’s quite an achievement that they’ve all managed to remain on speaking terms, let alone friends,’ says one observer.
Jude and Sadie were key members of the Primrose Hill set of actors, models and musicians that became a by-word for Nineties hedonism with their drink and drugs parties, bed-hopping and alleged wife-swapping.
Rafferty was eight years old when Sienna broke off her engagement to Jude after he slept with the nanny, Daisy Wright, who was paid to care for Rafferty and his brother Rudy, now 14, sister Iris, 16, and their half-brother Finlay, 26.
Speaking of her relationship with the star of The Talented Mr Ripley, Sienna said last year: ‘We don’t see each other that much. I care about him enormously.’
The actress — who has a fiveyear-old daughter, Marlowe, by another former fiance, the actor Tom Sturridge — clearly also enjoys a warm relationship with Rafferty,
as they have been seen partying together in the past.
Wearing a £270 Zoe Jordan black fringed jumper with matching tassel trousers, white trainers and an oversized bag, Sienna left the theatre in a car with Sadie, who is now courting multi-millionaire businessman Darren Strowger, 51.
The apparent friendliness is all the more remarkable because fur has flown between the women in the past.
When Sienna had Iris’s hair chopped off in 2010, Sadie blasted her online. Iris’s long bob style had been replaced by a boyish elfin cut, prompting her mother to tell Sienna: ‘I think ya should get ya own child and then cut their hair!’
