Jude Law's ex Catherine Harding reveals if their daughter Ada, nine, will follow in her father's footsteps as she opens up about wedding plans with Arsenal star Jorginho

Jude Law’s ex Catherine Harding has revealed if their daughter Ada will follow in her famous father’s footsteps.

The singer, who is now engaged to Arsenal player Jorginho, had a brief fling with the English actor in 2014, but they went their separate ways before Ada was born the following year.

Three of the actor’s eldest children have already followed his footsteps into acting, but it seems one of his younger brood could also be set for stardom.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Catherine said: ‘She absolutely loves music and acting. 

‘She just actually had her first in-person audition, and she did super well. 

‘I’m really keen for her to stay in school because I think it’s important, but let’s see what the future holds.’

Catherine started dating Jorginho – whose full name is Jorge Luiz Frello Filho Cavaliere OMRI – back in 2020 after the footballer split from his ex-wife Natalia Leteri.

In 2023, the Arsenal footballer got down on one knee for the singer, surrounded by red roses and candles, while being serenaded by a violinist.

And as they prepare for their big day which is set to take place later this year, Catherine has opened up about her plans.

She said: ‘I think everything is almost ready now. 

‘It’s exciting, and I think we’re getting married at the same place in Lake Como as [co-star] Taylor Ward.’

Villa Balbiano wedding costs vary greatly but generally start at €61,000 (roughly £52k) for a 3-day minimum hire, including accommodation for 12 guests.

A one-day event, when available, can range from €30,000 (£25k) to €50,000 (£42k). Additional costs may include the glᴀsshouse, extra guests, and other services.

However, this should be a drop in the ocean to Catherine’s footballer fiancé who earns £110,000 per week playing for Arsenal – he previously played for Chelsea.

‘My engagement ring is too big, but I didn’t want to take it off,’ she joked before adding: ‘However, I’m finally having it resized in two weeks time.’

Jorginho – who has a son Jax with Catherine – also has children from a past relationship as he shares a son and a daughter with his ex-wife.

Catherine has previously spoken about the challenges of having a blended family, admitting it is difficult when different households have different rules for their children.

She said: ‘It is a challenge in many ways. If anyone says they’ve got the blended family thing down perfectly, they’re lying.

‘It’s a beautiful thing, but it’s challenging not just with schedules, but when I’ve got certain rules with my children, and then obviously their mother has certain rules with them, so sometimes when we all come together we have to be mindful of that.

‘It’s taken work for us to get to a really good place with it, but now we are, and it’s so natural.

‘From the moment the kids met, they were super, super close, so that’s always been amazing.

‘My step-daughter and my son are like twins. They look the same, they’re the same height. It’s really funny.’

‘It’s very busy, very chaotic, crazy, but it’s beautiful.

‘I’ve got three brothers and sisters, so I’m from quite a big family as well, especially with my cousins and extended family, so I’ve always really loved that.

‘Everyone always says, “Oh my God, your house is crazy, the energy is always so high,” and I really like that.’

Catherine was 23 when she dated Jude, then 41, who was filming on location in the Czech Republic as he grew close to the aspiring musician.

Jude is also a father to Rafferty, 28, Iris, 24, and Rudy, 22, from his marriage to actress Sadie Frost, who he met when the pair starred together in 1992 film Shopping.

The star, famed for his roles in Captain Marvel, The Holiday and Alfie, shares 15-year-old Sophia with model Samantha Burke.

He and his now wife Phillipa Coan also reportedly have two children – born in 2020 an 2023 – whose idenтιтies have not been made public.
