While the world has already had their first look at Jude Law's new love child, the actor himself, it seems, just can't make up his mind what to do.

Originally, 36-year-old Jude has expressed no wish to see the baby, though he insisted he would be supporting little Sophia financially.

But, according to the Daily Mail, he's now having a change of heart. A family friend told the paper: "He felt it would be easiest to just pay Samantha and hope that she moved on and left him alone.

"But now he is feeling very torn. He is on the brink of going to see Sophia but first of all, he wants to make sure his older kids feel totally secure and to make them feel they are involved in what is one of the biggest decisions of his life."

Presumably he wasn't quite so indecisive when it came to the conception, but stil.

Jude recently flew his three children from his marriage to Sadie Frost to New York, where he is starring in Hamlet on Broadway, in a bid to reassure them that they are still the most important little people in his life.

And his folks, Maggie and Peter, came too and helped care for the kids.

The pal added: "Samantha wants him to be involved with their daughter's life and be an active father. And Jude's own parents want to know their new granddaughter.

"But he was in such a low mood that Maggie and Peter decided to go home and Jude was obliged to fly out Sadie's sister, Jade, to help out instead."

And things didn't get any better when ex-wife Sadie flew out for her daughter's ninth birthday.

The source said: "Jude told her she couldn't stay with him. He feels she is on his case about how he's split the family because of his ridiculous, irresponsible behaviour in getting Samantha pregnant. He suggested she stay in a hotel around the corner.

"In the end, she stayed just for the weekend and she and Jude had a massive bust-up."

Law's spokeswoman declined to comment on the whole sorry situation.
