Search His new movie — a $150 million version of Anna Karenina, co-starring Keira Knightley — is expected to be the box-office hit of the year. He has a Sherlock Holmes sequel in production and three more films next year. But what has put 39-year-old Jude Law back in the headlines is the story that won’t go away: is he back with Sienna Miller again, despite their reported break-up — for the second time — last February? The $8 million London house the couple bought together in autumn 2010 is not currently for sale although neither Jude nor Sienna is living in it. And insiders are convinced that the on-off romance is on once again. A friend of Jude’s told us: “They are still in contact but are keeping a very low profile. “No one thinks this is the end of the story. They phone and text and we are certain there have been a few discreet meetings. “When the dust has settled there could be the chance of a proper reconciliation. I certainly wouldn’t rule it out.” Engaged on Christmas Day 2004 after Jude’s marriage to Sadie Frost ended in divorce, the couple split in November 2006 after Jude confessed to having an affair with his children’s nanny. A close friend of Sienna’s said: “She was absolutely shattered that Jude cheated on her and said she never wanted to speak to him or see him again. Then she changed her mind...” Last year Jude and Sienna found themselves starring in adjoining Broadway theatres — Sienna in After Miss Julie and Jude in Hamlet — and began to see each other after the shows, first with friends and then just as a cosy twosome. We were told: “Both have had several partners since the break-up but all the relationships have ended in disaster. Everyone knows that it was inevitable that they would one day try to get it together again.” There was a tricky patch when Jude admitted being the father of a baby born to US model Samantha Burke after a brief affair. “Sienna didn’t like it but she tried to understand,” says a friend. The nearest Jude has come to commenting on what’s going on in his life was to say recently: “Next year “I want to settle in one place for a while and get my private life sorted”. Insiders believe that the February break-up was largely due to Jude’s reluctance to fix a date for their marriage which Sienna interpreted as a lack of commitment. We were told: “Another problem was that Jude has always put his career before everything else — and Sienna didn’t like that.” Jude’s certainly come a long way as an actor since he was a teenage tearaway in the TV soap, Families. “A lot of people think I have made some strange career choices, making films like Final Cut and eXinstenZ, which no one liked, but they interested me so that was why I made them,” Jude says. Another film he’s mighty glad he made was the low-budget remake of Alfie. It was there that he met Sienna in 2003... and the media have made him a number one target ever since. Now he says: “Just how many pictures do the paparazzi need to take of you walking the children to school or getting out of a car? It’s very weird. One shot is never enough. They want to stick with you all day.” And while his private life is back in the news, it also seems to have revitalised his film career as well. And while he admits to looking for a new home he says it doesn’t necessarily have to be in London. “When we were making the new Sherlock Holmes movie we filmed in all sorts of places which amazed me — wonderful parts of Britain I didn’t know existed.” Jude is once again playing Dr Watson to Robert Downie’s Holmes, in the movie directed by Madonna’s ex, Guy Richie It’s he third time Jude has been in a Sherlock Holmes movie — his second professional acting role was a bit part in a TV version of the detective saga. “Guy Richie’s version of Holmes and Watson was much more like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid than the usual Laurel and Hardy,” Jude says with a grin. “I was just as scared of playing Dr Watson as I was of doing Hamlet — and that’s as it should be!” Jude says. But he’s also reconciled to the fact that whatever he does on screen, it’s the long-running saga of Law and Miller which will keep fans on the edge of their seats...
