When Samantha Burke went to tell Jude Law she was carrying his baby, she dialed the cell phone number he gave her and it was disconnected, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
With no other way to reach him, she had to contact Jude through his publicity office to break the news.
And one source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com that Law was disbelieving at first, but a DNA test erased all doubt.
RadarOnline.com has obtained new details of the relationship between Law and Burke, who is from Pensacola, Florida.
Burke was modeling in New York when she met the actor.
"Samantha was telling pals in Florida back in the beginning of the year that she and Jude were hooking up," a source told RadarOnline.com. "He insisted on not wearing any protection and soon she became pregnant.
"At first, we didn't believe her."
It became obvious though as Samantha started showing, and the source says she started posting pregnant pictures on her Facebook page.
"Samantha was trying to reach Jude to tell him she was having his child but she couldn't get a hold of him," said the source.
"He had given her a cell phone number but it was no longer working and Jude was working on a film.
"Finally, Samantha contacted Jude-through his publicist!
"She had to go through his PR person to inform him she was pregnant with his child, a baby girl she's already named Sophia!
"I don't think he believed her, at first.
"But she passed a DNA test so he had no choice but to recognize the fact that he was the dad."
Law has three children with former wife Sadie Frost.
