Jude Law Demanding DNA Test

Rumor has it that Jude Law is demanding a DNA test to prove he's the father of Samantha Burke's newborn daughter, Sophia.  

After a brief romance with Law earlier this year, Burke gave birth to the little girl last Tuesday. 

While Burke was pregnant, Law had vowed to support her and help raise the baby, but Britain's News of the World claims that the actor may be having second thoughts and that perhaps he isn't so keen on seeing the baby until he can prove he's Sophia's real daddy.  

A source reportedly told the publication:

"Jude is still very cautious about Sam and Sophia. Until he is 100 per cent certain she is his daughter he is only communicating through lawyers. If he is the father he will meet his obligations to the child. He's hoping for an early chance to establish that he is genuinely her dad."
