Samantha Burke and her daughter with Jude Law, Sophia, grace the cover of Hello! Magazine's latest issue, which reportedly pays her 300,000 U.S. dollars for the first pictures of the baby.

Samantha Burke has introduced her and Jude Law's baby, Sophia, by gracing the cover of London's Hello! Magazine for its November 2 edition that has been published on Monday, October 26. In the picture that debuted the little girl, the model was seen drawing her face close to her daughter's. However, the baby's father was not featured in the photo.

"I am very hopeful it will work out for Sophia's sake. He's a great father to his three kids. She's his daughter and I believe he'll come through," Samantha said on Jude in an interview with the magazine. "It would be great if we can have a friendship and remain cordial. Hopefully, he'll be a big part of her life and she'll be proud to have him as her father."

In related news, Samantha Burke has just admitted that she sold the first photos of Sophia, who was born on September 22. "I can confirm that after months of constant requests from the media, I decided to share pictures of myself and Sophia with Hello! Magazine," read the statement released by her spokesperson. "Both Sophia and I were compensated for the photographs, and will donate a portion of the compensation to the Ronald McDonald House to assist with the completion of their new facility in Pensacola, FL."

Samantha further explained, "The majority of the compensation, paid to Sophia, will be placed in trust for her secondary education and well-being. I'm thrilled with the pictures of Sophia and pleased to announce that she is healthy, happy and deeply loved." Another report mentioned that Hello! Magazine paid the model 300,000 U.S. dollars for the pictures.

While his baby has been introduced to the public, Jude Law has not visited his fourth child. He has already had three children, 13-year-old Rafferty, 9-year-old Iris, and 7-year-old Rudy, from ex-wife Sadie Frost.
