Jude Law and Phillipa Coan’s reason for keeping their relationship private, with rare public appearances

Jude has stated that his relationship with his second wife, Phillipa “thrives” because it is kept under wraps. In 2017, during an interview with Modern Luxury magazine, he called Phillipa “mine” and remarked that she was “no one else’s,” and thus, he is not obligated to share much about her with the world. The privacy factor of their bond is exactly why their bond remains intact and their marriage works so well, as per Jude. His exact words were:

“She’s mine and no one else’s…I’m very, very happy. Our relationship is a very private thing, and I think part of the fact it works so well is exactly because of that.”
