Jude Law and Wife Phillipa Coan Share Sweet PDA as They Step Out for Rare Date Night at the Venice Film Festival

Jude Law had a special supporter by his side at the Venice International Film Festival.

As his new movie The Wizard of the Kremlin had its world premiere on Sunday, Aug. 31, the 52-year-old actor brought along wife Phillipa Coan for a rare public date night.

The pair walked the red carpet separately, with Law in a tuxedo with a crisp white shirt and blazer. Business psychologist Coan opted for a long-sleeved silver column gown with a keyhole cutout, plus black stilettos and a coordinating clutch.

While the couple didn’t pose together, they were seen chatting ahead of their respective red-carpet appearances and also showed some PDA inside the amfAR benefit gala, which saw Law presenting Julian Schnabel with amfAR’s Award of Inspiration. Hosted by Colman Domingo, the 2025 event raised over $3.4 million for HIV/AIDS research and awareness.

Law and Coan were captured sitting at a table together inside the gala, with the actor leaning over at one point with a smile to tell his wife something and sweetly caressing her back.

Law and Coan reportedly met through mutual friends and were first linked in 2015. They tied the knot in London in 2019, before welcoming their first child in 2020 and their second in 2023.

The Closer actor prefers to keep his relationship with his wife private and rarely shares details about their life together, but told GQ in November 2024 that they “enjoy a very healthy relationship where we talk a lot about how we feel, our relationships with friends, relationships with our families, and she has a wonderful perspective on all of that.”

“I think one should, in middle age, start to reflect,” he added. “What are the patterns I’ve created? What are the relationships I have? Why do I have them like that? How do I feel about them?” 

Aside from his two children with Coan, Law is also dad to son Rafferty, 28, daughter Iris, 24, and son Rudy, 22, with ex-wife Sadie Frost; daughter Sophia, 15, with ex Samantha Burke and daughter Ada, 10, with ex Catherine Harding.

Law plays controversial Russian President Vladimir Putin in the upcoming political thriller The Wizard of the Kremlin, from director Olivier Assayas. Law and Assayas, 70, appeared at a press conference for the film on Sunday, alongside the actor’s costars Paul Dano, Alicia Vikander, Tom Sturridge and Jeffrey Wright.

The film is based on Giuliano da Empoli’s 2023 book of the same name and is led by Dano, 41, as Vadim Baranov, an artist-turned-TV-producer who “blurs truth with lies, the news with propaganda, directing the entire society like one great reality show,” while “working at the heart of Russian power,” per a synopsis from Variety.

“Only his love for the magnetic, free-minded Ksenia can turn him away from this dangerous game,” the outlet added.

During the Venice press conference, Law said that playing Putin didn’t scare him, explaining, “I hope not naively, but I didn’t fear repercussions. I felt confident, in the hands of Olivier and the script, that this story was going to be told intelligently and with nuance and consideration.”

“We weren’t looking for controversy for controversy’s sake,” the actor added. “It’s a character in a broader story. We weren’t trying to define anything about anyone.”

The Venice International Film Festival runs through Saturday, Sept. 6. An official release date for The Wizard of the Kremlin has not yet been announced.
