Cat Cavelli pregnant again, 5 years after birth of child with Jude Law left her career, confidence in shambles
'The Voice UK' star Cat Cavelli has finally revealed her baby bump after revealing back in March that she is expecting her second child. Cat—real name Catherine Hardin—shares her five-year-old daughter Ada with Hollywood actor Jude Law.
When she first shared news of her pregnancy on Instagram on Mother's Day last month, she did not mention who the father was. However, it has now been revealed that she has found love in Chelsea football player Jorginho. The Chelsea and Italy national team midfielder's last marriage recently broke down, and he and Cat are now five months pregnant, according to The Sun.
Jorginho was married to Natalia Leteri and the now-estranged couple shared two children: Vitor and Alicia. After eight years of being together, the couple had tied the knot in 2017, and are believed to have secretly separated last year.
"Cat fell hard for him (Jorginho) and has struggled to keep their romance a secret. It became known to her circle of friends, the music industry and—through her role on The Voice—backstage on TV. She told Jorginho she was pregnant just before her announcement. He was delighted and she's looking forward to becoming a mother for the second time," a source told The Sun.
At the time of her pregnancy reveal on Instagram, Cat had shared a sweet photo of daughter Ada holding her growing baby bump. "I am so grateful to be blessed with the most powerful gift of life," Cat wrote.
She also added a series of throwback photos of Ava as a newborn. One of the photos was that of Cat's mother holding the then newborn Ava, which the singer captioned: "Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mother's around the world giving unconditional love everyday even when they are tired... Stressed or dealing with whatever problems they may have in their lives but always make their children priority. You are amazing!! Five years ago on Mother's Day 2015 my beautiful daughter was born and now in a time of such sadness and pain in the world, when we realize how fragile life can be I am so grateful to be blessed with the most powerful gift of life. And can't forget my mummy who is always there for me no matter what you are an angel (even though you drive me mad) hahaha #happymothersday #grateful #blessed #secondpregnancy."
This new relationship has also inspired Cat to write new material, as she had shared in an interview with the Mail Online. "I definitely write a lot of love songs, especially last year. I find I go through phases when I have inspiration and other times not but last year I entered into a new relationship and that definitely gave me loads of creativity and inspiration. My songs are usually based on love – boring! It inspires me so much, there's no other feeling like it," she told the outlet.
Her previous pregnancy, however, wasn't as positive. She had to give up her dreams of becoming a singer when she got pregnant with Ada. This had a devastating impact on her confidence.
It was 'The Voice' and being under Olly Murs's flirtatious mentorship that put her at ease and helped her build back her self esteem.
"I feel like I've started afresh and I'm completely back to myself," she told the outlet, adding: "I moved to London when I was 18 to do music and I was writing a lot and performing in a band but then I stopped when I had my daughter. I wanted to take a backseat. There was some stuff that happened which really knocked my confidence. I wasn't in the best place so concentrated on being a mother and then I tried thinking, maybe I'll go back and do something else, study but that wasn't for me. So I started doing music again and I put together my own show. When The Voice came along I thought I'm just going to go for it. Why not? It's really putting yourself out there. I feel better than before. I feel less nervous and I'm just going for it whatever happens, which I didn't do when I was younger."
Happier in ways more than one now, Cat's new material comes five years after giving birth to Ada, who she shares with Law.
Cat was 23 when she dated Law, then 41.
As he was filming on location in the Czech Republic, he reportedly grew close to the then-aspiring musician. Law is also a father to Rafferty, 23, Iris, 19, and Rudy, 17, from his marriage to actress Sadie Frost, 54.
His other child is 10-year-old Sophia whom he shared with model Samantha Burke.
Ada is Law's youngest, and if her mother Cat is to be believed, she is already gearing up to participate in the kids' version of 'The Voice'.
"She's already said she wants to go on The Voice Kids. She's watched YouTube clips of the kids and asks if she's a better singer and I tell her she's amazing but say, 'She's probably had more practice than you, you really need to practice.' I don't want to be a pushy stage mum but she definitely veers very much towards acting and singing, that's for sure," she said.
Cat also gushed about how Ada has inherited her mother's husky voice that Murs was so drawn to during Cat's year in 'The Voice'.
"She's got a very husky voice and she can stay in tune and hit high notes, so you never know," Cat told the outlet. "She's actually got the lead part in her stagecoach, she's Jasmine in Aladdin. She got the solo! It's always amazing to see your child do something that they really love and see them sparkle. Obviously, because I sing it's sweet because she's like me, my little mini-me."
