His first high profile romance came when he was just 19, meeting and instantly falling for Sadie Frost after playing love interests in 1994 crime film, Shopping.
The couple were seen as love's young dream, with Sadie - who is five years Jude's senior - by his side as he rose through the ranks of fame.
By the time Jude had gained international recognition in 1999's The Talented Mr. Ripley, he and Sadie had been married for two years and were parents to son Rafferty.
The following year they welcomed daughter Iris and 2002 saw the birth of their son Rudy.
However, as Jude's star power continued to rise and Sadie was gripped by post-natal depression, the pair began to grow distant.
'Jude was away a lot, while I was sitting on the sofa, getting fatter and gripped by a nagging sense that I was jeopardising my love', Sadie penned in her 2010 autobiography, Crazy Days, admitting that she 'pressed the self-destruct button.'
Sadie penned: 'The more in demand Jude was professionally, the more of a drama queen I became. As he matured into a man, I started to act more like a child. We were living on a knife edge, but we made it work because of Rafferty.'
She admitted that she struggled with the comparison of their careers, writing: 'The more I worried about my condition, the more self-obsessed I became and the less attention I gave to Jude.
'Jude was up for lots more roles and I was still feeling low, struggling to hold the relationship together, feeling threatened.'
Things came to a head when they flew to Los Angeles to attend the Golden Globes, with Sadie revealing she turned to Jude and asked simply 'do you love me?'
She recalled: 'He didn't need to reply - I knew the answer. The moment had arrived and I knew the relationship with the man I loved was over.'
The couple, who were well known for being part of the Primrose Hill Set, split in October 2003.
Yet while the trappings of fame played a part in their six-year marriage coming to an end, that hasn't stopped their children from following in their footsteps.
Rafferty, 29, first made a name for himself as a model, walking for DKNY as a teenager and working with the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino and Mulberry.
Later Rafferty - who is the godson of Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw - pivoted to acting.
He first appeared in The Hat alongside his dad Jude - a short film that was shot on an iPhone during the Covid lockdowns.
Rafferty then landed the lead role of Oliver Twist in 2021's Twist, a modern re-telling of the Dickens tale that also starred Michael Caine and Rita Ora.
That same year he appeared in the Apple TV+ series Masters of the Air.
His younger sister Iris, 25, has also made a name for herself in the acting and modelling worlds.
Iris also has a connection to the football world, having dated Trent John Alexander-Arnold for five moths in 2024.

In another link between the showbiz and football worlds, a fact about Trent went viral this week - after fans discovered an old quote in former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson's autobiography.
In the tome, Sir Alex revealed that he dated Trent's maternal grandmother in the Fifties.

As for Iris, she is best known for her work on the catwalk, having learnt from her godmother Kate Moss, starring in campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney and Versace.
Her acting debut came in 2022 when she was cast as Soo Catwoman in the miniseries Pistol.

Jude has a strong bond with his eldest children, with the esteemed actor giving them tips on how to succeed in the industry.
After his divorce was Sadie was finalised, Jude entered into a relationship with Sienna Miller - who he met on the set of Alfie - a remake of the 1996 Michael Caine film about a playboy who ends up regretting his decision to burn through women.
Following a whirlwind romance, the couple got engaged on Christmas Day in 2004 after nearly a year of dating.
Yet the relationship came crashing down in 2006 after his affair with his children's nanny Daisy Wright came to public knowledge the year prior.

'I want to publicly apologise to Sienna and our respective families for the pain that I have caused. There is no defence for my actions which I sincerely regret and I ask that you respect our privacy at this very difficult time.'
Sienna later said the scandal was 'really hard', and admitted: 'There’s a whole six weeks of that experience that I don’t remember. I have no recollection of it.
Reflecting on starring in As You Like It at the time, she continued: 'That was one of the most challenging moments I hope I'll ever have to experience.
'Because with that level of public heartbreak, to have to get out of a bed let alone stand in front of 800 people every night, it's just the last thing you want to do. I was in so much shock over it all.'
However, the pair reconnected in late 2009 when they both starred on Broadway, with Sienna even spending Christmas with Jude and three of his children in Barbados.
Yet the romance wasn't meant to be and they broke up once again in February 2011.
In 2024, Jude briefly reflected on their engagement, stating: 'That time is over, and I've moved on from it. And so has, fortunately, the attention of the photographers and the prying eyes on me.'
