LONDON (AP) _ Jude Law publicly apologized to his actress-fiancee, Sienna Miller, expressing his ``sincere regret'' over an affair with one of his children's nanny.

``Following the reports in today's papers, I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I've hurt Sienna and the people most close to us,'' the 32-year-old actor said in a statement Monday to the British Press Association.

``I want to publicly apologize to Sienna and our respective families for the pain that I have caused,'' said Law, star of ``Alfie'' and ``The Talented Mr. Ripley'' films.

The nanny was identified in the newspaper reports as Daisy Wright, 26.

Law, who divorced fashion designer-actress Sadie Frost in October 2003 after a six-year marriage and three children, had no further comment.

The publicity firm that represents Miller told The Associated Press the 23-year-old actress had no comment on Law's statement.

When Miller arrived at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End on Monday, where she is performing in ``As You Like It,'' it appeared she wasn't wearing her engagement ring, the Press Association reported.

Miller was Law's co-star in the remake of ``Alfie.'' The couple became engaged on Christmas Day 2004.

Earlier this year, Miller said she and Law were in no hurry to tie the knot. ``I'm not going to get married this year,'' she was quoted as telling reporters in February. ``There's no rush, we're just happy to be engaged.''

Law earned Oscar nominations for his roles in ``The Talented Mr. Ripley'' and ``Cold Mountain.'' His screen credits also include ``Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow,'' ``Closer'' and ``The Aviator,'' all released in 2004.
