Who is Jude Law's psychologist wife Phillipa Coan? The London-based behaviour change expert runs her own company, and was introduced to The Order actor by mutual friends at a literary festival
Back in the early 2000s, Jude Law was at the height of his fame. The Talented Mr Ripley was a hit, as was Steven Spielberg's A.I. – and the English actor was regularly topping Sexiest Man Alive lists However, the 52-year-old recently revealed on The Playlist's Discourse podcast that he had been offered a part at the time that even he felt he wasn't right for: Superman. 'There was a process of flirtation going on,' he explained. 'And I always resisted because it just felt like [off].' He added that the producers even sent him the suit in hopes it would change his mind. 'I tried it on and I looked in the mirror and part of me initially was like, 'Wow, this would be a [good thing],' and then I just thought, 'No, you can't, you can't do this. You can't.'' Advertisement Reluctant to go down the big budget superhero route, Law found his way to other, more low-key projects instead – and to a more low-key existence altogether after marrying his current wife Phillipa Coan. The couple were first spotted together in public in 2015 at the UK's Hay Festival, according to People magazine, but have largely remained out of the limelight since then. So what else do we know about the actor's wife of six years? What does Phillipa Coan do? Play Coan is a London-based behavioural psychologist and business coach. She founded her own company, Stride, which she describes as 'a company dedicated to putting people at the heart of an organisation's environmental strategy'. According to her company's website, she has a PhD in environmental behaviour change and is a visiting research fellow at Leeds University Business School. When did they get married? Coan was first linked to Law in 2015 after being introduced by mutual friends. They got married in 2019 at the Old Marylebone Town Hall in London. Coan is the Sherlock Holmes star's second wife. He was previously married to actress and producer Sadie Frost, but divorced in 2003. Do they have kids?

Jim Cramer Says Stride, Inc. (LRN) Stock's Valuation Has 'Gotten Harder to Justify'
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Stride, Inc. (NYSE:LRN) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. Whilst Cramer acknowledged that Stride, Inc. (NYSE:LRN) has performed well, he highlighted that the stock's high valuation has gotten 'harder to justify.' 'Lately, we've been hearing [that]… skilled trades will be growing a lot versus jobs that require a standard college education. Stride is like an arms dealer for the people who want those positions. I love that business right now… The bull case for this one, simple. Public school satisfaction has been dwindling for years, and parents are increasingly willing to enroll their kids in entirely online schools if it means they can get a decent education… It's hard to deny the momentum that Stride's seeing in their business. Now, after opening up shop 25 years ago, the company has since expanded their schools and service offerings to 91 schools in 31 states in their general education market and 56 schools or programs in 27 states in their career learning market. Not bad… A teacher giving a lecture in a classroom illuminated by a bright light of knowledge. Stride (NYSE:LRN) provides online education tools, courses, and services that support personalized learning from kindergarten through high school. The company also offers career-focused programs and operates private schools. Overall, LRN ranks 11th on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. While we acknowledge the potential of LRN as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
