Mel Gibson, 69, and Rosalind Ross, 35, have split after nine years together. People reported this, citing an exclusive statement from the couple.
“Although it is sad to close this chapter of our lives, we are blessed with a wonderful son and will continue to be the best parents we can be for him,” the statement said.
It is specified that the couple decided to end their relationship about a year ago and parted without any hard feelings toward each other.
Gibson and Ross met in 2014 through mutual friends. Despite the 34-year age difference (the screenwriter was only 23 at the time), the couple quickly fell in love, and in 2017, their son, Lars, was born. The boy is now eight years old.
In addition to Lars, Mel Gibson also has eight children from previous relationships: daughter Hannah, sons Edward, Christian, William, Louis, and Milo from his ex-wife Robin Moore, and daughter Lucia from his ex-girlfriend, Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva. It is worth noting that scandals and lengthy court proceedings accompanied the actor’s breakup with the latter.
