Mel Gibson Reportedly Splits From Russian Girlfriend

By Mike Hess Posted Apr 14th 2010 05:35PM

Mel Gibson and his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva have reportedly called it quits after a headline-heavy romance that began with Gibson's divorce and eventually led to the birth of a child together. A PEOPLE source claims the couple have parted ways after having "drifted apart."

According to a PEOPLE source, Mel and Oksana are "both working hard on their careers and trying to raise a sweet baby together. They're still friends and they'll both raise Lucia together."

UsMagazine confirms the split as well, adding that they two broke up "months ago" but remain "very friendly."

Gibson and Grigorieva made headlines across the world when their affair led Robyn Gibson -- Mel's wife of nearly 30 years and mother of seven of his children -- to file for divorce in April of 2009. Upon announcing the divorce, the couple released a statement saying: "Throughout our marriage and separation we have always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so."

Just a month after the divorce papers were filed, the new couple announced that they were expecting, and soon after revealed that they were engaged. A wedding date was never publicly announced.

Grigorieva has a son with former '007' star Timothy Dalton. She is a Russian model and musician who released an album in the summer of 2009. Gibson even directed a music video for her song 'Beautiful Heartbreak,' which you can watch below:

Gibson and Grigorieva then announced that they were expecting a child together, and in October the couple welcomed a daughter.

"It's not like I was planning to meet Mel specifically. Life happens. There was a working relationship for a long time. I thought he was happily married until I was reassured otherwise. And then it happened," Grigorieva said of their burgeoning relationship.

Agreed, Carolyn and I think we're going to be seeing more of this phenomenon of "celebrity" look alikes. Perhaps it's because of identical plastic surgery procedures? (Lip implants, etc.)

Well whose surprised by this one? She got what she wanted, multi-millions after pumping out a billionaires kid. She wasn't interested in this old man, just his money and fame and what she could get out of it. Smart girl! She's set for life.

By great granny

in a perfect world mel would still be with robin. thats where he should have kept his intentions. in the words of my oldest granddaughter, "what a horndog". be happy if you can.

By Jennifer

Oh yes, please throw out all of Christianity because one man failed to live up to his vows.

By Susan

Geez, she should run from HIM. Man, he's a filthy, drunken, bigoted, religious-freak has-been. Sad. I loved him 25 yrs ago!!!! What a waste.

Good for Mel.. he finally sees the light. Hopefully he didn't marry her.

But I do agree! She looks like Octomoms twin. and he did joke he was OctoMel!

By STAR

Apparently no one stays together anymore.
Are they all suffering from the Peter Pan Syndrome???
Don't grow up,just grow old......alone.
EGOTISTICAL MORONS. They all deserve to be miserable.

Whew, thank you Mel for not marrying that russkitrash!

By Cutie

she's had two children without a husband, I feel sorry for the kids.

By jmslotnick

Who cares? This man has lost all respect from me and many others with his ridiculous life style. Time for him to get a vasectomy and stop impregnating women. His children must be very proud (joke) of their good catholic father. His movie career is all but over thanks to his behavior.

By ZarathustraMike

Here's another example of a 'Good' Catholic..... Maybe he can go work for the Pope now defending Pedophile Priests????????

By the one

This is why rabbi's can get married, so they can practice incest at home and keep it quiet,you moron.

By Len

He's a Catholic. They don't believe in divorce, and once divorced, cannot marry in the Church. He couldn't marry the mother of this child. He should have done what Ted Kennedy did, and tried to get his first marriage annuled. That's what a good Catholic would do.

By Delaney

Gibsons a disgusting repulsive pig. Such a good Catholic isnt he? Cheats on his wife w/ a teenager, knocks her up then they break up. He's such a good Catholic I'm sure he'll start molesting little boys next! It's what those good Catholics do. You're a joke Mel. Old dude pathetic end of career. No one cares Mel. You're pathetic old man.

By Dbakermoe

Now the stupid s-hit wants his family back he is a egotisical middle aged JERK learn from Larry King

By nytflash

Wow--good thing she's pretty smart because she won't earn much on her music. Get knocked by one actor-Dalton (and collect child support. Must have been a need for more money so let's have another child-Gibson (and collect some more child support) Pretty smart but absolutely not pretty.

By Sue

ha ha ha ha ha ha. No fool like an old fool is right.

By Mark

She is octo-mom. ugly

By Gail E. Cooper

Good for Mel Gibson! He looked much better when he was with his wife. Now, maybe he actually appreciates her. Perhaps a "reconciliation" may be on the horizon. Hopefully he's learned his lesson.
