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.

Oh don't wish that on poor Robyn, she deserves way more than he can ever do for her now. She needs to move on and not get back on that train wreck.

You are a bigot

By Carroll Gregory

I am a strange person. I view females as treasures, and to be treated as treasures. I think God knew exactly what he was doing when he created the female. I have never met a female who didn't have something to offer to a union. Where would we, the males, be, without them?

YOU ARE S00000 SWEET TO BAD MORE MEN ARE NOT LIKE YOU.

My Mel Gibson movies went in the trash when he spewed Anti-Semitic venom all over an officer of the law doing his job.
And I refuse to see his movies from that point forward.
Say, Oksana has a nifty little scam going there- have a baby by a man with a fortune, and you have a steady paycheck. Her first child is by Timothy Dalton.

MEL'S GIRLFRIEND AND THE OCTOMOM LOOK LIKE TWINS. ARE THEY RELATED?

By JB

Some people use Gibson's lifestyle and moral failings to denigrate Christianity, particularly Catholicism. Such broad generalizations are based in prejudice, bigotry, and ignorance. Of course, not all Catholics are hypocrits. Not all Catholics hold themselves up as a moral standard and use their religion to put others down. My mother was a devout Catholic, yet she never judged people, never held her beliefs as a gold standard over other people's beliefs. Mel Gibson, on the other hand, did all of that. He is anti-Semitic, anti-homosexual, anti-women (except when his libido needs to be satiated) in addition to having an inflated ego. The man is a pure hypocrit, however all Catholics should be judged by his actions.

Raise a "Sweet" baby. I suppose if it was normal it would be dumped on a plane to Russia one-way. People mag and rest of these silly gossip mags are laughable.

For all you religious zealots: In over 2,000 years of scientific inquiry and discovery, god has never been found - - - because - - - GOD DOES NOT EXIST !

men, women; use birth control!

Being a christain doesnt mean you are perfect or have no faults. Humans are weak. and older men are stupid over a young pretty face. lol
We are saved by the grace of God not our own doing.
BTW - if you are going to talk the talk, you should try to walk the walk.
