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.

I guess you can't build a happy life on someone elses heartbreak. The only winner here is Robin, who by now has hopefully recovered emotionally and can build her new life on the cash Mel brought in while they were married. Mel should take a breather from drinking and womanizing while he still has the chance to salvage his mental and physical health.

By bcarrknapp

She does look like octomom and she also looks like she could be his granddaughter. Why do men actually think that women this young think men his age are sexy. They don't! They think their wallets are sexy. Old men are FOOLISH!

Mmm mmmm mmmmmm. Mel, have you lost your mind? Send her my way!

By Yummy!

Now that Mel's single, can I have him? He's a hunk!

By Kaye

I'm sure she wouldn't want you snakes, unless you had tons of money. Just another money hungry gold digger. She got what she wanted...knocked up and will get a big chunk of change for the next 18 years. The story says they drifted apart....gee,ya think, with such a big age gap?

By BETH

Ha! I think she like Octomom!!

By patr728

Is it just me or does she resemble "Octomom"?......Something about her grossly enlarged lips. And, Mel looks like the old man he is in picture #1!

By no*fool*like*an*old*fool

It's what they both get & deserve...married is married until the ink is dry on the papers. They are both wh*res and *he* is a hypocrite. I hope Robin laughed all the way to the bank.......

Ummm....Incubator? Mobile Uterus? Money-hungry tramp? Pick one, they all fit. Guess she needed a new source of child support. Timothy Dalton must not be making much money these days.

There's no fool like an old fool. Now he's permanently bonded with her because of their child. She will go on to have another child by someone else rich and earn another fortune. To think he gave up his wife of 30 years for that trash. Can't say I blame Robin a bit. He's a mess!

By butchbuss00

SHE LOOKS LIKE HIS GRANDAUGHTER

By cruddycat

two more superficial people. Mel cheats with no talent girlfriend while still married to first wife, has a child, now after less than a year they are "bored" with each other. marriage is obviously not important to Mel or his floozy. what about all the children who are affected by their immature actions. Mel makes being a Christian so sordid. Mel, do you still believe in Hell?

By Carolyn Rosenberger

My first thought was, she does look like octomom. She really does.
