Mel Gibson and his longtime girlfriend, Rosalind Ross, have separated.
The Oscar winner, 69, and the screenwriter, 35, reportedly ended their relationship over one year ago, but they will continue to co-parent their young son, Lars, together.
“Although it’s sad to end this chapter in our lives, we are blessed with a beautiful son and will continue to be the best parents possible,” Gibson and Ross told People magazine in a joint statement.
The Independent has contacted Gibson’s representatives for comment.
The former couple first met in 2014 through mutual friends and began dating shortly after. In 2017, it was announced that Ross was pregnant.
In addition to Lars, Gibson has eight older children. He has one daughter, Hannah, 45, and six sons, Christian, 43, Edward, 43, William, 40, Louis, 37, Milo, 35, and Thomas, 26, with his ex-wife, Robyn Moore, plus 16-year-old daughter Lucia with his ex-girlfriend, songwriter and pianist Oksana Grigorieva.
