Mel Gibson and Rosalind Ross are separating after nine years 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,” the former couple told People in a joint statement Tuesday.
Gibson, 69, and Ross, 35 — who quietly ended their relationship about a year ago — plan to co-parent their 8-year-old son, Lars.
Page Six has reached out to their reps but did not hear back at the time of publication.
The duo first met through mutual friends in 2014 and started dating shortly after. Two years later, reports surfaced that they were expecting a child together.
The pair welcomed their son in 2017, just days before Gibson was nominated for the best director Academy Award for his 2016 film, “Hacksaw Ridge.”
“What could be more exciting than listening to the nominations being announced while holding my newborn son,” Gibson said in a statement at the time.
Although the duo has kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight, Gibson and Ross did walk the red carpet together at the 2017 Oscars. They made their red carpet debut at the 69th Cannes Film Festival a year prior.
Gibson also walked the red carpet with their son at a screening of Gibson’s “Monster Summer” in 2024.
In January 2025, the family tragically lost their $14.5 million Malibu home in the LA wildfires.
“The good news is that those in my family and those I love are all well, and we’re all happy and healthy and out of harm’s way, that’s all I can care about, really,” Gibson said during a Jan. 9 appearance on News Nation.
He and Robyn Moore — who were married from 1980 to 2011 — share seven children: Hannah, 45, Christian, 43, Edward, 43, William, 40, Louis, 37, Milo, 35, and Thomas, 26.
The “Passion of the Christ” star also shares 16-year-old Lucia with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. He and the Russian musician dated for about three years until 2010.
