Mel Gibson’s mistress has come forward — and she’s a 28-year-old Russian pop singer.

Oksana Pochepa claims that she had a romantic relationship with the 53-year-old actor and has now fallen in love.

“This is serious and I hope that our union will be real and strong and long-lasting,” she told British tabloid The Sun.

Pochepa also confirmed that she is the mystery brunette photographed kissing Gibson on a Costa Rican beach in March.

And according to Us Weekly, Gibson met Oksana last August when she was hired to compose a song for the actor’s upcoming thriller Edge of Darkness.

“They would come out and attempt to walk around separately, but then at the end of the day, they both returned to the same hotel,”  a source said. “She was there on and off for a week, but it was clear she had no business there other than to be with Mel.”

Gibson announced last week that his wife of almost 28 years, Robyn, had filed for divorce. She’ll likely get 50% of  his $900 million fortune.
