Mel Gibson Confirms Birth of Eighth Child
Posted by Adam
MEL Gibson has confirmed reports his Russian girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva has given birth to his eighth child.
“This will confirm that Oksana Grigorieva and Mel Gibson welcomed the arrival of a baby girl named Lucia on Friday, Oct. 30, 2009, at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles,” says Gibson’s rep, Alan Nierob.
No further details were available.
“Everything is great! They couldn’t be happier,” a source added. “Everyone’s healthy and thrilled. He loooves it!”
Gibson, 53, was at Grigorieva’s side in Los Angeles until she and the baby went home from the hospital, then he flew to New York Sunday to resume shooting The Beaver, costarring Jodie Foster.
Gibson, 53, has seven children (six sons and a daughter) with his estranged wife Robyn, while Oksana has a son, Alexander, with her former boyfriend, actor Timothy Dalton.
Grigorieva, 39, recently told British talk show GMTV that she and Gibson have no intention of walking down the aisle.
“Actually we have no plans to marry whatsoever,” she said. “I haven’t thought about it — we haven’t spoken about it.”
She also said she was much calmer about her pregnancy this time around.
“I have a 12 year old, so I’ve been a mother for 12 years — and of course, there is no first time mother’s trepidation as such,” Grigorieva said. “So naturally it’s more relaxed, and I’m very dynamic so the pregnancy falls into my work schedule.”
