Aussie star Mel has lost his wife of almost 30 years — and is about to lose half of his fortune.
Mel Gibson looks set to be the loser in what is being billed as Hollywood’s most expensive divorce, with the Aussie star’s long-suffering wife Robyn set to receive a massive $600million payout after finally pulling the plug on their troubled marriage.
Ironically — given that Mel is a devout Catholic who always claimed that divorce was not an option — it was Good Friday when Robyn filed divorce papers citing “irreconcilable differences”.
The divorce will bring to an end the couple’s almost 30-year marriage, although fans were shocked when Mel countered with legal documents alleging they’ve been secretly separated since August 26, 2006.
Insiders say that Robyn — who had allegedly agreed to live a charade for the past two-and-a-half years to protect Mel’s reputation — could no longer take being humiliated by her husband’s reported womanising and heavy drinking. She was said to be devastated after he was photographed kissing a mystery woman — believed to be a Russian beauty named Oksana — on a Costa Rican beach last month.
“They had an unwritten arrangement that he would never allow himself to be publicly caught with other women, or photographed with them,” a well-placed source exclusively tells Woman’s Day.
