Mel Gibson’s rep has confirmed that he and girlfriend Rosalind Ross are confirming what is set to be his ninth child.
Mel, 60, has been dating the 26-year-old former champion equestrian vaulter for two years. She is ten years younger than his eldest child, Robyn.
“Mel and Rose are so excited about the baby,” a close friend reportedly revealed to People.
“Mel loves being a dad and he and Rose can’t wait to be parents together. The last two years have been some of his happiest years he’s ever had.”
Mel already has eight children, seven of which were with his ex-wife, Robyn Moore, plus six-year-old daughter with Russian Pianist Oksana Grigorieva. He also has three grandchildren.
“She is great for him,” another source added about current girlfriend Rosalind.
“She has her own life, but also seems to enjoy Mel’s … They are very much on the same page.”
This will be her first child.
