Mel Gibson & Rosalind Ross Announce Split After 9 Years Together

After nearly a decade together, American-born Australian actor Mel Gibson and screenwriter Rosalind Ross have separated.

In a joint statement to People, the couple wrote, “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.”

While Gibson, 69, and Ross, 35, quietly split about a year ago, the exes have continued to coparent their son, Lars. While Lars is Gibson’s youngest, he has nine children whose ages range from 45 to 8. As of writing, Gibson and Ross have not confirmed the reason behind their split.
