Mel Gibson confirms that girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva is pregnant

melheader
Mel Gibson’s rep has confirmed that his girlfriend, Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva, is pregnant. This comes after weeks of rumors, first reported by the National Enquirer, that Oksana is expecting. Mel’s rep says that the divorce filing had nothing to do with Oksana’s pregnancy and that Mel didn’t know at that time that Oksana was pregnant. She is in her second trimester and is due this fall:

Six weeks after his wife Robyn filed for divorce after 28 years of marriage, Mel Gibson has some news of his own: his Russian musician girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, 39, is pregnant, the actor’s rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.

“He couldn’t be happier,” says a Gibson friend. “He loves being a father.”

Grigorieva, who is signed to Gibson’s record label, Icon Records, is in her second trimester and due in the late fall.

For those eager to point to Grigorieva’s pregnancy as a catalyst for Gibson’s divorce, they’ll be wrong, says the close source: “This has nothing to do with the divorce. Mel didn’t even know Oksana was pregnant when they filed.

This will be Mel’s eighth child. He has seven children with his estranged wife of nearly 29 years, Robyn, but only one is a minor. His youngest child is Thomas, who is ten, and his second youngest, Milo, is already 20.

Last night Mel went on The Tonight Show to confirm the news and to clear the air about the end of his marriage. The guy who made headlines around the world for his anti-semetic rant on a police officer wants us all to know that his marriage was over for three years before he hooked up with Oksana. He also joked that we can call him Octo-Mel since the new one will be his eighth:

Gibson, 53, said he took the blame for the divorce. “My wife and I, our marriage ended three years ago and we’ve been separated ever since then,” Gibson said. “These things happen. It’s unfortunate, it’s sad, but you know she is an admirable woman – we still got kids together. We’re friends.”

When Leno pressed Gibson by asking, “So what happened?” Gibson replied, “Look. When it’s all said and done, I did a pretty good hatchet job on my marriage myself. I’m to blame. If you’re inclined to judge, put it here.”

Leno then joked with Gibson about his dating a younger woman. “What, is she 17, 18?” Leno asked. Gibson replied that Grigorieva was almost 40 and “now I am going to have two women mad at me!” Leno then said, “The rumor I have heard is that you guys are going to have a child?” Gibson then confirmed, “This is true. We’re gonna have a child.”

Piling it on, Leno joked, “So that will make 29? ” Quickly, Gibson responded, “Well, actually eight. I guess I’m Octo-Mel.”

If all that is true and if Mel and his wife were separated for three years, why did it take her so long to file for divorce? Was she just putting it off and did Mel force her hand by getting photographed with the other woman? Mel also bought a mansion for Oksana and her seven year-old son in December of last year. Their “love nest” was minutes away from Mel’s family’s estate. So did Mel think that he could carry on with Oksana and stay married? It was Robyn who filed for divorce first. At least he’s coming clean about it now and isn’t trying to hide Oksana’s pregnancy. Surely everything wasn’t as simple as Mel is making it seem, but you can’t blame him for trying to change the public’s perception of him.

    Creepy,but Mel Gibsons preggars girlfriend looks just like
    Octo-Mom.lol

    Anyways,he’s a pig,and I hope his wife takes him for every dime he has.

  2. BLAH says:

    I think she looks like the bride from TIM BURTON’S CORPSE BRIDE 😀

  3. Jones says:

    I have to strongly disagree with your assessment of Mel Gibson. Yes, he did make hateful and sexist comments during his arrest for DUI, but he is best known for his excellent body of work in roles such as, Gallipoli, The Bounty, Hamlet, two series Mad Max and Lethal Weapon, an Oscar for Best Director, Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ. I do not agree with the behaviour of the man during his drunken exploits, but you are wrong to say he is best know for anti-semetic. As for referring to the man as a pig for the divorce and beginning a new family with his girlfriend..hmmm then nearly every male within the thirty mile zone of Hollywood could qualify do you not think so..

  4. Celebitchy says:

    @Jones – point taken and I will re-word that part.

  5. BlahBlah says:

    I have tremendous respect for Mel’s work (acting, directing, etc.) He’s been separated for a long time. His marriage is over, so what?! Marriages end all the time. He deserves some love and happiness in his personal life. AND, different couples have different arrangements. I wish Mel happiness.

  6. halo says:

    Oh, he’s just such a shining beacon of Catholicism!!

  7. Granger says:

    I wonder if their strong Catholic faith has something to do with Robyn not filing for divorce sooner? Because damn, you wouldn’t catch me DEAD with a man like that. Maybe she’s an incurable optimist who hoped Mel was going to mend his alcoholic, womanizing ways, and didn’t consider divorce an option until he started getting serious about Oksana. But then again, maybe she just didn’t like the idea of no longer being Mrs. Mel Gibson…

  8. Megan says:

    He scares me.

  9. ash says:

    Octo-Dad!

  10. lilyBme says:

    sounds like Mel made a Perfect Landing.

  11. e says:

    I believe he is saying they were separated for three years for purposes of limiting how much he will have to pay her in the divorce.

  12. Candy says:

    Seriously, Mr. Gibson. This one looks like she’ll take you to the cleaners. Bless her heart!

  13. annie says:

    whats with that dress? it’s a little out of date

  14. lisa says:

    What a nice upstanding Christian man. All screwing a girlfriend while still married and teaching his kids that this is acceptable.

  15. the original kate says:

    hypocrite.

  16. Sauronsarmy says:

    I think she looks more like Phoebe Price than Octomom.

  17. Essentials says:

    He was told by her this weekend that she had a miscariage, but in fact its more like she wasnt pregnant at all to begin with, and it could sees that there was nothing.
    >Even he had suspected ti all along, it made him very angry.
    And he only said she was pregy to get rid of the paparazzy and of the journalists asking him.

    She is in fact 49, so closer to 50 than 40, among other things she lied to him about.

    The kids are totaly mad at him
    and no he wasnt separated from his wife Robyn for 3 years! this is a lie!
    they had problems and she wanted to divorce but he refused and wanted to try to make it work.
    And they had sex together until thanksgiving in november 2008!
    Only after that, she wanted a divorce but he refused, said he was sorry and renewed his oath of marriage to her, promising to dont do it agian. She agreed but decided not to sleep with him anymore, until he was straight again, because she had seen pictures of him and oksana the slut coming in and out of his trailer in Boston, in september, and had warned him already then, but then new pictures came up in november showing they were stil together.
    And instead to quit cheating his wife, he just get mad at her for refusing him sex services, and dated oksana more, and bought her a house in LA 15 days later!
    She didnt moved in it right away, but he invited her to mexico to make music videos in january and let he rmove into that house in sherman Oaks the 29th of january 2009.
    He then saw her in february and invited her ot Guanacaste, costa rica the first week of march, where pictures of the 2 were taken and that provocated an avalanche.
    He had went too far.
    Since rumor say that she is on her 4rth month, then she got pregy in february.
    meaning she stop taking prevention as soon as she got the house, knowiing hsi marriage was very fragile at that time, thanks to her!, without telling him, and became pregnant about 3-4 weeks later.
    What a whore!
    After he has been acquinted with her past, and with the fact that she dated music producer David Foster the whole time her and Mel were seeign each others, and that this D. Foster bought her a house too, this time in Santa Monica, Mel Gibson do not talk to her anymore.

    He dont want to see her and do not want to acknowledge fatherwood of the coming child.
    As it is not his child.
    David Foster is also divorcing form his wife right now, in the middle of his divorce like Mel Gibson, and like him too, due to his relationship wiht Oksana Grigeriova.

    She is a terrible person and a professional homewrecker.

    Mel gibson is trying to rekindle wiht Robyn, but is pissed because she doesnt want to talk to him yet.

    He isnt living wiht Oksana and do not want to do so.
    she is and will remain an easy girl looking for money, a golddigger, and thats how he sees her now.

    He dont know how to get out of this situation, and has to wait for her to be in her 5th month before DNA test can be done to test the kid for fatherwood.
    After that he will dump her.

    He speaks of her in very hatefull ways, and of course he couldnt do so on tv. Not before she is out of the picture.

    As it could be heard in the jay leno interview, he has no intention to marry her. It says it all.
    It means that he do not acknowledge the child as being his.

    And yes of course she is the reason of the divorce.
    She did everything she could to make it happen.

    Do not beleive a word about what he said on Tv that he was separated from his wife for 3 years meaning that their marriage was over 3 years ago,
    He only said that to echo the comments that oksanas’ mother gave to the press, to prevent that her mother get to know that her daughter did break his marriage, and is a whore!.

    He said that to protect her!
    And by doing so expose his wife!
    This is so low.

    I am well aware that she use threats to get what she wants from him, but nonetheway he could have avoided saying that kind of things.

    And in the Jay Leno show he spoke of her being at icons record, what a lie!
    she never was, he made that up to grant her a prolongation of her visa so that she can give birth in USA so that the kid is granted US citizenship, so that she can get it for free herself that way!
    I think that the immigration control office should look into her files.

    She planed it all! and with 2 houses in CA, one in Sherman Oaks, L.A. and one in Santa Monica, she is granted the rigth to stay for a year together with her faulse record contract.
    Thats so lame!

    Mel, cut her record contract and her leasing contract and kick her out of the US!
    We dont need crap like her here!

    And he is so naive talking about her “making and producing her own album” thats pure add for her. What did she threaten him with ot get him to say such a stupid thng?
    Wake up dude! She was living with a millonaire and she dated Big Mogul Music Producer David Foster, for a year, at the same time as she was laying you! Does that ring a bell?
    “On her own”, my ass!

    With a little help from charlie and a little push from her pussy.
    She cant play the piano but she can spread her legs!
    and she cant sing, but she surely can open her mouth!
    I wish she had done so longer and kept the legs crossed that will have help big time the life of so many others, and prevented this mess!.

    If she was as talented as he hypocritaly lies about in the show, then how come we never heared of her anywhere? and how come she dont even have an amator video of herself on You Tube or in some internet blog, even thus she was together with Timothy Dalton, who is a millionaire who didn’t lack contacts in Hollywood and in England, huh?

    Because she cant do shit thats why!

    The alone thing she is talented for is at polishing the brass, and thats all.
    ´
    Here again she used threats to get her ways.

  18. Wow says:

    Hey, we called this one the day of her “debut”. Let’s all go have a drink.

  19. annie says:

    hey ocean, ah I mean essentials, stop with the incoherent, contradictary yammering already, you sound like a goof.

  20. Codzilla says:

    You’d think a Hollywood big wig with that kind of cash could find a better looking ho.

  21. Ellen Smith says:

    Her son was born in 1997 – he is not 7 years old, but 11 years old (his birthday is in August).

    ————-
    Exactly what I was thinking!! Ocean/Essentials, I thought it was a hoax? LOL Give it up already.

    On another note, I hope things are getting better for the Gibsons; wish Mel and Oksana and healthy baby. Maybe a girl! 😉

  23. Snoopchew says:

    Ocean, Why are you calling yourself essentials these days? When you were Ocean and blogged about Mel, it read to others like you actually knew him. Was that a mistake?

  24. Haha says:

    Oh, Lord. Stop talking nonsense Essentials. David Foster was married to one of the stupidest and most ridiculous plastic Beverly Hills househoes around. I hate those over-baked, fake-tittied, bleached-blonde monstrosities that try their best to be “buddies” with their spoiled and pointless children. Grow up and be a parent! He was sick of supporting her and her brats.

  25. t says:

    My thoughts exactly, Codzilla!!

  26. BlueSkies says:

    Mel will chit-chat with any attractive woman at a bar. I blew him off at the Merc bar as I knew he was married and I had my own suite at the Waldorf. I was looking for young non’drunks at the time.

  27. Snoopchew says:

    Ha Ha, You are right about David Foster and his marriage to Bruce Jenner’s ex. He got tired of her spoiled brats and broke up after he met Oksana. He introduced her on the Dr Phil show as his girlfriend.
