LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Mel Gibson has performed in several great movies, including 'The Passion of the Christ' and 'Braveheart', but his most important role will always be that of a father to his children. It is surprising that the actor has maintained a livelier personal life amid his demanding professional schedule. In contrast to his typically lonesome on-screen personas, the 67-year-old has dated several women, made it through a 26-year marriage and has a large family. The actor has nine children, including a son with his current partner, Rosalind Ross.
Gibson was recently spotted with former president Donald Trump, accompanying him to a UFC fight in Las Vegas. Trump spoke for 40 minutes to a group of Republican volunteers in Las Vegas about the border, the economy, crime and trans women in sports. Trump, UFC president Dana White, avid Republican operative Roger Stone and Gibson attended a UFC fight at the T-Mobile stadium, per the Daily Mail.
Gibson first met Robyn Denis Moore, a dental nurse, very early in his career. They had a daughter and six sons after getting married in June 1980. Gibson and Moore divorced in 2011 citing irreconcilable differences. He shares a daughter, Lucia, with Oksana Grigorieva, a Russian pianist he started seeing in 2007. Following charges of domestic violence, their relationship ended in 2010. In addition, he shares a son named Lars Gerard with 35-year-old award-winning equestrienne Rosalind Ross. The couple has been together since 2014.
Hannah Gibson
In 1980, Gibson and Moore had their oldest daughter, Hannah. Hannah dabbled in the film business, working as a makeup artist on 'What Women Want' and as a production assistant for 'The Patriot' in 2000, but she has mainly remained out of the spotlight. She tied the knot with blues-rocker Kenny Wayne Shepherd in 2006. Her Instagram bio stated that she has six kids, making Mel a grandfather. She frequently uploads videos of herself hula-hooping.
Edward Gibson
Edward was born in 1982. Edward is a very private person who rarely discusses his life in public. He is the owner of the Los Angeles-based furniture manufacturer Natural Edge. According to its Instagram account, the company uses "reclaimed wood slabs imported from the Fiji islands" to make items like tables and seats.
Christian Gibson
Edward's twin brother is a little less secretive and more open about his life. Christian entered the film business like his father, but he worked as a cameraman on many TV shows and movies, including his father's 'Hacksaw Ridge' and the Netflix originals 'Coyote' and 'Bird Box'. His Instagram is filled with gorgeous behind-the-scenes images from the productions he has been a part of.
William 'Willie' Gibson
William is the third child of Mel and Robyn. He was born in 1985. Despite having a high-profile star father, he also leads a quiet and low-key life and has mostly avoided the spotlight.
Louis Gibson
Louis was born in 1988. Louie has written, produced and directed for TV and film. According to his IMDb profile, 'Happy Hunting' from 2017 was the first full-length film he wrote, edited and directed. In addition, he created and directed the upcoming film, 'Manifest West,' which stars his 30-year-old brother Milo. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter from 2018, Milo disclosed that he and Louie used to collaborate on films when they were younger.
Milo Gibson
Milo was born in 1990. Just like Gibson, Milo too became an actor. He made his debut in 2016's 'Hacksaw Ridge' besides appearing in his brother's upcoming film. In addition to the films he made with his family, he has also acted in the movies 'Breaking & Exiting' (2018) and 'Under The Stadium Lights' (2021).
Milo was an electrician before he entered the film industry because he was determined not to choose a profession merely because it ran in the family. To prevent any regrets, he chose to give acting a shot, and soon realized he had a natural talent for it. Milo claimed that his father was highly supportive of his decision to pursue an acting career.
Thomas 'Tommy' Gibson
Thomas was born in 1999. Thomas was 10 when Gibson and Moore divorced in 2009 after separating in 2006. Not much is known about Thomas. People claimed at the time that his parents tried their best to make the divorce as amicable as possible. The 25-year-old, who was raised in Malibu by his mother, has kept a low profile.
Lucia Gibson
Following Gibson and Moore's divorce, the director of 'The Passion of the Christ' started seeing 51-year-old Russian singer-songwriter, Oksana Grigorieva. In 2009, the couple welcomed a daughter, Lucia. However, Gibson and Grigorieva separated in 2010 after she claimed that he had hit her in the face and sought a restraining order against him, per People. The two came to a custody agreement, but because she broke a confidential agreement, Gibson was awarded $500,000 as compensation.
Lars Gerard
Gibson began dating screenwriter Rosalind Ross, 33, in 2014. They seemed to get along despite having an age gap of more than 30 years. In 2017, the couple welcomed their son, Lars Gerard.
