After nine years of relationship, Mel Gibson and Rosalind Ross have separated. The news, confirmed by Peopleputs an end to a story born away from the spotlight but grown under the constant attention of the media, especially after the birth of their only child together, Lars. A separation that occurred quietly, about a year ago, and was managed with discretion, precisely to protect the child’s well-being.
Mel Gibson and Rosalind Ross separate
In one exclusive joint statement issued to PeopleGibson and Ross explained, “Although it is sad to end this chapter of our lives, we have been blessed with a wonderful son and will continue to be the best parents we can be.” This love therefore ends without controversy, but marked by a common desire to maintain a family balance for Lars today 8 years.
Mel Gibson, 69 years olde Rosalind Ross, 35they met in 2014 through mutual friends and started dating almost immediately. Ross, screenwriter and director, had shared her private life and a deep professional understanding with Gibson, always remaining out of the way from the Hollywood clamor that has accompanied the Oscar-winning actor and director for decades. In 2017, a few days before Gibson’s Oscar nomination for best director for The Battle of Hacksaw Ridgethe couple had welcomed Lars.
On that occasion, Gibson emotionally recounted a symbolic moment in his life: “What could be more exciting than listening to the announcement of the nominations while holding my newborn baby in my arms?” An image that today takes on decidedly more nuanced contours, in light of a separation that does not, however, erase the bond built around parenthood.
The difficult times experienced in 2025
In addition to Lars, Mel Gibson is the father of eight other children. With his ex-wife Robyn Moore, from whom he divorced after over twenty years of marriage, he had Hannah and six sons: Christian, Edward, William, Louis, Milo and Thomas.

The actor was out of town on business, but his family and pets were safely evacuated. During an interview with Elizabeth Vargas Reports are NewsNationGibson said: “The good news is that my family and the people I love are all OK… that’s all I care about, really.”
Despite the separation, Gibson and Ross appeared together publicly until recently: in September 2024little Lucia and Lars had accompanied their father on the red carpet of the premiere of Monster Summer in Los Angeles, confirming a family structure that, despite changing shape, remains present.
