Actor Mel Gibson, who is going through a divorce from his wife
of 28 years, said his Russian girlfriend is expecting their
baby.
"This is true," Gibson said during an appearance on The Tonight
Show With Jay Leno after the host asked him to confirm speculation
that musician Oksana Grigorieva was pregnant.
Gibson, 53, who already has seven children, gave away few details,
replying jokingly, "A human being, I think," when Leno asked about
the baby's gender.
Celebrity gossip websites said the baby was due in the
autumn.
Gibson appeared to rule out any marriage plans, saying, "Who would
do it twice?"
Gibson's wife, Robyn, filed for divorce last month, citing
irreconcilable differences with the Lethal Weapon star.
Gibson, dressed in blue jeans, blue blazer and white dress shirt,
appeared philosophical about the divorce, saying, "I did a pretty
good hatchet job on my marriage."
He said he and his wife split up three years ago, shortly after he
was arrested in Malibu for drunken driving and launched into an
alcohol-fuelled tirade against Jews.
He apologized and sought treatment for alcoholism.
Gibson told Leno he met Grigorieva, 39, in 2008 after the
singer/pianist had been signed to his Icon Records label.
They appeared in public together a month ago at a Los Angeles
industry screening of X-Men Wolverine: Origins.
Gibson was raised in Australia and was one of the highest- paid and
most popular actors in the world in the 1990s, winning
best-director and best-picture Oscars for his 1995 movie
Braveheart.
