We’ve watched Mel Gibson star in hit Hollywood films on the big screen for decades, but photos of the Braveheart actor and his nine kids are rare to come by. The iconic actor first stepped into the role of fatherhood in 1980 when he married his ex-wife, Robyn Moore Gibson. Together, they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Hannah, marking the beginning of a family journey that would see them grow to have a total of seven children before their divorce.
Throughout their 26-year relationship, Mel and Robyn became proud parents to six more children: twins Christian and Edward, and sons William, Louis, Milo, and Thomas. After their split, Mel ventured into a new chapter of his personal life, dating Oksana Grigorieva, with whom he had a daughter named Lucia in 2009. This relationship, however, was short-lived as they ended their romance the following year.
Today, Mel is in a loving relationship with Rosalind Ross, and together they welcomed the actor's ninth child, Lars, in 2017. This evolving family dynamic showcases not only Mel Gibson's dedication as a father but also the rare glimpses we get into his life beyond the silver screen.
