Mel Gibson and Rosalind Ross are separating after nine years together, Page Six has confirmed.
“Although it’s sad to end this chapter in our lives, we are blessed with a beautiful son and will continue to be the best parents possible,” the former couple told People in a joint statement Tuesday.
Gibson, 69, and Ross, 35 — who quietly ended their relationship about a year ago — plan to co-parent their 8-year-old son, Lars.
The pair welcomed their son in 2017, just days before Gibson was nominated for the best director Academy Award for his 2016 film, “Hacksaw Ridge.”
“What could be more exciting than listening to the nominations being announced while holding my newborn son,” Gibson said in a statement at the time.
Although the duo has kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight, Gibson and Ross did walk the red carpet together at the 2017 Oscars. They made their red carpet debut at the 69th Cannes Film Festival a year prior.
Gibson also walked the red carpet with their son at a screening of Gibson’s “Monster Summer” in 2024.
In January 2025, the family tragically lost their $14.5 million Malibu home in the LA wildfires.
“The good news is that those in my family and those I love are all well, and we’re all happy and healthy and out of harm’s way, that’s all I can care about, really,” Gibson said during a Jan. 9 appearance on News Nation.
