Mel Gibson is a well-known name in Hollywood for making iconic movies. His life took a turn when he went through a big divorce.
Eighteen years ago, Mel Gibson and his wife, Robyn Denice Moore, decided to separate after being married for 31 years and having seven children. It was a very expensive divorce, with Mel owing Robyn $425 million.
When Mel Gibson met Robyn Denice Moore, he was a young actor dreaming of Hollywood success. His big break came with the movie “Mad Max” in 1979. The next year, he married Robyn and became a father for the first time.
Mel Gibson has had a long career in acting and producing movies, and he also has a big family. During his 31 years of marriage to Robyn, they had seven children together.
Their first child, Hannah Gibson, is 44 years old now and was born in the same year they got married. After that, twins Edward and Christian Gibson were born in 1982, making them both 42 years old.
Three years later, in 1985, they had another son named William Gibson, who is now 39 years old. Then, in 1988, their son Louis Gibson was born, and he is now 36 years old. Two years after that, in 1990, Milo Gibson was born, and he is now 34 years old.
Mel Gibson has seven children in total. His youngest child, Thomas Gibson, is 25 years old and was born in 1999. He had two more children with different women after his seventh child. In 2009, his second daughter, Lucia Gibson, was born to him and Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva. Eight years later, Mel had his youngest child, Lars Gerard Gibson, with his girlfriend Rosalind Ross, who is 33 years old. Mel met Rosalind in 2014 when she was working as a screenwriter for one of his movies.
Despite a 34-year age gap—Rosalind was born in 1990—their age difference hasn’t affected their relationship. They have been together for 10 years. Rosalind has also continued her career as an actress alongside her relationship with Mel.
Mel Gibson was married to Robyn Denice Moore for 31 years, which was his longest relationship.
Their love began to fade, and they decided to separate in 2003. They stayed married for three more years before Robyn filed for divorce.
In the divorce settlement, Robyn received around $425 million from Mel Gibson. This was about half of his estimated fortune and one of the most expensive divorce settlements ever in Hollywood.
Before she met Mel, Robyn worked as a dental hygienist and wasn’t interested in being famous.
There’s no current information about what Robyn is doing these days, but with $425 million from the divorce, she probably doesn’t need to work anymore.
According to Nicki Swift magazine, in 2022, Mel Gibson’s ex-wife bought a home in Malibu, California, and already had two other homes in the area. This shows she’s financially secure, but other than her properties, there’s little known about her current activities.
This divorce settlement was very well-known at the time because of the large amount of money involved. Despite her wealth, Robyn tends to stay out of the public eye.
