Gibson met his wife Robyn Moore in the late 1970s soon after filming Mad Max when they were both tenants at the same house in Adelaide. At the time, Robyn was a dental nurse and Mel was an unknown actor working for the South Australian Theatre Company. On June 7, 1980, they married in a Catholic Church in Forestville, New South Wales. Gibson has referred to his wife as “my Rock of Gibraltar, only much prettier” and said, “life is about love and commitment and screw anyone who thinks that’s a cliché.” They have one daughter, six sons, and one grandchild. Their seven children are Hannah (born 1980), twins Edward and Christian (born 1982), William (born 1985), Louis (born 1988), Milo (born 1990), and Thomas (born 1999).

Robyn Gibson filed for divorce on April 13, 2009.

Daughter Hannah Gibson married Blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd on September 16, 2006. Mel Gibson’s spokesman had previously denied the rumor that Hannah was planning to become a nun.

This has been rumoured for months. Again, best for all - that’s a large family.

Wow! I wonder if it has to do with his drinking. If they get divorced, he can’t take communion...that is tragic. I don’t believe in divorce and thnakfully neither does my wife.

It was reported and photographed a couple weeks ago that Gibson was at his Costa Rican estate with some babeage with a great body.

“...always strived...”? What is it with lawyers [I used to be a prosecutor] and reporters and the English language? The word is STRIVEN!

Maybe he got too close with Britney Spears when he was advising and consoling her?

As a strict Catholic would he give her a divorce? He should refuse on religious grounds, and just let the courts force him into it.

I think Mrs. Gibson gave this marriage her all. Mel has admitted to being unfaithful in the past. He has only himself to blame for this.

“Mrs. Gibson, I’m sorry, but ‘getting too old for this s**t’ is not a valid ground for divorce in California.”

With seven kids it’s going to be hard to make the case for annulment.

Damn shame but I think they’ll both get through it ok.

Very sad but he still left a great legacy behind.

The full article states they have been separated for three years. They (and the lawyers) undoubtedly have things settled already and it was time for the inevitable announcement of the divorce filing.

I doubt if the MSM vultures will have a lurid divorce trial to write about, much to their dismay.

How sad.

His personal demons were just to much.
