Mel Gibson might add one more child to his extended brood. A reality star named Laura Bellizzi, whom he dated briefly over the summer, is telling friends she's pregnant with his child.

Radar Online reports that Bellizzi and Gibson met through mutual friends over the summer and dated for a short while.

The chemistry was good, they clicked instantly and the affair was passionate, the e-zine claims. It doesn't say whether it ended or why it did.

“Laura and Mel met through some mutual friends in Malibu, and the chemistry was instant,” says a spy.

However, Bellizzi is about 4 months pregnant and there are some indications that she's carrying Gibson's child.

While reps for both have denied such claims, with Gibson's publicist even saying it was “physically impossible” for him to have another child, Radar says that's all meant to be a cover-up because Mel is really the father.

“A close insider says that Bellizzi has confided to friends that Mel is the baby daddy, but does not want the news to go public,” Radar writes.

“Laura’s being as secretive as she can be about it.But she’s really showing now, and people are beginning to ask the question: ‘Who’s the daddy?’” says the spy.

Even a family friend has (half) confirmed that Gibson is the father of the yet unborn child.

“A member of Laura’s family has also confirmed to Star that she is in fact pregnant by 'an A-lister' and that the child will have 'a famous father',” Radar writes.

Should the above prove accurate, this will be Mel's ninth child and Laura's third. The actor has seven children with his soon to be ex-wife, and another one with former girlfriend, Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva.

When he and Oksana broke up, all hell broke loose as tapes emerged of Mel hurling insults and threatening the mother of his child. The case was settled in court.
