14 DAY TRIAL // When word first broke that Mel Gibson’s wife, Robyn, had filed for divorce from the actor, speculation started to build up that foul play on his behalf might have prompted her to do so. Apparently, Gibson’s supposed mistress, Oksana Grigorieva, began telling people that she was pregnant, which made Robyn file the papers to avoid being publicly humiliated, News.com says.
Robyn finally took the big step after putting up with Gibson’s cheating ways for many years, it has been said. Still, she claimed they had been living separately for almost three years, almost shortly after the actor was arrested for DUI and made the headlines for hurling anti-Semite insults at a female officer during the arrest. Nevertheless, hearing that some woman was telling her friends that she was expecting her husband’s child was more than Robyn could take, it has now emerged.
“Robyn, 53, a former Adelaide dental nurse who has seven children with Gibson, ended their 28-year marriage after Oksana Grigorieva told friends she was expecting. She was also horrified to find the ‘Braveheart; star had moved the stunning 39-year-old and her son, 11, into one of his mansions in California. […] Robyn put up with the New York-born, Australian-raised Oscar winner for years but when she found out Oksana was telling friends she’s pregnant it was the last straw.” the aforementioned publication writes.
Still, there is no confirmation yet of whether Gibson is actually dating Oksana, as neither has identity been fully established. What is certain, though, is that the legendary actor was photographed by paparazzi getting very friendly with a brunette woman on the beach at his Costa Rica home, wherefrom talk of him cheating on Robyn. Despite all this, the tabloid media is now saying that the two are living together and that, indeed, Oksana is pregnant with the actor’s child.
Robyn, on the other hand, is said to be looking to get a quick divorce first and leave the division of the assets for later. Whichever may be the case, this will be one of the most expensive divorces in the history of Hollywood, since Robyn is entitled to half of Mel’s fortune (estimated at over $900 million back in 2006), as they did not sign a prenup when they married in 1980.
