Mel Gibson and Rosalind Ross split after nine years together

The entertainment world has been shaken again by the news: **69-year-old Mel Gibson and 35-year-old Rosalind Ross have decided to part ways after nine years of life together**. This was reported by *People*, citing an exclusive statement from the couple.

“While it is sad to close this chapter of our lives, we are blessed with a wonderful son and will continue to be the best parents we can be for him,” shared the actor and his partner.

Over the years, the couple rarely shared details of their private life, preferring to keep their relationship away from the paparazzi’s attention. Yet fans always followed them with interest: Mel, as always, remained a global star, while Rosalind, a successful athlete and coach, brought freshness and energy to their union.

Their son became the center of their family, and according to the couple, **caring for him will remain a priority even after the separation**.

Today’s statement is an example of a mature and civil breakup: no public accusations, scandals, or social media conflicts. They emphasize **maintaining family warmth and looking after their child**, showing that a separation doesn’t always mean hostility.

For many, this is a lesson: relationships, no matter how strong they seem, sometimes end, but respect and shared responsibility can last forever.
