Hollywood legend Mel Gibson and his long-term partner, screenwriter Rosalind Ross, have officially ended their relationship, a joint statement has confirmed.
A Quiet End to a Nine-Year Romance
The couple, who have a significant 34-year age gap, had been together for nine years before deciding to part ways. Interestingly, sources indicate the split actually occurred quietly around a year ago, though the news has only just been made public. The pair released a unified statement to People magazine to announce the end of their romantic chapter.
Focus Remains on Their Young Son
Despite the end of their partnership, both Gibson, 69, and Ross, 35, have emphasised that their primary commitment is to their eight-year-old son. Their statement made it clear that co-parenting is their absolute priority moving forward.
'Although it's sad to end this chapter in our lives, we are blessed with a beautiful son and will continue to be the best parents possible,' the former couple said.
Looking to the Future
This celebrity breakup marks the conclusion of one of Hollywood's more enduring recent relationships. The joint and amicable nature of the announcement suggests both parties are determined to maintain a respectful and functional relationship for the sake of their family. Fans of the Academy Award-winning actor and director will now be watching to see what projects both individuals pursue next.
