Who are Mel Gibson’s 9 children?

He always kept his children out of the spotlight. Mel Gibson, however, allowed himself to break the rule on Tuesday, September 24, during a preview in Los Angeles: that of his film Monster Summer. The actor thus appeared in the company of his daughter Lucia, 14 years old, and his son Lars, 7 years old. Few people remember it, but these are only the 8^e et 9^e children of the actor. Over the years, the hero of Braveheart (1995) gave birth to two girls and seven boys. Overview of their respective journeys, between shadow and light.

Hannah, 43 ans

Born on November 24, 1980 in Australia, Hannah comes from the romance between Robyn Moore, a dental assistant, and Mel Gibson (both were a couple from 1980 to 2009). In the middle of filming Gallipoliin Egypt, the actor did not attend the birth of his eldest daughter, but nevertheless followed her from afar, by telephone. At the age of 20, the young woman decided to follow in her father’s footsteps. At the dawn of the 2000s, she worked as a behind-the-scenes production assistant at The Patriot, the path to freedoma film in which the actor officiates, and What women wantthe same year. Hannah later became a professional makeup artist. A way to continue to gravitate behind the scenes of the seventh art.

On her Instagram account with 3,400 subscribers, the woman who has since undergone a career change – she became a hypnotherapist – posts photos of her relationship in particular. She married Grammy-nominated guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd on September 16, 2006. A musician with whom she welcomed six children. In her bio, Hannah calls herself a “mother,” “wife,” and shares her passion for dancing with hoops. An account on which we also find, jumbled together, advice on life as a couple, photos of his daughters and photos of his King Charles Cavaliers.

Christian, 42 ans

Two years after Hannah’s birth, Mel Gibson and Robyn Moore welcomed twins: Christian and Edward. Born on June 2, 1982 in Australia, the two men took very different paths. Christian first studied at the University of Colorado, before serving as a camera operator.

He exercised his talents on the set of his father’s films like You will not kill (2016) et Very Bad Dads 2 (2017). The cameraman now lives between Los Angeles and Mexico City, and posts photos of his work, his enchanted interludes in Malibu and Mexico, or his moments with brothers on his Instagram account to 3,600 subscribers.

Edward, 42 ans

His brother Edward, for his part, turned to a more artisanal profession. He studied glassblowing at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco, then founded a company called Natural Edge, through which he sold furniture made from wood imported from Fiji.

The idea was born from his stay on a remote island in the country, where he lived like a Robinson for two years. A way of life that has left its mark. Uninterested in the spotlight, Edward even deleted his Instagram account.

William, 39 ans

Born in 1985 from the relationship between Robyn Moore and Mel Gibson, William is also very discreet. Even his profession remains unknown. In 2019, however, he appeared in a photo published by his brother Milo, on the occasion of National Siblings Day.

We see him posing, all smiles, soaked, wearing a life jacket and a helmet. “Happy National Brothers and Sisters Day,” Milo wrote in the caption of this photo carousel. You have no idea how long it took me to make this post. Family is for life, stay close to them, because they will stay by your side, with a little luck.”

Louie, 36 years old

Also from the relationship between Robyn Moore and Mel Gibson, Louie was born three years after his brother William. And chooses, like Christian and Hannah, to evolve in the world of the seventh art. In 2011, he earned his film degree from Chapman University in Orange, California. His favorite field? Horror films. Having become a screenwriter, filmmaker and producer, he directs feature films like Happy Hunting (2016) et Manifest Weststreaming soon on Hulu. A work with which Louie maintains a special link: his brother Milo in fact officiates in the film. Just like his partner, the actress Annet Mahendru (seen in the series The Americans)

Both married in 2016, and had “at least one child,” says the magazine People . The couple also confided in their romance in the columns of The Bare Magazinein November 2022. “I have seen Annet transform so many times over the years,” confides Louie in this interview. I would say we trusted each other. Which was already the case in our personal life. I guess that had an impact. I hope to work with Annet until the end of my career.”

And the main interested party outbid: “No one in the world makes me as comfortable as Lou. On our first date, we said we’d have 10 kids together – I think we were talking about kids as well as movies!” No wonder, therefore, that the actress’s face appears regularly on her partner’s Instagram account, particularly as part of the promotion of their “latest baby”.

Milo, 33 years old

Born on November 16, 1990 in Australia, Milo is the 6^e child of Mel Gibson and Robyn Moore. And perhaps the one who most aspires to be like his father. The young man, who has always dreamed of being an actor, was however slow to set out to conquer Hollywood. After attending high school in Malibu, Milo worked as a physiotherapist, before turning to the profession of electrician.

But in 2016, his professional life took a new turn. It’s decided: Milo will become an actor. “It’s very scary to make this change,” he told the magazine. People, in 2017. But one day I realized that I didn’t want to celebrate my 50th birthday and regret not having tried to do what I’m passionate about.”

Since then he has worked with his father in the film You will not kill (2016), directed by Mel Gibson, and featured in the cast of Manifest Westthe feature film by his brother Louie, or even Clawfoot, The Outpost et Gangster Land. In 2017, Milo also confided to People the admiration he has for his father. “We had a lot of fun, but it was a professional relationship,” he said of filming You will not kill. It was amazing to see Mel working live – he’s really good at it.”

Once in the shadows, Milo now has 21,900 Instagram subscribers. A social network on which he also documents his boxing sessions, his boat trips with friends and his vacations with brothers. He also reveals that he married his partner Katrina in September 2023, posing with their baby in his arms.

Thomas, 25 years old

The youngest child of Mel Gibson and Robyn Moore is undoubtedly the most mysterious of his brothers and sisters. Born in Los Angeles on April 14, 1999, Thomas is said to be very close to his family. In 2009, however, he was the only one of his siblings to still be a minor when his parents divorced, after 29 years of marriage. He was then 10 years old. Since then, the young man has always evolved in the shadow of the spotlight.

Lucia, 14 years old

Just six weeks after announcing his divorce, Mel Gibson is taking the world by storm: he reveals that his new partner, the Russian pianist and singer Oksana Grigorieva, is pregnant with their first child. Their daughter Lucia was born on October 30, 2009, in Los Angeles. For a long time, her parents protected her from the paparazzi’s flashes. But in 2022, Lucia appeared in a music video by her mother, entitled Lemonade.

“It echoes certain difficult periods of my past,” writes the latter on her Instagram account, “and we find there the person who was there for me every step of the way, with her unconditional purity, her dedication and her love. This person is my daughter Lucia, an inspiration in my life.”

But the relationship between the musician and Mel Gibson ended a long time ago. Both experienced a stormy divorce in 2010, during which Oksana Grigorieva accused her ex-partner of having assaulted her. Which did not prevent Lucia from remaining close to her father. She appeared alongside him at the premiere of Monster Summer.

Lars, 7 years old

In 2014, Mel Gibson met the rider and screenwriter Rosalind Ross, with whom he is still in a relationship. In September 2016, both revealed that they were expecting their first child. “Mel and Rose are so excited about welcoming a baby,” says a relative to the magazine People. Mel loves being a dad and can’t wait for him and Rose to become parents together. The last two years have been some of the happiest he has ever experienced.”

Their son Lars was born on January 22, 2017, in Los Angeles. “They are delighted and Lars is adorable,” an anonymous source later declared. Lars has since treated himself to a remarkable red carpet alongside his father and his half-sister Lucia, for the premiere of Monster Summer. The start of a long series? Mel Gibson is indeed expected at the cinema in Boneyard and in season 1 of Barbary Coast. This fall, he will also unveil his new film as director, High risk flightworn by Mark Wahlberg, and plans to launch the sequel to The Passion of Christhis controversial film released in 2004.
