Who is Rosalind Ross, Mel Gibson’s girlfriend who’s half his age and the mother of his 9th child? The screenwriter is also a former equestrian vaulter and has been credited with changing the actor’s life

The ever-controversial yet ever-successful Mel Gibson’s long-time girlfriend, Rosalind Ross – known to her friends as Rosey, per Hello! – celebrated her 34th birthday last month, while her beau turned 68 in January. Despite their huge age difference, the couple has been going strong since 2014 and have a seven-year-old son together, Lars Gerard Gibson, who is the actor’s ninth child. Being with Ross, who is half his age, gave Gibson some of the “happiest years he’s ever had”, a source told People in March.

Upsocl Icons, an Instagram, TikTok and YouTube account dedicated to public figures, also suggested that Ross came in like a “breath of fresh air” for Gibson while he was embroiled in scandal after scandal involving domestic violence, antisemitism, misogyny, racism and homophobia. After Hollywood turned its back on the one-time Sexiest Man Alive , Ross entered the picture and, per The Sydney Morning Herald, was reportedly able to exert a calming influence over the famously volatile actor. But who is Rosalind Ross, whose favourite movie is Braveheart and who’s been touted as the woman who changed Mel Gibson’s life? Here’s everything we know.
