Mel Gibson is an “incredible” and “hands-on” father to his new baby daughter.
The actor – whose girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva gave birth to Lucia Anne on October 30 – has been praised for his excellent parenting skills despite only spending three days with his newborn because of work commitments. Oksana revealed:
“Mel’s very hands-on. He was amazing while he was here for a short visit. He has been very doting and nurturing. He is incredible with children, very kind.
“He’s an amazing person and he treats everybody equally. That’s what I know. I know him as a very kind and generous person, embracing his friends and family. He’s tremendous as a dad, unbelievable.
“He’s ecstatic. He is very much in love with her already. She just wins people’s hearts, she’s so beautiful and tiny.”
The 53-year-old actor was forced to take a break from his upcoming film ‘The Beaver’ as he rushed to Los Angeles to be at Oksana’s hospital side when she went into labor a month early.
Although he missed the birth, he arrived a few hours later and spent three days with his new family before returning to the film set last Monday. Oksana explained to Britain’s Hello! magazine:
“I was at home then I got rushed into hospital and, eight hours later, I could look at her beautiful face. Mel came just a few hours later because he had to fly from New York.”
Russian singer Oksana also admitted their relationship is still going strong.
“We’ve always been very spiritually connected and emotionally, too. We’ve always been very close.
“Having children is an overwhelming feeling, beautiful.”
The ‘Braveheart’ star already has six sons and a daughter with former wife Robyn – who filed for divorce in April this year after 28 years of marriage – while Oskana has a 12-year-old son Alexander with actor Timothy Dalton.
Being such a staunch Catholic, I’d be very surprised if he was able to divorce his wife which means that he’s morally and legally and adulterer. I have no respect for this man – I don’t care how many diapers he changes.
God bless him for having 8 kids!!!
He is just plain creepy.
I wonder if he calls his kids “sugar tits” like he did that cop.
3 days makes him a wonderful hands-on father? And I have to think that at least 2 of those 3 days were spent in the hospital. I wonder if his other kids think he’s a great hands-on father?
The guy had 7 KIDS !, I am pretty sure he is a great dad! Now is he a great partner? I doubt it knowing how he treated his ex wife! But anyway, congrats to him and his girlfriend, havnig a kid is always a blessing!
Umnn Well he keeps making kids, I would hope he’s a good one.
my thoughts exactly…with that many kids, he BETTER be a good one.
She kind of sounds like the lady who just had Jude Law’s kid
True. Maybe they are both still on the new-baby high?
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…..

Yup, yup.
I hope he takes good care of this child and his partner. So sad that he divorced Robyn. He used to be so revered and GORGEOUS!!! What happened?!?! Too much booze and philandering! Just goes to show…
well that’s just a few days to say he’s a great father. if he treats all of his children the same and is a father to them all, then he can be called a great father.
This comment is spot-on and also horribly sad.
“We’ve always been very spiritually connected and emotionally, too. We’ve always been very close.”
I’m sure his ex-wife use to think the same thing and she had 7 of his kids.
