Mel Gibson Is Expecting His Ninth Child

The 'Braveheart' star is set to welcome a baby with his girlfriend of two years, Rosalind Ross.

A source told People magazine: "Mel and Rose are so excited about the baby.

"Mel loves being a dad and he and Rose can’t wait to be parents together. The last two years have been some of his happiest years he’s ever had."

Mel already has seven children with his ex-wife Robyn Moore - Hannah, 36, Christian and Edward, both 34, William, 31, Louis, 28, Milo, 26, and Thomas, 17 - as well as six-year-old Luna with his former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.

Meanwhile, the 60-year-old actor previously admitted he has "done a lot of work" on himself in the last decade.

He said: "I've done a lot of work on myself these last 10 years. I've deliberately kept a low profile. I didn't want to just do the celebrity rehab thing for two weeks, declare myself cured and then screw up again. I think the best way somebody can show they're sorry is to fix themselves and that's what I've been doing and I'm just happy to be here. He who tries, gets. If you try, you get somewhere."

When asked what he has learned from his mistakes, he added: "I've learned a lot of things, like phone etiquette ... how to use my 'indoor voice' ... and if you're going to drink, don't talk. Have a designated talker. Nobody has ever said to a drunk person, 'That's a brilliant thought! You need to share that with the world!'"
