Mel Gibson has welcomed his ninth child with partner of two years, Rosalind Ross. The baby boy – the 61-year-old actor’s ninth child – was born in Los Angeles over the weekend and has been named Lars Gerard Gibson, according to reports in the US.

Gibson is already the father of eight children. The Oscar-winning filmmaker shares seven children with his first wife, Robyn Moore, including one daughter — Hannah, 36 — and seven sons — twins Edward and Christian, 34, William, 31, Louis, 28, Milo, 26, and Thomas, 17.

“They’re thrilled and Lars is adorable. Their family is all around them and Mel is over the moon. They’re home and everybody is healthy and happy!” a source told People magazine.

Gibson recently settled a lengthy child support battle with his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, who he split from in 2010. They are parents to six-year-old daughter Lucia.
