Actor Mel Gibson has finally confirmed the rumors on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. Mel and his wife Robyn have been separated for more than three years but just recently filed for divorce after finding out his Russian girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, is pregnant.

He told Leno, “My wife and I, our marriage ended three years ago and we’ve been separated ever since then. These things happen. It’s unfortunate, it’s sad, but you know she is an admirable woman - we still got kids together. We’re friends…”

“Look, when it’s all said and done, I did a pretty good hatchet job on my marriage myself. I’m to blame. If you’re inclined to judge, put it here.”

Mel, “This is true. We’re gonna have a child.”

Leno teased about his growing brood, “So that will make 29?” and Gibson shot back, “Well, actually eight. I guess I’m Octo-Mel.”

Mel makes fun of himself and takes the blame for the divorce!? I think that is the right thing to do… he was a gentleman! Mel and Oksana are starting a new family and the problem now will be getting the acceptance of Mel’s seven kids. Mel Gibson on Jay Leno will air on Monday (June 1).

Congratulations to the happy couple!!
