Mel Gibson And Robyn Gibson Divorce

After attending Mass on Easter Sunday at the Roman Catholic church, Mel Gibson spoke to some parishioners. He was overheard saying, "Well, she's filed for divorce." His wife, Robyn Gibson was did not attend the service with him.

The day before Good Friday, Mel Gibson's wife of 28 years, Robyn Gibson signed the divorce papers seeking joint custody over their minor child, Thomas, 9, and spousal support.

Yet the biggest news to this is, according to a response Gibson's lawyer filed, that the two have been separated since August 26, 2006. This was about a month before Mel Gibson was pulled over for a DUI in Malibu. He also made anti-Semitic remarks when he was pulled over. He later apologized for those remarks.

A source has told PEOPLE, "They'll do this amicably. There's a lot of mutual respect and they've worked hard on their marriage and worked hard on their separation."

The source also says, "They'll handle the divorce in the same respectful way."

Mel Gibson also have six older children: Milo, 19, Louis, 21, William, 24, twins Edward and Christian, 26, and daughter Hannah, 28.

Separated for three years and no one knew about it until now. At least they are doing this in a civil way.
