Mel Gibson and his Russian musician girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva are expecting their first child together. This is just six weeks after Gibson's wife, Robyn filed for divorce. Robyn and Mel have been married for 28 years and had seven children together.

A friend of Mel Gibson says, "He couldn't be happier. He loves being a father."

According to People, a source says that there is no relation to Grigorieva's pregnancy and Gibson's divorce. "This has nothing to do with the divorce. Mel didn't even know Oksana was pregnant when they filed," said the source. According to Gibson's divorce response, he and Robyn separated three years ago. Robyn has remained silent about Gibson's relationship with Grigorieva and the pregnancy rumors.

Grigorieva has a son, Alexander, from a former boyfriend, the actor Timothy Dalton. Her son and Gibson's kids seem to get along as a source said that they have met and vacationed together.

L.A. family lawyer, Michael Trope say that the pregnancy is not expected to complicate the divorce. "This pregnancy won't have any effect on Mel Gibson's pending divorce," says Trope, who's not involved with the case. "Just having a girlfriend alone is only relevant if Mel spent large sums of community money on her during his marriage." Robyn is said to be legally entitled to half of Gibson's fortune, estimated at close to $1 billion.

Grigorieva, who is signed to Gibson's record label, Icon Records, is due late fall.

I guess he couldn't wait to finish things first.
