LOS ANGELES >> Oscar winner Mel Gibson and Rosalind Ross have separated after nine years together, a representative from Gibson’s legal team told Reuters on Tuesday.
The representative confirmed a joint statement provided exclusively to PEOPLE on Tuesday that the couple had split about a year ago, but chose not to share the news publicly until now.
The couple, who first began dating in 2014, added they planned to continue co-parenting their 8-year-old son, Lars.
“Although it’s sad to end this chapter in our lives, we are blessed with a beautiful son and will continue to be the best parents possible,” the couple wrote in the statement.
The “Mad Max” actor, 69, and Ross, 35, a film director and former equestrian vaulter, were never married.
Gibson has seven children with Robyn Moore, his wife from 1980 to 2011.
