Mel Gibson
Hollywood actor Mel Gibson missed the birth of his new baby daughter because he was on the other side of the country when his girlfriend unexpectedly went into labor. Oksana Grigorieva welcomed the couple's first child, Lucia, on October 30th in Los Angeles California, even though she wasn't due to give birth until December. They both admit the timing took them both by surprise, because Gibson was filming in New York and she was home alone when she went into labor. Grigorieva tells
Britain's Hello magazine, "She was almost a month early. I was at home and then I got rushed to hospital, and then eight hours later, I could look at her beautiful face. It was fairly straightforward, as births go. It happened very quickly. "He (Gibson) came a few hours later because he had to fly from New York. ... He is ecstatic. He is in love with her already. He's very hands-on. He has been very doting and nurturing."
