Mel Gibson shared some baby news on Jay Leno's final week as "Tonight" show host.

The news comes just six weeks after his wife, Robyn, ended their 28-year marriage citing "irreconcilable differences" -- although a source tells the magazine, "This has nothing to do with the divorce.
The 53-year-old Oscar winner has seven children with wife Robyn, but the couple has been separated for almost three years.Mel didn't even know Oksana was pregnant when they filed." This will be Gibson's eighth child; Grigorieva's second. The baby is due in the fall.
Asked about his plan to marry Oksana, the father of seven children simply answered, "Why would you get married twice?" Still in the same interview, Gibson talked about his split from wife of more than 28 years Robyn Moore. "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," he recalled. "Look," he continued. "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 Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva, who is signed to his recording label Icon, began dating less than a year ago. They made their first public appearance as a couple at "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" premiere at the Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, California on April 28.
