Two years after, Mel directed Braveheart and won an Academy Award for Best Director. In 2004, Mel co-wrote, co-produced, and directed The Passion of the Christ.

One daughter, Hannah (1980), and six sons, Edward (1982), Christian (1982), William (1985), Louis (1988), Milo (1990), and Thomas (1999). Mel and Robyn separated 0n July 29, 2006. Three years after their separation, Robyn filed for divorce on April 13, 2009 and cited irreconcilable differences. The divorce filing happened a month after Mel was spotted with Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva. Mel’s divorce from Robyn was finalized on Dec. 23, 2011. It was reported that the settlement with his ex-wife was the highest in Hollywood at over $400 million. While the divorce from his first marriage was in the works, Mel and Oksana had a daughter, Lucia, born in 2009. In April 2010, Mel and Oksana had split. Once they went their separate ways, Oksana claimed she had a domestic violence incident with Mel, which sparked an investigation with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. During that controversy, his estranged ex-wife had to file a court document stating she never endured any violence from her ex-husband during their time together. In Aug. 2011, Mel eventually settled with Oksana and she was awarded $750,000, joint legal custody and a house in Sherman Oaks, Calif. until their daughter Lucia turns 18. In 2015, it is being reported that Mel got his 24-year-old girlfriend, Rosalind Ross, pregnant with his ninth child.
