Mel Gibson’s Russian ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva confirmed the couple’s split at her first public appearance since the breakup was revealed.
Grigorieva, a 39-year-old Moscow-born singer, gave birth to the married Oscar-winner’s daughter Lucia last October — only to be unceremoniously dumped last week. Oksana spoke briefly about the split during a press conference to announce a concert for the Give A Life charity in Moscow on Monday.
“I can tell you that we have split up, suddenly and recently, unfortunately, I cannot give you the reason. But you will find out everything quite soon. Here is the official version: We split up by mutual consent and we will raise our daughter together. She is currently with my mother in my Los Angeles home.”
Oksana also confirmed that she is having a hammer-and-sickle tattoo – which Mel, 54, suggested for her – removed from her ankle.
