Mel Gibson - Gibson 'Relaxed' About Grigorieva's Pregnancy

MEL GIBSON and his girlfriend OKSANA GRIGORIEVA are taking their impending parenthood in their stride - the couple is already organising work schedules around the pregnancy.

The Lethal Weapon actor, who filed for divorce from his wife of 28 years, Robyn, in April (09), is expecting his eighth child with his musician lover.

The tot will be Grigorieva's second - she is already a mum to 12-year-old Alexander, her son by James Bond star Timothy Dalton.

Singer Grigorieva reveals the couple is relaxed about the baby's impending arrival in December (09), and they are even busily working before the birth.

She says, "I've been a mother for 12 years so there's no first time mother's trepidation. Naturally, it's more relaxed and I'm very dynamic, so the pregnancy falls into my work schedule."

Despite Gibson and his lover previously ruling out marriage, Grigorieva admits the baby has made their bond stronger than ever.

She adds, "How could I not be impressed by such an intimate connection with a miracle of life. Children are beautiful."
