Mel Gibson's partner has given birth to the couple's first child together, a girl called Lucia.
Gibson's publicist, Alan Nierob, confirmed Oksana Grigorieva, 39, gave birth on Friday.
Grigorieva, a pianist and songwriter, also has a teenage son with former James Bond actor Timothy Dalton.
Gibson, 53, already has seven children with estranged wife Robyn, who filed for divorce to end their 28-year marriage in April.
Gibson has said the pair split up three years ago and that he met Grigorieva in 2008 while filming Edge of Darkness.
The Oscar-winner revealed his girlfriend was pregnant on The Tonight Show earlier this year.
"When it's all said and done, I did a pretty good hatchet job on my marriage myself," he told Jay Leno.
"I'm to blame. If you're inclined to judge, put it here."
