Mel Gibson appears to be embracing a new chapter in his personal life, and insiders claim the actor is moving forward with surprising speed following the end of his long-term relationship. The Oscar-winning filmmaker recently fueled romance speculation. This emerged after a photo of the actor spending time with Italian actress Antonella Salvucci in Rome surfaced online.
Mel Gibson jumping into a new romance feet first could be a problem, claims source
The pair were seen sharing affectionate moments during an evening outing, including walking closely together and exchanging kisses. While representatives have reportedly maintained that Gibson remains officially single and was simply spending time with a friend, sources now claim the relationship has become far more serious behind the scenes.
According to a source, Gibson has thrown himself wholeheartedly into the budding relationship and has been openly enthusiastic when discussing Salvucci with friends. “Mel’s a passionate guy who always tends to jump feet-first into new romances,” the insider claimed. They continued, “It’s who he is, and he knows no other way. And true to form, things are progressing extremely quickly with Antonella.”
The reported romance comes only months after Gibson and screenwriter Rosalind Ross ended their relationship. The former couple shared nearly a decade and are parents to son Lars. In a joint statement announcing their separation, they said they remained committed to co-parenting and raising their son together.
Gibson is also the father of several children from previous relationships, including seven children with former wife Robyn Moore and a daughter with former partner Oksana Grigorieva. According to insiders, Gibson and Ross quietly went their separate ways before publicly confirming the breakup.
Although Gibson has not publicly addressed speculation surrounding Salvucci, the insider claims he prefers to keep details of the relationship out of the spotlight for now. Some people close to him reportedly worry that he may be moving too quickly after a significant relationship ended. “Everyone’s happy to see him all loved-up,” the source stated. They added “But this feels like a classic case of too much, too soon.”
