Maybe this is the real reason Mel Gibson won't be back for the next Mad Max: he's got more maddening things to worry about. Like diaper duty.

"This will confirm that Oksana Grigorieva and Mel Gibson welcomed the arrival of a baby girl named Lucia on Friday, Oct. 30, 2009, at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles," publicist Alan Nierob tells E! News. "No further details are available at this time."

The 53-year-old Oscar winner confirmed he and his other woman fiancée were expecting during a Tonight Show appearance in May, during which he dubbed himself "Octo-Mel."

He has six sons and one daughter with his estranged wife of 28 years, Robyn. She filed for divorce in April after photos surfaced of the star and Grigorieva in Costa Rica, and Mel admitted he and the aspiring singer were romantically involved.

Grigorieva, meanwhile, has a son from her relationship with former Bond star Timothy Dalton.
