Mel Gibson will likely pay “a large amount of child support” to ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva now that the couple has called it quits, said People.com. Gibson and Grigorieva were never married, but lawyers say he could end up paying the Russian beauty as much as $15,000 per month to support their 5-month-old daughter, Lucia. The actor, 54, is also facing a possible $500 million settlement in his divorce from his wife of three decades, Robyn, whom he left for Grigorieva in 2008.
