It is now common knowledge that Mel Gibson's wife Robyn has filed for a divorce and now Gibson's 24-year-old girlfriend Oksana Pochepa a Russian pop singer confirms that she and Mel are indeed and item and that it 'is serious' and that she is in love.

In a new interview in Britain's The Sun, Oksana Pochepa also confirms that she is the mystery brunette photographed kissing Gibson on a Costa Rican beach in March.

"This is serious and I hope that our union will be real and strong and long-lasting," she told the paper Tuesday.

As Us Weekly reports: The two met last August when Pochepa was hired to compose a song for Gibson's upcoming thriller Edge of Darkness.

A source on the Massachusetts set tells Us that the pair - who would spend entire days alone together in his trailer - always tried to be discreet about their relationship.

"They would come out and attempt to walk around separately, but then at the end of the day, they both returned to the same hotel," the on-set source tells Us. "She was there on and off for a week, but it was clear she had no business there other than to be with Mel."
