Actor Mel Gibson became a grandfather for the third time on Saturday (12Mar11), just one day after pleading no contest to misdemeanor battery charges.
Gibson's daughter, Hannah, and her husband, blues singer Kenny Wayne Shepherd, welcomed a baby boy over the weekend, reports Tmz.com. The couple already has two children.
The good news follows Gibson's court appearance on Friday (11Mar11), when the actor/director was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to undergo a year of counselling after pleading no contest to a charge of simple misdemeanour battery.
The embattled star's latest legal woe stems from accusations filed against him by his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, who alleged Gibson attacked her during a heated argument in January 2010.
The former couple has been locked in a war of words over custody of their baby daughter Lucia since splitting last year (10).
