Timothy had hit his 50th birthday milestone when he and Oksana welcomed their bundle of joy in August 1997. The parents would go on to split in 2003, but remain in each other’s lives as co-parents. During her intense custody battle with Gibson in 2010, Oksana gushed about Timothy’s fathering to People. “He’s very good,” she said. “We raise our son together, he’s a good father and they have a very good relationship.”
As mentioned, Timothy keeps a very low-profile and rarely speaks about his family. However, he did break protocol uring his 2007 interview with the DailyMail, where he opened up about being Alexander’s pop. “A kid really completes you and makes you far more tolerant of humankind in general, because you realize everyone started out with this deeply precious, wonderful energy and innocence,” he told the outlet.
“Alexander’s a real individual. He’s great,” he continued in the rare disclosure. “It’s strange, you realize when it’s too late that when they were six, seven and eight they still had all these fantastic qualities, but they were children; they were dependent on you. Now you say, ‘We’re going to do this’, and they say, ‘No, I don’t want to. I want to do that.'”
Timothy went on to say that such “beginnings of independence” from his son was “wonderful” to witness, even if the upbringing gets more sophisticated. “Now he comes back from school and says, ‘Dad, what’s the difference between a metaphor and a simile?” How do you explain the difference between “stuck in the mud” and “stubborn as a pig” so a nine-year-old understands?” he explained. “Of course, it’s a challenge being a parent, but it’s a wonderful challenge.”
It appears Alexander follows in his father’s footsteps and keeps quite private. He has no social media presence at this time and neither Timothy nor Oksana have spoken out recently about his career, love life, etc. HollywoodLife will keep you posted on any new updates!
