LOS ANGELES (September 18, 2006) — Mel Gibson’s only daughter, Hannah, married blues-rock guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd this weekend.
Gibson, 26, and Shepherd, 29, of Benton, La., exchanged vows in California on Saturday just north of Malibu.
Shepherd’s albums include “Ledbetter Heights” and “Live On.”
He reportedly proposed to Hannah on New Year’s Eve 2004 in Rome.
Gibson, 50, and his wife, Robyn, have seven children. Hannah is their oldest child and only daughter.
The wedding came almost two months after Gibson, 50, star of the “Lethal Weapon” movies and director of “The Passion of the Christ,” was arrested for drunken driving in Malibu on July 28.
Gibson has publicly apologized for an anti-Semitic tirade he unleashed when he was arrested. He has called the remarks “despicable.”
In August, Gibson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge in a deal that called for alcohol rehabilitation, fines and probation.
