"This has nothing to do with the divorce. Mel didn't even know Oksana was pregnant when they filed," the source told People.
Mel and Oksana, 40, made their first public appearance together at the Los Angeles "X-Men: Wolverine" premiere in late April.
A source close to the actor previously told Access Hollywood that Mel and Oksana have been together less than one year.
Oksana has a son, Alexander, with her ex, former Bond star Timothy Dalton.
