10th May 2023, Mumbai: Robert De Niro, one of Hollywood’s most legendary actors, has recently announced that he has become a father for the seventh time. The 79-year-old actor, known for his unparalleled talent, is reportedly ecstatic about welcoming another child into his family. De Niro has two children with Diahnne Abbott, two with Toukie Smith, two with Grace Hightower, and has now reportedly welcomed his fifth child with his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen.
De Niro confirmed the news to Page Six, though he did not reveal the name or sex of the baby. However, he was quick to correct an ET reporter who referred to him as a father of six, stating that he is now the father of seven children. While he did not explicitly name Chen as the mother of the child, she was reportedly seen with a baby bump last month.
The announcement has come as a surprise to many fans, but De Niro himself was not shocked by the news. He told Page Six during the premiere of About My Father that welcoming a child at his age was not surprising, as he had planned it. He quipped, “How you could not plan that kind of thing?”
De Niro was clearly elated at the prospect of becoming a father again, as was evident from his appearance at the event. He wore a navy blue blazer, a striped grey t-shirt, and black trousers, and posed for the cameras with a huge grin on his face.
The news of De Niro’s seventh child has caused quite a stir, but the actor is now focusing on his upcoming movie, About My Father. The movie is set to release in US theaters on May 26. De Niro, with his legendary acting skills, is sure to leave audiences spellbound once again.
