Even at 79 years old, Robert De Niro is still going strong. Not with acting, appearing on the red carpet, or, um, having children. New information indicates that the renowned performer recently gave birth to his seventh child. In an appearance this week, the Goodfellas actor seemed to confirm the rumors that he had indeed re-parented.
According to The Sun, De Niro was asked by an ET Canada reporter what it was like to be the father of six kids. With a straight face, De Niro responded, “Seven actually. De Niro was there to promote his new movie, About My Father. The baby I just had. ”.

The mere fact that De Niro has once again become a father at the age of 79 has garnered attention from onlookers despite his decision to withhold the baby’s gender and mother’s identity. Once the news had been confirmed by his representative to CNN yesterday, the award-winning actor moved to reassure fans that it wasn’t a hoax. De Niro admitted, when asked about being a dad, “I don’t think I’m a cool dad,” and he added that he “believes in being loving with [his] kids,” despite having to be “stern about stuff,” sometimes. There is no getting around it with kids, according to the Godfather actor. I dislike having to enforce the law and other things of that nature. ”.
“But sometimes you just don’t have a choice, and I imagine any parent would agree.

The venerable actor, who had been married to Grace Hightower for 20 years, filed for divorce in 2018, and since then, several women have been romantically linked to him. The two were reportedly seen holding hands in July 2022, according to The Sun, and he was most recently rumored to be dating martial arts instructor Tiffany Chen. Drena, 51, and Raphael, 46, are the two children De Niro has with his ex-wife Diahnne Abbott. His second wife Grace is the mother of two more children, Elliot, 25, and Helen, 11.
With Toukie Smith, the actor also shares 27-year-old twin sons Aaron and Julian. De Niro’s attorney claimed in 2021 that he was “forced to work” despite his advanced age in order to support his ex-wife’s lavish lifestyle.
According to Caroline Krauss, De Niro’s attorney, Grace Hightower has “a thirst for Stella McCartney” and even purchased a $1 million+ diamond ring, according to Page Six. De Niro reportedly reduced Grace’s monthly credit card limit from $100,000 to $50,000 in an effort to curb her spending, according to Business Insider. “Mr. De Niro is 77 years old, and while he loves his work, he shouldn’t have to work at this fast a pace just because he has to, Krauss told a Manhattan judge in a virtual divorce hearing in 2021, according to Page Six.
“When does that stop? When does he get the chance to not take every project that comes along and not put in six-day work weeks and 12-hour days so he can keep up with Ms. Hightower’s insatiable desire for Stella McCartney?” she continued. “The party would be over if he became ill tomorrow. Whatever else he may be, I think we can all agree that Robert De Niro has shown himself to be a caring and devoted father. Greetings to the actor on the arrival of his seventh child, please!
