Robert De Niro, 81, reveals he ‘tries his best’ to be a good father to his seven children but admits ‘family is complex’ in rare comment about his private life
Robert De Niro openly shares that he strives hard to be an excellent father to his seven kids, yet acknowledges that family dynamics can often be intricate and challenging.
Over the weekend, the 81-year-old actor opened up in an unusual interview about aspects of his personal life that are typically kept private.
Robert often spends time with his 19-month-old daughter, Gia, who is currently in the care of his girlfriend, skilled martial artist Tiffany Chen.
In addition to being well-known for his role in The Godfather, he also has a family of eight. He shares Drena, aged 56, and Raphael, 47, with his former partner Diahnne Abbott. His children Elliot, 25, and Helen, 12, are with his ex-wife Grace Hightower. Furthermore, he has twins Aaron and Julian, both 28 years old, from a previous relationship with Toukie Smith.
Currently, he shared with The Times that if any of his children were asked to define him, they’d all give distinct responses.
Robert mentioned, “Family can be quite intricate. As their father, I strive hardest, that’s what matters most. I wish them nothing but happiness.
He shared that his mornings are spent enjoying time with his 19-month-old daughter Gia. He often watches educational content from YouTube creator Ms. Rachel together with her, and he also feeds her a bottle during this time.
In February, Robert couldn’t stop expressing his delight over the latest member of his household, Gia, and the ‘happiness’ she has brought into his life.
He finds his newborn to be incredibly charming and sweet. When gazing upon her, all other distractions disappear, leaving him with immense pleasure and tranquility, simply enjoying her presence at the moment.
His elder children ‘all get a big kick out of her,’ he explained.
‘The grandkids even. She’s their aunt— [and] they’re about to be teenagers!’ he added.
Raphael is a father of three and Drena’s son Leandro De Niro Rodriguez died at age 19 last year.
Robert similarly expressed his deep appreciation for family get-togethers, stating, “Being with them all is everything I cherish most.
In May 2023, Robert announced he has recently welcomed a baby with his girlfriend Tiffany.
Speaking to Page Six, the New York native revealed that the pregnancy, being his second time as a father, had been intentionally arranged.
1. In response to being asked if he was excited, the actor said, ‘I’m just as fine with it,’ which is similar to saying, ‘I’m good with it.’
2. When asked if becoming a parent ever becomes less challenging, Taxi Driver humorously responded, ‘It never gets any simpler.’
During an interview with ET Canada, De Niro revealed unexpectedly that he had expanded his family in an unexpected way. When asked about being a dad to six kids, he shared the fresh news.
When he mentioned that he actually had seven kids instead of six, he also disclosed that he had just added a new baby to his family.
‘I just had a baby,’ he said.
He did not share the name of the baby or the gender at the time of the interview.
In the year 2015, it’s believed that Tiffany and Robert crossed paths for the first time while collaborating on the movie titled “The Intern.
In the movie, Anne Hathaway took on the role of a hardworking CEO, while Robert was an experienced intern within her corporation.
Tiffany had a small role as a Tai Chi instructor who helps out Robert’s character.
In August 2021, Robert was seen holidaying with Tiffany in the Southern region of France; they were enjoying their time together.
It was clear that the couple were in love, since they were spotted walking hand-in-hand under the sunlight, and later, they shared a passionate kiss on a boat.
In addition, they were spotted together in New York City during June and visited the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa on the 31st of July, as images of these events surfaced on social networks, only to be removed afterwards.
During that period, the actor famously known as Raging Bull was embroiled in a contentious divorce dispute with his former spouse, Grace Hightower.
Back in April 2022, a court decision was made stating that one former spouse would be entitled to a yearly sum of $1 million, while both parties agreed to divide the earnings once they sell their joint property, valued at approximately $20 million.
