ROBERT DE NIRO FATHER OF A SEVENTH CHILD GIA VIRGINIA
Robert De Niro recently welcomed his seventh child. The news was revealed during an interview with ET Canada. The 79-year-old actor gave an interview to ET Canada on the occasion of the release of About My Father, a feature film by Laura Terruso. The film in which he plays Salvo, an Italian-American father, will be released in the United States very soon. The subject of paternity has rightly been broached. While the Canadian journalist was talking to her about her six children, Robert de Niro hastened to correct the information. "Seven, actually. I just had a baby," he revealed. But it was not until Thursday, May 11, 2023 that the Oscar-winning actor decided to lift the veil on this mysterious newborn, during an intervention on the CBS Morning program. Showing the first public photo of the newcomer, De Niro said it was a baby girl born on April 6 and named Gia Virginia (the first name is a tribute to her mother, who died in 2000). The show confirmed who the baby's mother is: martial arts expert Tiffany Chen, whom De Niro was often seen with after his long and tormented romance with ex-wife Grace Hightower ended. Page Six and other outlets reported that his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, who had shown a baby bump on private outings in recent weeks, recently gave birth. The couple have known each other since 2015 but would only be together since 2021, three years after the actor's divorce from Grace Hightower. The child's mother would be Tiffany Cheng, Robert de Niro's supposed companion since 2021. A professional Tai-chi athlete, they met on the set of the film "The New Intern". The 45-year-old was then the martial arts teacher for the feature film team. De Niro, who is 79, has had six more children with three women over the past 35 years. The eldest is Drena, 51, whom De Niro adopted when he married his mother, Diahnne Abbott, in 1976. De Niro also had Raphael, 46, with Diahnne Abbott. He had twins, Aaron and Julian, 27, with actress and model Toukie Smith, then two children with his second ex-wife, Grace Hightower: Elliot, 25, and Helen, 11. Actor since the 1960s, the actor with two Oscars is expected at the next Cannes Film Festival to present the film "Killers of the Flower Moon" alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese.
