Robert De Niro, 80, shared a smile with his social media followers as he posed with his new daughter, 10-month-old Gia. The legendary actor parented baby Gia with his partner, film producer and martial arts instructor Tiffany Chen. The two tend to keep a low-profile relationship and went public in 2021.
De Niro said he sees “a lot of similarity” between his younger self and his new daughter. Reminiscing on an old picture of him and his father, he told People, “It reminds me of my two youngest little girls… I see it also in one of my grandkids.”
The father of seven could not contain his joy about being a dad again. “The fact that they’d all be together is everything to me,” he said.
De Niro’s six other children are: Drena, 56, and Raphael, 47, whom he had with his first wife Diahnne Abbott (Drina is adopted from Diahannes’ previous marriage); twins Julian and Aaron,...

Living screen legend Robert De Niro became uncharacteristically verklempt while discussing his newborn daughter in an interview this week, telling AARP that parenting his baby girl is “wondrous.”
“I’m an 80-year-old dad and it’s great,” De Niro told the magazine for its latest cover story. “Everything that I’m consumed with or worried about… this and that… just goes away when I look at her.”
At that point in the sit-down, which mostly covered De Niro’s seven-decade-spanning career, working with Martin Scorsese and their latest, the Oscar-nominated Killers of the Flower Moon, the veteran actor and nine-time Oscar contender began to tear up. “That in itself is wondrous.”
De Niro, traditionally affable but solidly stoic while discussing his life and work, then quickly composed himself as he shared details about his growing bond with his baby girl; he even compared the experience to time with the daughter...

As a father to six kids and a grandfather to four, Robert De Niro says the best parenting advice he can offer is to tell your kids to reach for the stars.
“For my kids, I tell them, ‘If you want to be an actor or you want to do this or that, that’s fine as long as you’re happy. Just don’t sell yourself short.’ That’s the most I would say — push yourself a little more and reach for what you really think it is you want to do. Don’t be afraid,” says De Niro...

Family has always come first for Robert, even though his parents — painters Robert De Niro Sr. and Virginia Admiral — divorced when he was only two years old. His dad came out as gay, and the family remained close; when Robert Sr. was stricken with cancer, Virginia cared for him,...
