When Robert De Niro was asked in an interview about being a dad to 6 kids, he piped up with a correction: 'Seven, actually. I just had a baby.'
Robert De Niro is a new dad, for the seventh time, at age 79.
The Oscar-winning actor revealed that he’s welcomed a new child into the world in a Monday interview with ET Canada, promoting his appropriately named film About My Father.
When De Niro was asked in the interview about being a dad to six kids, he piped up with a correction.
“Seven, actually,” he said. “I just had a baby.”
It’s unclear who the mother of his seventh child is, though numerous outlets have speculated that it could be Tiffany Chen, a professional martial artist. The pair has never publicly confirmed a relationship after first sparking dating rumours in 2021.
The Godfather actor shared some of his experiences with fatherhood, saying he doesn’t think he’s a “cool dad.”
“You know, my kids disagree with me at times, and they’re respectful. My daughter, she’s 11, she gives me grief sometimes and I argue with her,” he said. “I adore her, but you know.”
De Niro added that there will likely be more adolescent angst in his life with baby number seven.
