AceShowbiz - Renowned actor Robert De Niro, now a father of seven, has stepped out with his girlfriend Tiffany Chen for a star-studded date at the Tribeca Film Festival's Artist Dinner in New York City.
The 80-year-old De Niro, known for his iconic roles in "The Godfather: Part II" and "Raging Bull", made a stylish appearance alongside Chen, who wore a figure-hugging black dress with a sheer shawl. The couple smiled and waved for photographers as they arrived at the event.
De Niro and Chen welcomed their daughter Gia in April 2023, making him one of the oldest fathers on record and marking his sixth child at the time. The actor has since embraced the joys of fatherhood once again, describing Gia as "pure joy" and a source of comfort.
Despite the significant age difference between his oldest child, 52-year-old Drena, and his youngest, Gia, De Niro has expressed pride in his large and diverse family. His grandchildren, some of whom are younger than Gia, share the same enthusiasm for their new baby aunt.
De Niro's previous children include Raphael (47), Julian and Aaron (28), Elliot (26), and Helen Grace (12). He adopted Drena from his first wife's previous relationship.
The actor has remained a private figure despite his fame, but he has opened up about the perspective that fatherhood has brought him. "She's the only one who loves me, no condition, no nothing," De Niro said of Gia. "I want to be around for as long as I can to enjoy it, enjoy her."
De Niro and Chen's appearance at the Tribeca Festival comes as the festival prepares to host a special convention titled "De Niro Con," celebrating the legendary actor's career. The convention will showcase screenings of his classic films and feature other De Niro-themed events.
The actor continues to balance his public and private life, enjoying family moments while attending exclusive gatherings. Robert De Niro and Tiffany Chen's relationship and De Niro's journey as a father continue to capture the hearts of fans worldwide.
