Recently, Robert De Niro made a remarkable proclamation on TV: he had become a father for the seventh time at the age of 79. Although, the identity of the mother, the exact date of birth and the gender of the baby were all unknown. But, during an appearance on CBS Morning, the Oscar-winning actor has finally disclosed all the mysteries. He presented a picture of the newborn and disclosed her name is Gia Virginia, in honor of his late mother who passed away in 2000. Subsequently, it was revealed that the mother is martial arts expert Tiffany Chen, who had been spotted with De Niro in 2015, on the set of the film The Intern, when he was still married to Grace Hightower. Then, in 2021, they were photographed in Europe on a yacht with their friends. Finally, in April 2023, a month before the actor made the public announcement, they were seen in Los Angeles. According to Robert, the birth of Gia Virginia was planned and he and his partner Tiffany were “in seventh heaven” when she was born. The actor has six other children from three different women. From his first wife, Diahnne Abbott, he has Drena, 51, and Raphael, 46 (the first, born from a previous relationship of Abbott, was adopted by the actor). Then in 1995, from the relationship with the model and actress Toukie Smith, the twins Julian and Aaron, 27, were born. Finally, there are Elliot, 24, and Helen Grace, 11, the result of his marriage to Grace Hightower. At 79, Robert De Niro is now a father for the seventh time and it is clear that he enjoys the job of being a father. It is no surprise that he is “in seventh heaven” with the arrival of Gia Virginia.
