Robert De Niro has his seventh child at 79
American actor Robert De Niro has revealed that he has become a father to his seventh child, just months before his 80th birthday, according to sources.
According to the Mirror, De Niro, 79, shared the news in a recent interview whilst he was promoting his upcoming comedy film About My Father, which is set to be released later this month.
He was asked during the interview about being a father-of-six, with interviewer Brittnee Blair saying: “I know you have six kids.” Robert, however, corrected her about his family.
The Academy Award winner commented: “Seven, actually.” He subsequently confirmed: “I just had a baby”.
It, however, remains unclear who he welcomed the baby with.
He shared the news with ET Canada and a spokesperson for the actor has confirmed the news to the Mirror.
Robert shares his eldest two children with his first wife Diahnne Abbott. The former couple – who were married from 1976 to 1988 – are parents to Drena, 51, and Raphael, 46.
He shares twin sons Julian and Aaron, 27, with his former partner Toukie Smith. They are understood to have been in a relationship from around 1988 until they separated in 1996.
Robert shares son Elliot, 25, and daughter Helen, 11, with fellow actor Grace Hightower. Robert and Grace got married in 1997 and reportedly separated in around 2018.
