A proud father-of-seven! Robert De Niro<\/strong> revealed his brood just got bigger.<\/p>\n The revelation was made in an interview published on Monday, May 8, when the A-lister was asked about his \u201csix kids,\u201d leading De Niro to clarify: \u201cSeven, actually. I just had a baby.\u201d<\/p>\n A rep for the Taxi Driver<\/em> actor then confirmed Tuesday, May 9, that he is now a dad to seven, though neither the rep nor De Niro revealed the identity of the child\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n It also remains unclear at this time when exactly the baby was born and the gender of the newborn.<\/p>\n Despite keeping his baby mama\u2019s identity hidden, De Niro\u2019s current girlfriend, Tiffany Chen<\/strong>, flaunted her baby bump last month while on a dinner date. De Niro and the martial arts instructor were first linked in 2021 and later spotted together celebrating his 78th birthday in France.<\/p>\n The Oscar winner and Chen worked together on the 2005 film The Intern<\/em>.<\/p>\n De Niro became a first-time father back in 1971 when he and then-wife Diahnne<\/strong> Abbott<\/strong> welcomed daughter Drena<\/strong>, now 51. The now-exes also share son Raphael<\/strong>, 46.<\/p>\n He also is dad to 27-year-old twins Julian<\/strong> and Aaron<\/strong>, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Toukie Smith<\/strong>, as well as son Elliot<\/strong>, 25, and daughter Helen<\/strong>, 11, whom he shares with ex-wife Grace Hightower<\/strong>.<\/p>\n De Niro and Hightower divorced in 2018 after more than two decades of marriage.<\/p>\n Though De Niro is known as one of the best actors of all time, he comically admitted during his interview that he doesn\u2019t really consider himself to be a \u201ccool\u201d dad \u2014 and his kids agree.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m OK,\u201d he quipped. \u201cYou know, my kids disagree with me at times, and they\u2019re respectful. My daughter, she\u2019s 11, she gives me grief sometimes and I argue with her. I adore her, but, you know. And my youngest now, that\u2019ll be more to come. But that\u2019s what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n He also opened up about parenthood back in April 2019, telling Us Weekly at the time that while is certainly is \u201cnot easy,\u201d it is \u201cfun\u201d sometimes.<\/p>\n \u201cYou love your kids, and sometimes you want to kill them!\u201d De Niro joked, \u201cThen, when you have the good moments, you forget about the ones that weren\u2019t good.\u201d<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for the <\/strong><\/em>OK!<\/strong><\/em><\/a> newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what OK! has to offer.
