At the age of 79, Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro has another challenging role: He’s now the father of a newborn baby for the seventh time.
His representatives confirmed the baby’s arrival but didn’t identify the child’s mother.
The ages of De Niro’s children now range from oldest, Drena, 51, and Raphael, 46, both of whom are shared with Diahnne Abbott, E! News reported.
Drena was Abbott’s daughter, whom De Niro adopted, Us Weekly reported.
He also has Aaron and Julian, 27-year-old twin sons that he had with Toukie Smith.
Elliot, 25, and Helen, 11, were born during his marriage to Grace Hightower. The couple filed for divorce in 2018 after they were together for more than 20 years.
In addition to being a new dad once again, De Niro is also a grandfather to a 19-year-old and three other grandchildren, Us Weekly reported.
