Robert De Niro became a father for the seventh time, in April of this year, with his girlfriend Tiffany Chen, 45 years old. The news caused a stir in the middle of the show, due to his age as he became a father again and the arrival of Giahis seventh daughter.
De Niro revealed in an interview in which he opens up about fatherhood and the prospect of not seeing his daughter Gia grow up, which is something he has very much in mind. As he explains very naturally, now he can no longer think in terms of the future because the only thing he is assured of is the present.
“Of course I think about death, at my age… It’s not going to stop me, but I think about it… I’m aware of it. You think more about time. Every summer, every new season, every thing, you say: ‘Well, I’m going to take advantage of these summer months to be with my children, with my family.’ “I can’t wait until next time, I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
He The birth of his daughter Gia has not altered his routine too much because he himself recognizes that his role is limited to offering support to his partner and enjoying everything possible.
“Having children doesn’t get easier as time goes by. It is what it is. No problem. I don’t do the hard work. I’m there, I support my girlfriend. But she does the hard work. And we have help, which is very important,” she acknowledged in his statements to The Guardian.
The actor of ‘Taxi Driver’, ‘The Godfather’, Robert De Nirowas interviewed a few months ago by reporters from ET Canada about his film (All About My Father) where the artist confessed that he is a dad again.
When asked what his love language is, the actor told journalist Brittnee Blair that he believes “in being loving with his children,” even though sometimes he has to “be harsh about things.”
“I mean, there’s no way around it with kids. I don’t like having to lay down the law and things like that. But, sometimes you just have no choice,” De Niro explained. “And any parent, I think, would say the same thing. “You always want to do the right thing for kids and give them the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes you can’t.”
