Robert DeNiro Talks About Being An 80-Year-Old Dad To 9-Month Old Daughter [Video]

Robert DeNiro is a dad of seven. At the age of 80, the actor is the father of a 9-month-old baby girl.

De Niro opened up about his baby daughter Gia, whom he shares with girlfriend Tiffany Chen, during an interview with AARP The Magazine.

“I’m an 80-year-old dad ,and it’s great,” he said. “Everything that I’m consumed with or worried about or this and that just goes away when I look at her. So that in itself, is, you know, wondrous.”

“She has a very sweet way of looking at you and just taking you in, and my other daughter Helen had that too, she just looks at you and takes it in … I don’t know where it’s gonna go later when she gets older, but she’s thinking, she’s observing everything and watching, really interesting.”

The Academy Award-winning actor is also a father to six other children: Drena De Niro, 52, and Raphael De Niro, 47, whom he shares with ex-wife Diahnne Abbott; twin sons Julian De Niro and Aaron De Niro, 28, whom he shares with former girlfriend Toukie Smith; and Elliot De Niro, 25, and Helen Grace De Niro, 12, whom he shares with ex-wife Grace Hightower, ABC News reported.

In a previous interview with ET last year, De Niro talked about being a father to seven. “You know, my kids disagree with me at times, and they’re respectful,” he explained. “My daughter, she’s 11, she gives me grief sometimes, and I argue with her. I adore her, but, you know. And my youngest now, [Gia], that’ll be more to come. But, that’s what it is.”
