Robert De Niro has welcomed another child, making him a father of seven children.
The 79-year-old first broke the news during an interview with ET Canada while speaking about his new film, About My Father.
"I know you have six kids," ET Canada's Brittnee Blair said.
"Seven, actually. I just had a baby," De Niro quickly corrected.
The Godfather star revealed he doesn’t consider himself a “cool dad,” despite Sebastian Maniscalo, who portrays De Niro’s son in the film, calling his character Salvo a cool dad.
“I’m OK,” he told Blair.
“You know, my kids disagree with me at times, and they’re respectful. My daughter, she’s 11, she gives me grief sometimes and I argue with her. I adore her, but, you know," De Niro said.
"And my youngest now, that’ll be more to come. But, that’s what it is.”
A representative for De Niro also confirmed the birth to The Associated Press on Tuesday.
They said no other details or statement were expected, including the name of the mother.
The Oscar winner has been married twice.
De Niro and his first wife, Diahnne Abbott, are parents to a daughter, Drena, 51, and a son, Raphael, 46.
He also shares a son, Elliot, 24, and a daughter, Helen Grace, 11, from his second marriage to his former wife Grace Hightower.
In 1995, he welcomed twins Julian and Aaron, 27, with his former girlfriend Toukie Smith.
De Niro is currently promoting the new comedy, About My Father, which will be released on May 26.
He is a two-time Oscar winner for his supporting role in The Godfather: Part II and as best actor in Raging Bull.
In 2011, he was also honoured with the Golden Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award for his impact on the world of entertainment and awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom from then-president Barack Obama five years later.
