It's been announced that Robert De Niro recently welcomed his seventh child just months away from his 80th birthday, with the news shared by him this week.
The actor, 79, announced the arrival of his newborn baby in an interview to promote his upcoming film About My Father, when he was asked about having six children.
He however corrected the interviewer, saying: "Seven, actually." The Academy Award winner then confirmed that he had welcomed another child, saying: "I just had a baby".
Robert is rumoured to be dating martial arts instructor Tiffany Chen, according to PageSix. It remains unconfirmed whether she is the mother of his newborn baby though.
Robert's eldest kids are Drena, 51, and Raphael, 46, whom she shares with his first wife Diahnne Abbott. He shares twins Julian and Aaron, 27, with his ex-partner Toukie Smith.
