Robert De Niro and Tiffany Chen attend first public event together since daughter's birth

Robert De Niro was joined by his partner Tiffany Chen at the Cannes Film Festival this weekend to celebrate the premiere of his latest project Killers of the Flower Moon.

The annual film festival is believed to have marked the actor, 79, and his partner's first public event together since having welcomed their newborn daughter Gia last month.

The couple were attended the premiere of his new film on Saturday (May 20) alongside some of his co-stars including Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone and Jesse Plemons.

Robert and Tiffany were also spotted at a party yesterday - hosted by Vanity Fair and Prada - as part of the festival, which is understood to have been after the premiere.

He appeared to be wearing the same suit that he had showcased during the premiere, whilst Tiffany instead was seen wearing a black dress underneath a matching jacket.

Their visit to the annual festival in France comes following the birth of their daughter Gia last month. Robert announced the new arrival whilst promoting his film About My Father.

It was later shared that he'd welcomed his daughter with martial arts instructor Tiffany, whom he's said to have met working on the film The Intern, which was released in 2015.

Gayle King, 68, shared the newborn's name on CBS Mornings earlier this month, revealing the couple had chosen to name their daughter Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro.

The broadcaster told viewers that she had spoken to Robert prior to the episode and a photo of his baby was subsequently shared. Gayle also discussed the new arrival.

She said: "[Gia] weighed eight pounds and six ounces when she was born on April 6. [Robert] and his partner, that's Tiffany Chen, are over the moon about this little girl."

Robert had announced the birth of his seventh child during an interview with ET Canada earlier this month whilst promoting his upcoming comedy film About My Father.

He shared the news after the interviewer had said to him: "I know you have six kids." Robert corrected them by revealing: "Seven, actually." He then added: "I just had a baby".

The actor shares his eldest two children with his first wife Diahnne Abbott. The former couple - who were married from 1976 until 1988 - are parents to Drena, 51, and Raphael, 46.

He has twin sons Julian and Aaron, 27, with his former partner Toukie Smith. They're understood to have been in a relationship from around 1988 until they separated in 1996.

And he shares son Elliot, 25, and daughter Helen, 11, with fellow actor Grace Hightower. The former couple got married in 1997 but later reportedly separated in around 2018.
