Robert De Niro has just welcomed his seventh child at the age of 79.
The Hollywood star announced the news that he had welcomed a new baby in an interview with ET Canada while announcing his upcoming comedy film About My Father.
“I mean, there’s no way around it with kids. I don’t like to have to lay down the law and stuff like that. But, [sometimes] you just have no choice,” he explained. “And any parent, I think, would say the same thing. You always want to do the right thing by the children and give them the benefit of the doubt but sometimes you can’t.”
When the interviewer asked De Niro about his six children, he corrected, “Seven, actually.”
De Niro shares two children with his first wife Diahnne Abbott, Drena and Raphael – and two children from his second marriage to actress Grace Hightower called Elliot and Helen. As well as 27-year-old twins Aaron and Julian, whom he shares with former partner Toukie Smith.He also has four grandchildren.
