At 79 years old, he's decided to shake things up and add another baby to his brood of six. Because why not, right? Who needs sleep and sanity when you can have more babies?
In a recent interview, De Niro casually dropped the bombshell that he's now a father of seven. When the interviewer mentioned his existing offspring – Drena, Raphael, Julian, Elliot, Aaron, and Helen – De Niro nonchalantly corrected her, "Seven actually ... I just had a baby."
TMZ reported that Robert, who's ironically promoting his latest flick, "About My Father," seemed to breeze right past the huge news, especially for a guy his age. Instead, he went on to chat about fatherhood, saying he doesn't see himself as a cool pop ... and adding he disagrees with his kiddos from time to time, especially the younger ones.
As you know, Robert's tied the knot and gotten divorced 2 times -- once with Diahnne Abbott, and another with Grace Hightower. It's unclear who gave birth to baby #7.
However, in March he was seen out with rumored GF, Tiffany Chen, and as they made their way to their car you can hear someone say, "Hey guys, c'mon, she's pregnant."
Clearly, De Niro is a living testament to the fact that you can still make drastic life changes in your twilight years, like taking up skydiving or joining a death metal band. Or, you know, having a baby.
Because what's more responsible than bringing a new life into the world when you're almost 80 and already have six other kids to raise? It's not like there are any potential health risks for the child or anything. Nope, everything is just peachy keen in De Niro's world.
