Robert De Niro now has a septet of children. When an interviewer mentioned De Niro’s “six kids” recently, the two-time Oscar winner had a late-breaking update: “Seven, actually.”
“I just had a baby,” De Niro added in the ET Canada interview, which was published online on Monday.
There’s no word on the newborn’s name or age or the partner with whom he became a dad again.
The “Raging Bull” star has six other kids with three former partners, per People. With his first wife, Diahnne Abbott, he has daughter Drena, 51, and son Raphael, 46. With ex-girlfriend Toukie Smith he has twin sons Julian and Aaron, 27. And with his second wife, Grace Hightower, he has son Elliot, 24, and daughter Helen, 11.
De Niro co-stars with comedian Sebastian Maniscalo in the new film “About My Father,” due for release on May 26. He plays Salvo, an old-school Italian immigrant based on Maniscalo’s real-life dad. De Niro tells ET Canada he’s not a “cool dad” like his character in the comedy film.
“I’m okay,” he said. “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. And my youngest now, that’ll be more to come. But that’s what it is.”
He also said there’s “no way around” laying down the law with his kids from time to time. “And any parent, I think, would say the same thing,” he added. “You always want to do the right thing by the children and give them the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes, you can’t.”
Talking to People in 2020, De Niro said he doesn’t care if his kids follow him into acting or not, as long as they’re happy.

My condolences to the baby and to the momma, especially the baby.
That’s weird. I thought he was just fat.
Idiot of the highest order.
Think he will teach the child how to play catch?
Some woman was pretty desperate for that stream of income. Poor kid.
What a ya know....7.....same as his IQ
What a selfish irresponsible prick
“has six other kids with three former partners”
Damn.......he think he plays in the NBA?
Roger that! With any luck, he may not be around long enough to influence the kid.
Nah he’s just gonna teach the kid to hate Trump..probably from the moment the kid came out of the womb De Niro told him “Trump sucks”
But the man can flat-out act. I don't care how leftist he is, I ain't giving up his movies.
He gave birth did he?
He’ll be 97 years old when he attends the graduation ceremony from High School, but hopefully he won’t be making movies anymore.
Baby momma will get a good payday.
Someone else will raise him. God is merciful.
Bet she talks him out of a DNA test $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Does anyone know who the father is?
Gosh, hope it's not Hunter...
Well, if all of us were to decide who we like, or what movies and TV to see based on actor’s politics, there would be very few any of us would see.
