The visit not only delighted his young daughter but also offered a rare glimpse into the softer, more playful side of the veteran actor’s parenting journey in his later years.

Robert De Niro calls Gia 'pure joy' as he embraces fatherhood in his 80s

De Niro, who shares daughter Gia with his girlfriend Tiffany Chen, has spoken candidly about becoming a father again in his 80s. “Gia is just pure joy,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “She’s two now, so as I get older and older — you know. But it’s still always wonderful. Pure joy. What can I say?”

The couple met in 2015 on the set of 'The Intern' and made their relationship public in 2021. They have been going strong ever since. Gia, born in April 2023, is De Niro’s seventh child.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, as reported by PEOPLE, De Niro shared how committed he is to raising Gia with a strong sense of her cultural roots. “[She is] half-Chinese. I want to try to teach her Chinese and show her nursery rhymes in English and Chinese,” he said. “I’m trying to have her learn both.”

Internet can’t get enough of Robert De Niro and Gia’s adorable moment with The Wiggles

Fans quickly flooded the comments section of The Wiggles’ Instagram post, celebrating the heartwarming moment shared between Robert De Niro, his daughter Gia, and the beloved children’s entertainers.

“The best! 🙌🏼 A true gentleman and what a beautiful family they are. ❤️” one admirer wrote. While another simply added, “So special!!”

The unexpected crossover also sparked playful reactions, with one fan joking, “The Godfather meets The Wiggles?”

Others kept it sweet and simple with notes like “Love this” and “Aww how cool🩵."

Robert De Niro opens up about parenting seven children

In addition to Gia, De Niro is a father to six other children from previous relationships. He shares Drena and Raphael with his first wife, Diahnne Abbott; twins Julian and Aaron (also spelled Airyn) with former girlfriend Toukie Smith; and Elliot and Helen Grace with his second wife, Grace Hightower.

Earlier this year, De Niro publicly expressed his support for his daughter Aaron, who came out as transgender.

“There’s certain things you can do and certain things you can’t do, but the main thing is to support your kids,” he said. “As long as they’re not hurting themselves, doing anything destructive or anything like that, you have to support them. Period.”

De Niro’s recent public appearances with Gia continue to show a tender, engaged side of the legendary actor. Decades after first becoming a father, he remains deeply present — this time embracing the joy and wonder of parenting a toddler. For De Niro, this chapter isn’t just about second chances; it’s about treasuring every small, joy-filled moment.
