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.
