Robert De Niro ‘wants to avoid marriage like the plague'
The 46-year-old gave birth to De Niro’s seventh child, Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro, in April 2023. Now, sources claim she’s hoping to make their relationship official.
"Everyone knows Tiffany wants to get married and has been pushing for it to happen ever since Gia was born," a source told Radar Online.
"It’s no surprise to him that Tiffany wants to tie the knot, it keeps coming up in their conversations. But he’s holding off until she accepts what he considers 'an offer she can’t refuse,' in the form of a prenup agreement," said the source.
However, De Niro is reluctant to formalize the relationship. "He wants to avoid marriage like the plague," the insider continued.
"He loves Tiffany and their little family, there’s no question about that, but he’s nervous about jinxing the relationship by putting it into a formal bracket. He’s not going to do it, and when his mind’s made up, that’s it," added the insider per the publication.
Robert De Niro ‘won’t be anybody’s stooge’ after past financial battles
De Niro is still dealing with the financial repercussions of a lawsuit in 2023.
He was ordered to pay $1.26 million in damages to his former assistant Graham Chase Robinson, after a jury found his production company liable for gender discrimination and retaliation.
The actor is also bitter about the costly divorces from his ex-wives, Diahnne Abbott and Grace Hightower.
The insider explained, "He likes things the way they are, with him in control of his finances."
"Getting married and being on the hook for half of what he’s earned is not something he wants. He won’t be anybody’s stooge," the source told the publication.
Though De Niro has promised Chen that he will always support her and be there for her and Gia, he reportedly has no intention of risking his financial stability.

"Bob's comments that he wants to make Gia a rich little girl have stirred up a hornet's nest with the rest of the family," the source revealed.
The insider added: "Bob is in reasonably good health, but he knows it's not likely he'll still be around when Gia graduates from high school, so the best he feels he can do for her is make sure she never wants for anything in her life."

"He sees it as Gia didn't ask to be born to an elderly father, so he wants her to have a bigger share of his inheritance," source told RadarOnline.
