Robert De Niro has recently welcomed his seventh child. He is busy in the promotions of his upcoming film About My Father, and while speaking to ET Canada on May 9, 2023, he revealed that he is now a father of seven kids. He has tied the knot twice throughout his life. The update about the newest baby came when interviewer Brittnee Blair said that he has six kids.
In response, De Niro revealed that he recently had another baby, adding:
“I mean, there’s no way around it with kids. I don’t like to have to lay down the law and stuff like that. But, [sometimes] you just have no choice.”
De Niro continued by saying that just like him, any parent would like to do the right thing for their kids by giving them the "benefit of the doubt." The actor’s representative confirmed that although he has welcomed another child, detailed information about the child’s mother is not available.
