Robert De Niro reveals the name and gender of his newborn baby with Tiffany Chen

Robert De Niro said this Tuesday, May 9: at 79-years-old, the actor became a father for the seventh time. An announcement that made the effect of a bomb because of the age of the actor. But what also intrigued many, is that he has no official companion to date.

However, 'clues' put forward by several media suggest that the mother of the baby is a certain Tiffany Chen, a martial arts teacher. Robert De Niro met her in 2015 on the set of the film The Intern. At the time, he was not single, the actor had been married to Grace Hightower since 1997.

Tiffany Chen and Robert de Niro are not very discreet

To date, neither Robert De Niro nor Tiffany Chen have officially confirmed their relationship. But they are not hiding either, as reported by Daily Mail in 2021. Six years after their first meeting, they were seen hand in hand on the French Riviera, joining a group of friends aboard a luxury yacht. Photos of them kissing were also captured by the tabloid.

At that time, the Hollywood star had just separated from his ex-wife. A stormy divorce with legal battles blurs all contact between De Niro and Hightower.

Tiffany Chen spotted with a round belly earlier this year

In March 2023, the duo is once again seen together. They were leaving a posh restaurant in Santa Monica. A detail was unnoticed at the time but makes sense today. It is what looks like a baby bump, carefully hidden under Tiffany Chen's grey cardigan.

We can agree on the fact that a woman with a rounded belly is not always pregnant, but in this particular case, it could have been a baby bump.

Covered with a beige cloth and a pink bodysuit, the little baby looks more like his mother.
