Hollywood legend Robert De Niro unexpectedly announced in an interview: "I'm a dad again." Although his oldest child is over half a hundred years old, De Niro is still full of fatherly love, proving that fatherhood has no time limit.
When he promoted his new film, About My Father, a reporter asked him what it was like to be a father of six, and De Niro corrected the reporter's misconception, telling him he had seven children.
He welcomed the new life, but did not reveal the child's gender or name. The motherhood of the child remains unconfirmed.
However, recent reports have linked him to a martial arts instructor named Tiffany Chan, who was seen holding hands in 2022. In March, photos of Chen becoming pregnant in California attracted public attention.
As a father, De Niro was hands-on. In the interview, he was asked about his attitude towards his children, saying he believed in "love" but also noted that sometimes things have to be "treated harshly."
He further explained: "I mean, kids can't handle some issues. I don't like things like making rules. But, [sometimes] you have no choice. He added: "You always want to make the right decisions for your children, give them the benefit of doubt, but sometimes you have to be firm. ”
De Niro, who is also a grandfather, shared his opinion that one of the best things a parent or grandparent can do is encourage children to pursue their ideals and ambitions.
"For my kids, I tell them, 'If you want to be an actor, or you want to pursue any profession, as long as you're happy,'" he said. Just don't betray yourself. He also firmly believes that "it's very important for them to find their own path." ”
De Niro's good news shows that fatherhood continues infinitely, and that the role and responsibility of fatherhood are always important, regardless of age. His steadfastness and support for his children make people deeply admire and believe that the father's love is eternal.
