The first child of the acting legend is already 51 years old.

Robert De Niro is looking forward to the joys of fatherhood again, as he became a father for the seventh time at the age of 79. Not much can be known about the "latest De Niro", as the actor did not reveal the details.

In any case, this is the seventh child of the Oscar-winning artist; Drena is already 51, Raphael (46), Julian and Aaron (27), Elliot (24) and Helen Grace (11).

De Niro, who is also a grandfather, said the best thing a parent or grandparent can do is encourage their children to achieve their dreams.

“If you want to be an actor or do anything else, that's fine as long as it makes you happy. Just don't underestimate yourself!"

De Niro told People magazine in January 2020.

“That's the most I would say - push yourself a little harder and achieve what you really think you want to do. Do not be afraid!"

The actor also added:

"It's important that they find their own way."
