View this post on Instagram A post shared by Your Daily Dose of De Niro (@robertdenirodaily) Since welcoming his daughter into the world, Robert De Niro has embraced every opportunity to spend precious moments with her, and he doesn’t hesitate to post such moments on social media for his fans, who always have kind words for baby Gia but never minced words to show their disapproval for the action of the father-of-seven. "This is wrong on so many levels," a fan wrote. "Not fair for child, they will never spend time together," another person stated. "Selfish old man." "What a selfish thing to do, old fool," someone else commented while a user wrote, "That's insane to make a baby that old, I feel bad for the lil one who won't really know his dad bc he will be passed by the time he's he starts school..unless he lives to 100 or better but still what kind of relationship would they have." Instagram "Just because you can (keep producing kids) doesn't mean you should. Lucky kid, hey?" read another comment while another fan piqued, "Always loved Deniro, but come on, Robert. Why would you have a kid at 80 just when he needs a father you won't be around." Despite the barrage of criticisms from his fans, De Niro remains hopeful of spending time with his daughter. In a recent interview featured in AARP's February/March cover story, the acclaimed actor delved into his thoughts on aging and fatherhood with intricate detail. He candidly expressed a deep sense of anticipation and joy regarding his role as a parent despite not having much time left to spend with baby Gia due to his age. Which 80-year-old actor has a child?

It’s wondrous, she has a very sweet kind of way of looking at you and just taking you in," he admitted to the news outlet. "I don’t know where it’s gonna go with her later when she gets older, But she’s thinking, and she’s observing every single watching. It’s really interesting." Also, in an interview with People, De Niro expressed his overwhelming joy and affection for his daughter while sharing a lighthearted chuckle about the unique dynamics that have emerged within his family since the arrival of his seventh child. “She’s such an adorable baby. So sweet,” he admitted. “The kids all get a big kick out of her. The grandkids even. She’s their aunt — they’re about to be teenagers!” Aside from his current romantic relationship with Chen, the 80-year-old has had other failed relationships and marriages, where he welcomed his other six children. De Niro met his first wife, Diahnne Abbott, in 1975 on the set of Taxi Driver, where they began a relationship and married in 1976. They welcomed a son named Raphael Eugene, and he also adopted Abbott’s daughter, Drena. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1988, during which De Niro allegedly had a covert affair with musician Helena Springs. 19 January 2020 - Los Angeles, California - Robert De Niro. 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards held at The Shrine Auditorium. Photo Credit: AdMedia Springs and De Niro's relationship came to public knowledge when Springs sued the actor for child support. She claimed that their encounter at a 1979 party, followed by a three-year romantic involvement, led to the birth of their daughter, Nina, in 1982. Despite the 80-year-old's initial belief that he was Nina's father, DNA testing disproved this. Springs further argued that because De Niro had treated the child as his own, he was liable to pay child support. However, the presiding judge ultimately ruled against her, stating that the Tribeca Film Festival co-founder had no legal obligation to provide any support for the child. Following his first divorce, the actor dated Toukie Smith, and they had two sons, Julian Henry and Aaron Kendrick, born in October 1995. He also had a private relationship with supermodel Naomi Campbell in the 1990s. De Niro decided to try marriage again after meeting his second wife, Grace Hightower, in 1987 while still married to Abbott, and they married in June 1997. The duo had a son named Elliot in March 1998, and in 2011, they welcomed their second child, Helen Grace, through surrogacy. The couple initiated their divorce in 2016; however, their separation wasn’t finalized until 2018. Given the number of children De Niro has fathered, the actor seems to love a big family. Also, his children are fulfilling that dream, as he is currently a proud grandad of four from two of his children—Drena and Raphael. https://youtu.be/Lkzhe_tjp6A?sivLJsvTtMPrUyqb1E
