Robert De Niro confirms Tiffany Chen is mother of his seventh child in sweet reveal

Robert De Niro revealed this week he had become a dad for the seventh time and has now confirmed the mother of the latest addition to his brood.

The actor, 79, announced Tiffany Chen as the mother of his baby daughter, who was born on April 6. He also revealed the tot's name - Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro.

The Taxi Driver star also shared a sweet snap of the newborn with CBS This Morning host Gayle King.

Gayle confirmed to her audience that the tot was indeed planned and both Robert and Tiffany were "over the moon" at baby Gia's arrival.

Robert first met Tiffany on the set of his hit flick The Intern, which was released in 2015. Tiffany played the role of a martial arts instructor in the production and in one scene, the pair are filmed alongside Anne Hathaway learning the art.

It's not far from Tiffany's full-time role either - she is a Tai Chi instructor by trade.

She is also a certified international judge and referee by international Tai Chai Chuan Federation Taipei, Taiwan, according to her bio.

Her sporting achievements include a number of world recognised competitions in a number of countries, such as Vietnam, America and France. She was also named Inside Kung-Fu magazine's Best Competitor of the Year in 2011.

Robert's newest romance comes after he split with his former wife of almost 20 years, Grace Hightower, in 2018.

The Meet the Fockers star and his current partner were snapped together in March after leaving a dinner date together in LA. They had been spending time with Harvey Keitel and Billy Crystal and Tiffany showed off a baby bump at the time.

Former Sex And The City star and close pal of Robert's, Kim Cattrall, previously shared that Tiffany is a "beautiful woman."

"God bless him, his significant other," she said. "Tiffany is such a beautiful woman. She came to the set once with her family and watched filming, and she was gorgeous and sweet. I'm happy for both of them."

In the first image of their first child together, the youngster looked adorable in a white and pink baby grow.

Robert also shares two children - Drena, 51, and Raphael, 46 - with his first wife, Diahnne Abbott, and two children - Elliot, 25, and Helen, 11 - with ex-wife, Grace Hightower.

He also has twin sons Aaron and Julian, 27, with his former girlfriend, Toukie Smith.
