Baby Gia's arrival was not announced to the world when she was born. Her famous father revealed that he had welcomed a seventh child later on while promoting the comedy film About My Father (2023). In an interview with ET Canada, when asked about his six children, the two-time Oscar winner corrected the interviewer and said, "Seven, actually." He then added: "I just had a baby," he shared, though he didn't provide any further details at the time about his new little one. He currently 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.
