Robert De Niro's love life and romances after mystery of seventh baby's mother
New York-born actor Robert De Niro recently revealed that he welcomed a seventh child, at the age of 79, with his 80th birthday just weeks away.
The Hollywood acting legend recently sat down for an interview where he was asked about what it's like being a father-of-six.
ET Canada's Brittnee Blair was the person grilling the icon, with her saying to the Taxi Driver actor: "I know you have six kids," which then sparked Robert to correct the interviewer.
The Academy Award winner then dropped a total bombshell when he commented: "Seven, actually."
Robert subsequently confirmed: "I just had a baby". However, it remains unclear who Robert has actually welcomed the baby with.

While Travis Bickle is portrayed by Robert in the hit movie, Diahnne played the role of a character who rejected Travis.
Robert and Diahnne's love story was incredibly different from the one that played out on-screen, with them falling madly in love and even getting married.
Welcoming a child, son Raphael, in the same year that they got hitched, Robert also adopted his wife's daughter from a previous relationship, Drena.
Although the Oscar winner and his first wife split in 1988, he maintained a close bond with his adopted daughter.
Toukie Smith

The high-profiled pair dated from 1988 until 1996, with the couple even welcoming twin sons, Julian and Aaron, in 1995 via surrogate.
Both Robert and Toukie kept their relationship out of the public eye, with the model and 227 starlet famously telling The New York Times: "Do you know how to spell private? P-R-I-V-A-T-E.’ And that’s with a capital P," back in 1992.
Toukie's famous quote about privacy came as she grilled by the publication about her love life.

It's thought the pair have been an item since at least 2021 with the duo first meeting on the set of Robert's hit flick The Intern, which came out in 2015 and stars Anne Hathaway.
In the movie, actress Tiffany - who is a Tai Chi instructor by trade - played the part of a martial arts instructor.
