American star Robert De Niro, 79, announced that he welcomed his seventh child, accompanied by his partner, Grace Hightower, who is 56 years old.
De Niro indicated, according to US media, that the new baby, who was named Cochinelle, was born in mid-May.
De Niro and Hightower married in 1997 and have two children together: Elliot, 22, and Helen Grace, 9. Nero also has four other children from previous relationships, including Donald, 47, Rafael, 45, and twins Arona and Julian, 24.
De Niro was criticized after announcing the birth of his seventh child, and this may be due to his age, which exceeds 79 years. Despite this, many appreciate and admire his ability to take this step at such a late age.
And the American star announced in an exclusive press statement to “USA Today” that he had a new baby in his family, making him a father for the seventh time at the age of 79.
De Niro said, “I am exhausted, but I am happy with the way the children are meeting with each other in the family. The whole family is happy,” stressing that his wife, Grace Haytorn, and the newborn are healthy.
