At 79, Robert De Niro announced that he is going to have his seventh child, Gia Virginia with Tiffany Chen.
De Niro on parenting: “It doesn’t get easier.” He says that he doesn’t do the "heavy lifting," and emphasizes his supportive role for his girlfriend in their parenting journey.
De Niro professes being "there" for partner, Tiffany Chen, and daughter Gia Virginia, but how "there" he really is remains open to interpretation.
De Niro; like many other dads tends to be less hands-on, while the mothers or partners often handle the more challenging tasks.
Funny how age is just a number when someone in their twilight years becomes a parent, but age surely does play a role in how involved they can be in the day-to-day tasks!
Could it be a paternal pep talk from a distance or perhaps a thumbs-up from the couch? The mysteries of De Niro's parenting style might never fully unveil.
