Robert De Niro, who recently welcomed his 7th child at age 79, says his 6 older kids haven't met their sibling yet 'but they will'

• Robert De Niro became a dad of seven when he welcomed a new child with his girlfriend Tiffany Chen.
• When asked if his other kids had met their new sibling, he told People: "Not yet, but they will."

Robert De Niro said his older children haven't yet met his newborn daughter, Gia Virginia, whom he recently welcomed with his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen.

De Niro shocked the world in May when he revealed that at the age of 79, he had become a father for the seventh time, making him one of Hollywood's oldest dads. His "Heat" costar Al Pacino surpassed him a few weeks later when he announced that at age 83, he had another kid on the way.

At a screening of his 1993 crime drama "A Bronx Tale," which closed the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on Saturday, De Niro was asked by People whether his six other children — who range in age from 11 to 51 — had been introduced to the 10-week-old yet.

"Not yet, but they will," he responded.

The star of such classics as "The Godfather: Part II," "Raging Bull," "Heat," and "Meet the Parents" shares daughter Drena, 51, and son Raphael, 46, with his first wife, Diahnne Abbott; twin sons Julian and Aaron, 27, with ex-girlfriend Toukie Smith; and son Elliot, 24, and daughter Helen, 11, with his second wife, Grace Hightower.

It's possible that the meeting could take place this weekend, as when asked how he was spending Father's Day, the actor said he is "just gonna spend it with the kids and all that."

De Niro's "A Bronx Tale" costars Chazz Palminteri and Kathrine Narducci who were also in attendance discussed the "Goodfella" star's new arrival when asked by the outlet.

Palminteri said Virginia was a "beautiful baby," and Narducci said that De Niro is "an unbelievable father" and "a wonderful person."

"I've seen him around his kids, and I know his daughter Drena, and they have a beautiful relationship," she said. "And I think he's a great guy, you know, a great dad, a great person — a great human being."

De Niro revealed in May that he had welcomed baby No. 7 into the world with Chen, 45, while speaking to Entertainment Tonight Canada to promote his new movie, "About My Father."

When ET Canada's Brittnee Blair mentioned De Niro's six children, the two-time Oscar winner corrected her, saying: "Seven, actually. I just had a baby."

He then shared the details on "CBS Mornings" with Gayle King the following week, revealing that his daughter's full name is Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro, and she had been born weighing 8 lbs., 6 oz. on April 6, 2023.
