Robert De Niro, 79, Reveals He’s Recently Welcomed His 7th Child

Robert De Niro is now a proud father of seven!

While giving an interview for his upcoming film About My Father, the 79-year-old actor revealed that he's welcomed a new baby. Robert was chatting with ET Canada about parenting when the new baby came up.

He said of raising kids, "I mean, there's no way around it with kids. I don't like to have to lay down the law and stuff like that. But, [sometimes] you just have no choice."

Robert continued, "And any parent, I think, would say the same thing. You always want to do the right thing by the children and give them the benefit of the doubt but sometimes you can't."

He was then asked specifically about his six children, to which the actor replied, "Seven, actually."
