A few months before his 80th birthday, the legendary actor had his seventh child, and now he has shown how he enjoys spending time with his little darling.
Robert De Niro has recently been in the spotlight for becoming a father at 79. He generally avoids talking about his private life and rarely comments on the new additions to his family.

In addition to the baby, De Niro has six other children: Drena De Niro (52), Raphael (46), twins Julian and Aaron (28), Elliot (25), and Helen (12). He also has three grandchildren, though his grandson Leandro passed away in July last year.
