As reported by several news outlets, including People Magazine and The Daily Mail, Robert De Niro has become a father again at the age of 79. This is not the first time the Hollywood legend has welcomed a new addition to his family: he already has six children from previous relationships, but many were surprised by the news of his seventh. The mother of the baby, who was born via surrogate, has not been named publicly. De Niro’s publicist said the couple are “thrilled with their new daughter “.
Robert De Niro has been a familiar face on our screens for decades, with a career spanning over 50 years and two Oscars to his name. While the private lives of celebrities are often a source of fascination, this news also raises important questions about parenthood and aging. While it is increasingly common for parents to have children at a later age than in previous generations, and assisted reproductive technology (such as surrogacy) has made this more accessible, it is also important to consider the health risks that come with older age. Nonetheless, many will surely join in wishing De Niro and his growing family all the best.
