Robert De Niro shocked fans in May 2023 when he revealed he “just had a baby” at age 79 — but who is the woman he welcomed baby No. 7 with?

Although he did not disclose the mother of his child at the time, the actor stepped out for a dinner date with visibly pregnant Tiffany Chen just two months before his announcement.

The duo, who met in 2015, were first romantically linked in 2021 and have kept their relationship private ever since.

Prior to their romance, De Niro became the father of two children each with Diahnne Abbott, Toukie Smith and Grace Hightower.

The Oscar winner adopted Abbott’s daughter, Drena, in 1976 and she gave birth to son Raphael that same year. He welcomed twin sons Aaron and Julian with Smith in 1995, followed by son Elliot and daughter Helen with Hightower in 1998 and 2011, respectively.

Chen, who works as a martial arts instructor, was inducted into Inside Kung-Fu magazine’s Hall of Fame as Competitor of the Year at age 26 in 1994.

“My plan has always been to learn how to be as great as my father,” she told the outlet at the time, referencing dad William Chen.

William currently teaches Tai Chi in New York City’s Chelsea area.

De Niro and Tiffany worked together on “The Intern,” a 2015 movie starring Anne Hathaway.

Tiffany played a Tai Chi instructor in a minor role, working with De Niro’s character, Ben, to practice in an outdoor group.

The “Taxi Driver” star was married to Hightower while filming the movie. He and the actress divorced in 2018 after more than two decades.

De Niro and Tiffany were first spotted in August 2021 holding hands during a vacation in the South of France.

On the same trip, the pair were photographed kissing on a yacht.

In March 2023, De Niro and Tiffany left Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica after a dinner date, with the gold medalist’s baby bump on display at the time in a gray sweater.

De Niro corrected an ET Canada reporter in May 2023 who said he was a father of six, clarifying that he had welcomed a seventh child.

He told Page Six at the “About My Father” premiere the following day that he was not surprised by the baby’s arrival, asking, “How you could not plan that kind of thing?”

At the same premiere, De Niro’s costar Kim Catrall gushed over his relationship with “gorgeous” and “sweet” Tiffany while recalling her on-set visits, seemingly confirming her as the baby’s mother.
