Robert De Niro's Kids Range From Infant to 50s — Meet All 7 of Them

De Niro and Diahnne Abbott got married in 1976 after meeting on the set of "Taxi Driver." The "Savage Salvation" actor then adopted Abbott's daughter, Drena, from a previous marriage. Drena was born on Sept. 3, 1971, so she was 5 when she was adopted and took on De Niro's surname. After growing up on film sets her entire childhood, Drena went on to become a model, DJ, and actor. She's appeared in several of her father's films, including "Great Expectations," "Showtime," and "The Intern," as well as other movies like "Joy" and "A Star Is Born."

Drena had a son named Leandro De Niro-Rodriguez, who was born in 2003, though he died in July at age 19. Drena announced the news on Instagram, captioning a photo of Leandro: "My beautiful sweet angel . I have loved you beyond words or description from the moment I felt you in my belly .You have been my joy my heart and all that was ever pure and real in my life . I wish I was with you right now. I wish I was with you . I don't know how to live without you but I'll try to go on and spread the love and light that you so made me feel in getting to be your mama . You were so deeply loved and appreciated and I wish that love alone could have saved you 😞I'm so sorry my baby , I'm so sorry @carlosmare 😢💔. Rest in Peace and Eternal Paradise my darling boy 🙏🏽💔💔💔💔💔🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️."

On Nov. 9, 1976, De Niro and Abbott welcomed their first son together, Raphael. As a kid, Raphael was given the opportunity to act in some of his parents's films like "Raging Bull," "Love Streams," and "Awakenings." In a December 2017 interview with The Real Deal, Raphael said that he chose not to continue acting because it "didn't appeal" to him and he didn't want to live in his father's shadow. So, instead of chasing fame, Raphael made a name for himself as a real estate agent for Douglas Elliman. Per People, his celebrity clients have included Jon Bon Jovi, Kelly Ripa, and Renée Zellweger.

After divorcing Abbott in 1988, De Niro moved on with "227" actor Toukie Smith. The couple welcomed their twin sons, Julian and Aaron, via surrogate on Oct. 20, 1995. Just like his parents, Julian has also become an actor. In 2016, he appeared in the film "In Dubious Battle," and in 2022, he played a young Barack Obama in the Showtime TV series "The First Lady." Back in April, he made his Broadway debut in "The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window."

Aaron has chosen to live outside of the spotlight, so little information is known about him. He was born on Oct. 20, 1995, alongside his twin brother. Although their parents were never married, they were in a long-term relationship from 1988 to 1996. Aaron and Julian were just a year old when De Niro and Smith split. (Aaron, Julian, and Elliot De Niro are pictured here in 2007.)

A year after De Niro married actor Grace Hightower, the couple welcomed their son Elliot on March 18, 1998. Although not much is known about Elliot, De Niro confirmed in March 2016 that his son has autism while showing his support for the anti-vaccination documentary "Vaxxed" that screened at the Tribeca Film Festival, which he co-founded. "Grace and I have a child with autism and we believe it is critical that all of the issues surrounding the causes of autism be openly discussed and examined," De Niro said in a statement at the time, People.

However, following backlash, De Niro ultimately decided to pull the film. "My intent in screening this film was to provide an opportunity for conversation around an issue that is deeply personal to me and my family," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "But after reviewing it over the past few days with the Tribeca Film Festival team and others from the scientific community, we do not believe it contributes to or furthers the discussion I had hoped for."

De Niro and Hightower's daughter, Helen, was born via surrogate on Dec. 23, 2011, People reported. Considering she's still just a kid, it's not surprising that the former couple have kept details about Helen under wraps. After the pair split in November 2018, De Niro and Hightower initially appeared to have separated amicably. "Grace and I have two beautiful children together. We are entering a period of transition in our relationship which is a difficult but constructive process," De Niro said in a statement at the time, People. "I honor Grace as a wonderful mother and ask for privacy and respect from all as we proceed to develop our roles as partners in parenting."

While speaking to ET Canada on May 8, De Niro announced that he welcomed his seventh child, Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro. Although he didn't immediately share any more details, he confirmed to "CBS Mornings" on May 11 that he and Chen are the proud parents of a baby girl, who was born on April 6, 2023. The outlet also shared the first photo of Gia. In the picture, she can be seen wearing an adorable pink onesie while looking at the camera.

Following De Niro's announcement, Jennifer Lawrence told Andy Cohen during her "Watch What Happens Live" appearance on June 26 that she gifted her "Silver Linings Playbook" costar a baby nurse to celebrate his daughter's birth. She also added that she was "really happy" for De Niro.

Fast forward to October, De Niro shared another update about parenthood and how he's been raising his infant daughter with The Guardian. "It's going OK," he said simply, though he also added, "It doesn't get easier." "It is what it is. It's OK. I mean, I don't do the heavy lifting. I'm there, I support my girlfriend. But she does the work," De Niro further explained. "And we have help, which is so important." The actor continued by saying that fatherhood is "different" with a baby compared to how he's raised his older children. "I don't talk to the adult children the way I talk to my baby," De Niro said, "or the way I speak to my 11-year-old."
