Families come in all different shapes and sizes, and that's what makes the world go around. Still, the 79-year-old Robert De Niro's surprise confession raised the eyebrows of an interviewer from ET Canada, who — while asking him about his film, "About My Father" — asked him what kind of dad he was to his six children. He corrected her: He had seven now.
By the time De Niro revealed more details, about a month had passed since her birth. He shared a first photo with CBS News, saying that little Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro was the daughter of his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen. As a sign of just how closely-guarded De Niro keeps his private life, his "About My Father" co-star, Sebastian Maniscalco, told Extra that no, he had no clue there was a baby on the way: "I was informed today that he had the baby. I didn't know, leading up to this, that he was going to have a baby, but yeah, God bless him!"
The newborn addition to the family joined his adopted daughter, Drena (pictured with him in 2015), son Raphael, twin sons Julian and Aaron, son Elliot, and daughter, Helen. And as for what kind of father he is? He said, "I don't think I'm a cool father. ... I'm ok. My kids disagree with me at times, but they're respectful. ... And my youngest now, that'll be more to come. But, it is what it is."
