In a recent interview, Robert De Niro addressed parenting issues ahead of his daughter’s second birthday.
Robert, now 81, has seven children after having welcomed his youngest, Gia, who turns two in April, in 2023. Since then, he has shared his partner Tiffany Chen, 45, with him as the parent of the young child.
He appeared as a guest on this morning’s BBC Radio 2’s Breakfast Show to share another update on his life. The actor, who is currently promoting his new Netflix series Zero Day, spoke with radio host Scott Mills, 51, about his daughter Gia.
Robert – known for films like The Godfather Part II (1974) and Taxi Driver (1976) – revealed in the interview that he doesn’t watch as many films as he “should”. He went on to tease that he watches children’s shows with Gia though.
Asked what he watches at home, the actor told host Scott: “I don’t watch as many movies as I should. I try to watch movies, especially those that are told… I just wanna keep up, but I watch current events if you will, news, stuff like that. Now I watch with my little girl… the Wiggles and Ms Rachel”.
Scott then asked about his knowledge of other kids shows, saying: “Do you know about Bluey”? Robert replied: “No. I’ll look up… I’ll look for them”. Please, please, please, please, please write this down because it might alter your attention span. Do you know what I’m saying? Bluey and Hey Duggee”.
Robert responded: “Bluey and Hey Duggee, okay”. He then went on to say, “My daughter loves to watch the Wiggles and Ms. Rachel, and I didn’t know about them until I started seeing them.” He later went on to add about the Wiggles: “They’re great. Got lots of energy, they’re terrific”.
Robert spoke with the Times about having a toddler in an interview last month. He teased that he doesn’t change nappies any more in the interview, but he now finds himself watching Gia, the creator of content, with Ms. Rachel.
He told the outlet that he’s an “early riser” and said about his youngest daughter: “I spend my mornings watching Ms Rachel with her, and I give her her bottle”. Asked if he’s a nappy changer, he commented: “No, no, but I used to”.
Gia is the youngest of Robert’s seven children. He’s also a parent to Drena, 53, and Raphael, 48, whom he had with his first wife Diahnne Abbott, 79. He later welcomed twins Julian and Aaron, 29, with his ex Toukie Smith, 72. He shares kids Elliot, 26, and Helen, 13, with their mother Grace Hightower, 69.
