Robert De Niro is honored to have the part of “Dad” on his extensive portfolio, in addition to his legendary playing career. For being the most devoted father to his six children, Drena De Niro, Raphael De Niro, Aaron De Niro, Julian De Niro, Elliot De Niro, and Helen De Niro, the venerable Irishman actor deserves a prize.
Married Life
The Taxi Driver actor married singer Diahnne Abbott in 1976, giving birth to son Raphael that same year, and became a father for the first time. Before the two separated up in 1988, Robert adopted Drena, Diahnne’s daughter from a prior relationship, and so became her adoring father.
The Oscar winner moved on to find love with Toukie Smith after divorcing Diahnne. Despite never getting married, the Meet the Parents star and the former model did grow Robert’s family while they were together. The ex-couple had twin boys, Julian and Aaron, who were born through in vitro fertilization and surrogacy in 1995, but they split up soon after.
In 1997, the Godfather actor wed actress Grace Hightower and made his second trip down the aisle. The couple then welcomed a son called Elliot in 1998 and a daughter named Helen in 2011. However, Grace and Robert divorced in 2018 after 20 years of marriage.
After divorcing Diahnne Abbot, De Niro started dating model Toukie Smith. Although they did accompany their parents to red-carpet events when they were little, they led very tranquil lives as adults. De Niro and Toukie welcomed twin boys Julian and Aaron De Niro throughout the course of their relationship, which lasted from 1988 until 1996. In October 1995, the twin boys who had been created through in vitro fertilization were delivered through a surrogate. Julian and Aaron both have very secluded lives. Although they did accompany their parents to red-carpet events when they were little, they led very tranquil lives as adults.
Family Expansion
De Niro and his wife made the decision to expand their family after reestablishing their marital stability. In 2011, the couple utilized a surrogate to give birth to their daughter, Helen De Niro. Helen is almost ten years old, yet almost little is known about her. Due to lingering legal concerns as well as other factors, Grace and De Niro split in 2018, and their divorce is still very much in limbo.
Throughout his career, De Niro has seldom ever discussed his personal life in public.
He has been pretty open about how he feels about his six children following in his footsteps and pursuing an acting profession, in addition to sharing such insights about seeing them navigate the world. “If you want to be an actor or you want to do this or that, it’s wonderful as long as you’re happy,” the actor told People he teaches his kids. Don’t undersell yourself, though. That’s the most I can advise you to do: exert a bit more effort and strive to achieve your goals. Be not scared. He insisted with great vehemence that he wanted these students to “choose their own road.”
