Robert De Niro became the father of his seventh child at the age of 79.
The actor revealed that he just welcomed a new baby in an interview with ET Canada.
His rep confirmed the birth to Sky News.
There are 51 years between his eldest daughter, Drena De Niro, and his youngest.
Also in the De Niro clan are Raphael, 46 – he and Drena are the children of De Niro and his first wife, Diahnne Abbott – two children from his second marriage, Elliot, 25, and Helen, 11 and 27, twins Aronne and Julian.
De Niro also has four grandchildren.
He revealed the newcomer when Brittnee Blair, who was interviewing him, started asking a question, saying, “I know you have six kids.”
The actor corrected her, replying, “Seven, actually.”
“I just had a baby,” she added.
She told ET Canada that she believes “in loving with [his] children”, although he sometimes has to “be strict about things”.

“I mean, there’s no way around it with kids. I don’t like having to lay down the law and stuff. But, [sometimes] you simply have no choice,” he said.
“And any parent, I think, would say the same thing. You always want to do the right thing for the kids and give them the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes you just can’t.”
