The oldest of De Niro's 6 children is one of the most successful real estate brokers in the Big Apple and heads his own team in the prestigious Douglas Elliman real estate firm.
Since the beginning of his career, De Niro ended up becoming involved in relationships with several stunning African American actresses. His first wife was the beautiful Diahnne Abbott, with whom he shares Raphael.

His second marriage to Grace Hightower, brought a son, Elliot, and a daughter, Helen, now 7. Raphael's half brother Elliot was diagnosed with autism at an early age.
