Robert de Niro, 79, Could Be Dad Again & His Private Partner Is Close to His Kids after His Custody Fights

• Robert De Niro, 79, and his partner Tiffany Chen made rare outing together.
• The "Godfather" star fought for his son and daughter with his estranged wife of 20 years.
• His partner has a close bond with young kids.

Robert De Niro is famous for his extensive career in Hollywood and for the signature catchphrases fans use when impersonating him. However, he and his partner, Tiffany Chen, actually live a quiet life.

They are not often seen out together and instead prefer to keep their relationship as private as possible. Recently, the couple graced fans with a rare public outing on which fans began speculating.

De Niro and Chen began dating shortly after meeting on the set of "The Intern" in 2015. After his tumultuous relationship with his ex-wife, those close to De Niro thought Chen was "really great for him" and that she was "safe and sweet and kind."

Last week, Chen and De Niro were spotted leaving the Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles after dining with friends Billy Crystal and Harvey Keitel. Fans thought they noticed a baby bump on Chen.

While some thought Chen was pregnant and were excited about the couple, others believed that it was impossible because of her age. One mused:

"So Robert De Niro's 63-year-old girlfriend is pregnant. Miraculous!"

Although fans have been speculating since the video of the couple leaving the restaurant was released, neither De Niro nor Chen has confirmed that Chen is expecting a baby with her beau.

Why is De Niro Still Stuck in A Divorce with his Ex After Two Custody Battles?

De Niro and his ex-wife, Grace Hightower, were married for twenty years. Yet De Niro filed for divorce for the first time in late 1999. The couple was embroiled in custody battles for decades but did not divorce.

Hightower and De Niro only separated for a while and then got back together. They even renewed their vows in 2004 and lived happily as a blended family with De Niro's children from a previous relationship.

The couple then decided to expand their own family and welcomed a daughter through a surrogate in 2012. However, by 2019, De Niro had once again filed for divorce from Hightower but tried to keep it quiet by filing under Anonymous vs. Anonymous.

At first, De Niro asked for visitation of his daughter, but the arguments between the couple quickly became focused on money and property and how the couple would split their assets.

De Niro and Hightower have still not come to a conclusion in their divorce, but De Niro wants to ensure that his children always remain his top priority. He has always wanted what's best for them.

Although De Niro is focused on his children and wants to ensure he is always the best father he can be, he has also found happiness for himself outside of his children in the form of Chen.

Chen has seamlessly blended into De Niro's family, despite the fact that there are children from two different relationships who all have different personalities and needs. Chen has bonded with them all.

What is Chen's Relationship with De Niro's Children?

Despite the fact that De Niro is facing challenging times with his ex, his new woman has made his life infinitely better, and she loves his children as though they are her own. Chen was even seen holding De Niro's youngest daughter's hand on outings.

Once, when De Niro was seen out with three of his children in late 2021, Chen accompanied them. The family appeared happy together, and Chen spent time individually with each of the children.

De Niro and Chen don't enjoy much public attention and instead prefer to remain lowkey. Yet their recent outing has cast much attention on them as fans wonder if De Niro is once again going to expand his family with his new girlfriend.
