The "Killers of the Flower Moon" actor expressed: "Everything that I'm consumed with or worried about or this or that, just goes away when I look at her." He then got emotional as he paused before finishing his statement by saying the effect his daughter has on him is "wondrous."

The doting father also highlighted: "She has a very sweet kind of way of looking at you and just taking you in [...] she's thinking, she's observing everything, and watching. It's really interesting." Robert then ended his response by noting that he wants to be around for as long as possible to enjoy raising his baby girl.

This recent interview is not the first time Robert has confirmed that he has been enjoying fatherhood with his baby daughter, as last year, while talking about fathering Gia, he said, "It's great!" Additionally, the same year, the dad of seven gushed over Gia again: "She's just an adorable young, little innocent thing, it's just amazing."
