Robert De Niro, the legendary actor, has become a father for the seventh time at the age of 79. He and his wife, Grace Hightower, welcomed a baby girl via a surrogate on December 23, 2011, weighing 7lbs., 2oz. The couple, who married in 1997, already have a 13-year-old son named Elliot. De Niro also has four other children from previous relationships.
De Niro's publicist Stan Rosenfield confirmed the news and added, "Everyone is doing great." The couple has not released any further information about the baby or the surrogate. De Niro and Hightower have been together for more than two decades, although they briefly split in 1999 and filed for divorce. However, they reconciled and renewed their wedding vows in 2004.
De Niro, who is considered one of the greatest actors of all time, has had a successful career spanning over five decades. He has won two Academy Awards, a Golden Globe, and a Screen Actors Guild Award, among others. In addition to his acting career, De Niro is also a successful businessman, owning several restaurants and a film production company.
The news of De Niro's seventh child has been met with both congratulations and surprise.
