In the interview, De Niro said, "I don't think I'm a great father," adding, "I love Helen very much, but sometimes Helen makes me sad." He also expressed concern, saying, "I often argue with my children. When a new child is born, these things will happen even more."

De Niro had a daughter, Drena (51), and a son, Raphael (46), with his first wife Diane Abbott, and a son, Elliot (25), and a daughter, Helen (11), with his second wife Grace Hightower.

Therefore, the newly born child is 51 years younger than his eldest daughter Drena. The gender of the child and the identity of the mother have not been disclosed.

Sean Levy, the author who wrote De Niro's biography in 2014, confessed in an interview with a media outlet, "When I heard the news that he had another child, I was speechless," adding, "I mean, when that child graduates from college, he will be 102 years old. It's crazy."

De Niro is a representative veteran American actor who has won two Academy Awards and one Golden Globe Award. He has appeared in various works such as Taxi Driver (1976), Raging Bull (1980), The Godfather Part II (1974), and The Intern (2015).
