Who is Robert De Niro’s rumoured girlfriend Tiffany Chen?
HIS performances have often left fans jaws on the floor, but its Robert De Niro’s personal life that has now left the world stunned.
The legendary actor, 79, revealed he secretly welcomed his seventh child in a shocking interview – but who is his mystery baby mama?
Who is Tiffany Chen?
Tiffany Chen has been thrust into the spotlight amid reports she was the mother of Robert De Niro‘s new baby.
The acclaimed martial arts professional is the daughter of famed Yang Tai Chi Grandmaster William C. C. Chen.
She began ballet, hula dance, swimming and gymnastics at age five before beginning to dabble in martial arts alongside her family.
Tiffany started figure skating at eight-years-old and had scooped three gold medals in regional competitions by the time she was 11.
She then took up ballroom dancing in a bid to improve her form, before realising she could lean on her father’s Tai Chi expertise to help her movement instead.
The multi-talented teen later began competing in martial arts on the world stage, bagging numerous titles and awards along the way.
She released a fitness DVD titled Step-By-Step Tai Chi with Tiffany Chen in February 2008.
By the age of 26, Tiffany had been inducted into Inside Kung-Fu magazine’s Hall of Fame in February 2011.
During an interview with the publication, she said: “My plan has always been to learn how to be as great as my father.”
Is Robert De Niro dating Tiffany Chen?
The pair have been plagued by romance rumours since August 2021, after they were spotted holding hands while holidaying in France.
They celebrated Robert’s 78th birthday with a luxury boat ride and were rumoured to have been seen locking lips.
Tiffany is believed to have first met the Oscar winner after being cast in the 2015 movie, The Intern, thanks to her impressive martial arts background.
She took on the role of a Tai Chi instructor in the hit film who was tasked with trying to teach Robert and his co-star Anne Hathaway.
Robert split with his second wife, former flight attendant Grace Hightower, in 2018 after 21 years of marriage and two children.
Although the Goodfellas star and Tiffany have not publicly confirmed their relationship or their child, one of his pals appeared to slip up.
Kim Cattrall, who co-stars with Robert in the 2023 film About My Father, offered her congratulations to the pair on their rumoured new arrival.
Speaking to Extra, the Sex and the City icon said: “God bless him, his significant other. Tiffany is such a beautiful woman.
“She came to set once with her family and watched filming, and she was gorgeous and sweet. I’m happy for both of them.”
Reports claim Tiffany is already integrated among Robert’s tight-knit circle, after the duo were photographed with Harvey Keitel and Billy Crystal.
The foursome were snapped leaving the Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica, California, after reportedly dining together in March 2023.
Eagle-eyed fans have suggested Tiffany was trying to hide her growing bump with an oversized cardigan just weeks before she reportedly gave birth.
Who else has Tiffany Chen dated?
Little is known about Tiffany’s dating life before she reportedly bagged one of Hollywood‘s most eligible bachelors.
However, the martial arts expert seems to choose her circle wisely.
In a 2011 interview, she discussed the importance of carefully selecting the company she keeps.
Tiffany said: “Surrounding yourself with good people creates a symbiotic relationship that makes everyone’s quality of life go up exponentially.”
Robert has six other children as well as his new bundle of joy.
His other children are; Raphael Eugene De Niro, twins Julian and Aaron Henry, Elliot De Niro, Helen Grace De Niro, and his adopted daughter Drena De Niro.
