Robert De Niro and his longtime girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, enjoyed a rare red carpet date night at the Focker-In-Law premiere.
De Niro, 83, walked the Wednesday, November 11, red carpet at the Beacon Theatre in New York City with Chen, 46, on his arm. The prolific actor, who stars as patriarch Jack in Ben Stiller’s Focker franchise, wore a gray turtleneck over a classic black blazer and charcoal-colored pants. Chen, for her part, opted for a blue checkered maxi dress with a gray cardigan. She accessorized with a black-and-white bag and gold jewelry.
De Niro and Chen have been together since 2021, welcoming daughter Gia two years later in 2023. (The Oscar winner is also the father of six older children from various past relationships.)
“She’s such an adorable baby. So sweet,” De Niro gushed to People in February 2024, one year after Gia’s arrival. “[When I] look at her, everything else goes away. So it’s a great joy and relief to just be with her in the moment.”
At the time, De Niro revealed that his eldest children “all get a big kick out of” bonding with their baby sister.
“The grandkids even. She’s their aunt— [and] they’re about to be teenagers,” he quipped, marveling over his family’s tight-knit bond. “The fact that they’d all be together is everything to me.”
According to De Niro, he’s even learned new lessons about fatherhood since Gia was born.
“I don’t know if there’s a secret. It’s just managing it all,” he admitted to People in August. “And there’s no way around not feeling a little guilty about not being there at times you should or you think you should.”

De Niro further noted that parenthood in itself is “a new experience.”
“It’s not like you’ve taken courses on it and stuff,” he added at the time. “You can, of course, but you don’t. You just jump in and you have the child and you got to … That’s it.”
For De Niro, his age also affected his parenting journey.
“Things just change,” he previously admitted on a 2024 episode of CNN’s Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace. “I’m trying my best. I’m going to put on my gravestone, ‘I tried my best.’ I was thinking about that the other day. … I tried my best is all I would say. Well, I don’t know [if I was preoccupied by my career]. I don’t think of it that way. I mean, I was busy, of course, but I always loved my kids.”
