Robert De Niro and his partner, Tiffany Chen, stepped out together for a rare public appearance in New York, drawing attention as they walked hand in hand at the premiere of Focker-in-Law.
The 83-year-old Hollywood actor and his 46-year-old partner were among the notable arrivals at the event, where photographers captured the couple posing together on the red carpet.
De Niro opted for a classic, understated look, wearing a dark jacket paired with traditional trousers. Chen, meanwhile, chose a patterned dress that stood out against the actor’s more conservative outfit. She completed her look with a matching handbag.
De Niro and Chen have been together since 2021, although their connection dates back several years earlier.
The pair reportedly first met in 2015 while working on the film The Intern, in which De Niro starred alongside Anne Hathaway. Chen had a small part in the production as a tai chi instructor, while De Niro played one of the film’s central characters.
Despite their relationship becoming public knowledge, the couple have generally maintained a low profile. They rarely attend high-profile gatherings together, making their appearance at the Focker-in-Law premiere a notable moment for those following De Niro’s personal life.
The Couple Share a Daughter Born in 2023
The actor’s youngest child joined his already large family, which includes children from his previous relationships. De Niro has frequently spoken about fatherhood over the years, and the arrival of Gia marked another chapter in his life as a parent.
The couple welcomed their daughter, Gia, in April 2023.
His family also includes twins Julian and Airyn, whom he shares with his former partner, model Toukie Smith. The twins were born in 1995.
The couple’s appearance in New York came just one week after news of Smith’s death. The former model died on November 4 at the age of 74, following a battle with multiple sclerosis.
Smith and De Niro shared a relationship before the actor began his romance with Chen. Although they eventually went their separate ways, they remained connected through their two children.
