Robert De Niro and GF Tiffany Chen’s 3-Month-Old Baby Makes Her TV Debut
Robert De Niro and Tiffany Chen‘s daughter, Gia, is just 3 months old, but she’s already made her first television appearance.
Chen, 45, introduced the little one to Gayle King during the Friday, July 14, episode of CBS Mornings. “She’s made it more fun,” Chen told King, 68, explaining how Gia’s arrival had changed her and De Niro’s lives.
When King jokingly asked Gia which of her dad’s movies she likes the best, Chen quipped off-camera, “The one in the delivery room, where [she’s] the star!”
De Niro, 79, confirmed in May that he and Chen — who started dating in 2021 — recently welcomed a child together. The Oscar winner later revealed that Gia was born on April 6. In an interview with King at the time, De Niro confirmed that his new daughter’s birth wasn’t an accident.
“I [asked him], ‘Did you want a baby?’ He goes, ‘Yes. This baby is planned,’” King explained during an episode of CBS Mornings. “They both wanted this baby, they’re over the moon. She was brought here by love, so he is very psyched and very excited about it.”
During her own interview with King this week, Chen revealed that she suffered an unexpected complication after giving birth to Gia. The trouble began when she started feeling numbness and tingling in her tongue after coming home from the hospital.
“Then I realized, like my face just felt weird. I didn’t know what the feeling was that I was having. It felt weird,” Chen explained in a clip shared on Thursday, July 13. “I was trying to eat. I went to put just a fork of food in my mouth, and everything came out. I couldn’t eat. And then I was starting to slur.”

Chen sought medical care and was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy, which is characterized by sudden weakness in the facial muscles and is often temporary. “I lost all facial function the minute I got into the hospital,” Chen recalled.
De Niro became a father in 1976 when he welcomed son Raphael, now 46, with Diahnne Abbott. He also adopted Drena, now 51, Abbott’s daughter from a previous relationship. De Niro became a dad again in 1995 when he welcomed twins Julian and Aaron, 27, with Toukie Smith via surrogate.
