Robert De Niro wants his daughter to learn Chinese and English.
The 80-year-old actor – who adopted Trena, 52, Rafael, 47, and twins Julian and Aaron, 28 – with ex-wife Dianne Abbott and Elliott, 25, and Helen Grace, 11. He – with his second wife Grace Hightower – welcomed a baby girl, Jia, with his Chinese girlfriend Tiffany Chen earlier this year, and hopes the boy will be raised learning both of his parents’ mother tongues.
He told Rolling Stone: “Yes, she’s half Chinese. I want to try to teach her Chinese, show her nursery rhymes in English and Chinese. I hope she learns both.”
Al Pacino, 83, welcomed Roman with girlfriend Noor Alballah just months after Robert became a dad again, but the ‘Godfather Part II’ actor admitted he had no idea he was going to be a dad again. They were “delighted” to hear the news and promised to talk about it the next time they got a chance to see each other.
He said: “I didn’t know he was going to have a baby! I didn’t know how he was, but I was happy for him and I wish him well. I don’t know what it was about “Al’s baby, but we’ll talk about it when I see him.”
