Tiffany Chen – Current wife of “The Godfather” Robert De Niro – announced that he has officially retired at the age of 81 after welcoming his 7th child

Hollywood is shaken by the news: Film legend Robert De Niro – who is known as the real-life “The Godfather” – has officially announced his retirement. This information was confirmed by his wife, Tiffany Chen, just 30 minutes ago, after she gave birth to the actor’s 7th child.

“He gave away all the best of himself…”

This morning, in a short interview with Hollywood Insider, Tiffany Chen choked up and shared:

“Robert told me that he felt that everything he needed to do in cinema had been completed. He wanted to spend his last years as a father, no longer a ‘screen boss’, but a normal man in the family.”

Immediately, this sharing caused the media to “explode”. Fans around the world were shocked. Robert De Niro, who made millions of hearts flutter with his roles in Taxi Driver, Raging Bull or The Irishman, has truly retired from the stage of his life.

From “The Godfather” to the father of 7 children

In 2023, the news that Robert De Niro – then 79 years old – and his girlfriend Tiffany Chen welcomed their 7th child shocked the entertainment industry. Many people were surprised, many admired, and many questioned whether his health, spirit and heart could withstand the pressure of becoming a father again.

However, despite his age, De Niro proved that he is not only a film legend, but also a responsible family man. The images of him holding his child, playing with his child, taking Tiffany for a walk… moved the public. But perhaps, it was this child that made him make today’s shocking decision.

“Robert said he didn’t want to miss any moment with his last child. He had missed a lot of things with his children before because he was busy filming and pursuing his career. This time, he wanted things to be different,” Tiffany said.

Hollywood regrets, fans burst into tears

As soon as the news spread, a series of stars such as Al Pacino, Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio… spoke up to express their regret and honor De Niro’s illustrious career.

Martin Scorsese – a director who has been with De Niro for a long time – wrote on Twitter:

“I understand why he did it. Robert has never done anything by halves. And if he wanted to be a full-time father, I believe he would be the best father in the world.”

On social media platforms, the phrases “De Niro”, “Retirement” and “Tiffany Chen” are trending globally. Fans left millions of emotional comments: “My childhood ended with you,” “An era has officially ended,” or “Enjoy your new life with your family, you deserve a break.”

What’s next?

Despite his retirement, Robert De Niro still has two post-production projects set for release next year. These are likely to be his final official “farewells” to the silver screen. Critics predict that this year’s Oscars will likely pay a special tribute to the man who helped shape modern world cinema.

As for Tiffany Chen, she said:

“We will live a peaceful life, maybe in the suburbs of New York or somewhere quieter. Robert doesn’t need any more noise. All he needs is the laughter of his children, a hot cup of tea, and quiet sunsets.”

Goodbye, De Niro. A monument has left the stage, but his halo will forever live in every film, every drop of emotion of audiences around the planet.
