Talking more about fatherhood, the actor said, “I mean, there’s no way around it with kids. I don’t like to have to lay down the law and stuff like that. But, [sometimes] you just have no choice. And any parent, I think, would say the same thing. You always want to do the right thing by the children and give them the benefit of the doubt but sometimes you can’t.”

De Niro and Tiffany Chen have been dating for years now. Last month, the paparazzi snapped the pair in Santa Monica, where Chen's baby bump was clearly visible.

The actor is the father of six children. He shared daughter Drena, 51, and son Raphael, 46, with his first wife, Diahnne Abbott.
