Robert De Niro Is A Father For 7th Time At 79. Can Senior Parents Even Be There For Their Kids Growing Up?
The age gap between De Niro and his kid is huge!
The news of celebrities becoming parents is always a joyous occasion not just for them but also for their fans. But things do take an awkward turn when we hear news of the number of babies the celebrity couple has had. Recently, Robert De Niro subtly announced that has now become a father to his seventh child. For those who are not aware, the actor is 79 years old, and is a father to six children from three different partners over a period of years. Well, surely congratulations to the couple but what bothers me is what made Robert De Niro think having a kid at 79 is a good idea? Will he still be around when the kid grows old?

Robert De Niro becoming a father to his seventh child at 79 (details about the mother not yet revealed) indeed comes as a shocker. As ageist as that sounds, didn’t The Godfather actor once think of the massive age gap between this newborn and him? It’s literally 79 years of difference between the two!

Reportedly, the general life expectancy of people is about 74 years. Even if Robert De Niro goes on to live until he is 90, his child will be 11 years old. It seems a little irresponsible on his part to have a baby at this age without doing the math. Sure, the child will have a De Niro surname that they will be recognised with throughout their life but what core memories or moments will they have with their father? Having a child does not mean responsibilities end there. In fact, they double up after the child’s birth. Given his age, his partner has to shoulder maximum responsibility for raising the child.

Just because they are celebs and can afford to feed so many mouths, does not mean they can go about making as many babies as they want.
