Robert De Niro has recently welcomed his seventh child into this world. Without a doubt, the news of the 79-year-old father has boomed on the internet. Although the famed actor is yet to reveal the identity of the child’s mother, many suspect her to be none other than Tiffany Chen.
The 45-year-old Chen is a well-known martial arts expert. She has also published a workout book titled, ‘The Kung Fu Kickboxing Workout with Tiffany & Max Chen’. She indeed has a phenomenal reputation as the winner of multiple bouts.
De Niro’s association with martial arts has been prominent since 2013. He acted in the sports comedy film ‘Grudge Match’, beside Sylvester Stallone. The martial arts film asked Dana White to play a role as a cameo but instead had to settle with Chael Sonnen.
