Robert De Niro‘s wife Grace Hightower was seen with their daughter Helen Grace, 2 months, in New York City on Monday (February 27). The actress/singer, 56, toted their newborn in a car seat on a sunny day in the Big Apple.
Helen, born via surrogate, is the second child for Grace and the Academy Award-winner. They are also parents to 14-year-old son Elliot.
Robert, 68, and Grace were wed in 1997. After splitting two years later, they renewed their vows in 2004.
The Godfather star also has two adult children with ex-wife Diahnne Abbott, and twin sons from another previous relationship.

A newborn at 56 and 68. Totally selfish.
I know several people whose parents were in their late 40s and early 50s when they were born, and I have NEVER heard them be resentful that their parents had them at that age. So if their kids won’t care, why do you?
They’re not a burden to society, they’re not asking you for anything, so let them be (without the nasty comments, if you can find it in your heart).
Just because they’re not resentful doesn’t mean it doesn’t make them sad that their parents will probably die 20 years earlier than their peers’ parents.
Late 40s vs. 68 is quite a difference.
We are not talking about late forties/early fifties. Grace is 56. Robert is 68. The man is pushing 70! Just because you CAN buy a baby, doesn’t mean you SHOULD. I don’t care what means they have, this is disgusting and selfish.
Wow, who killed your cat this morning?
Wealth should not enable one to buy babies! Proof of a good parent does not come from the money paid for said child…just ask a sex trafficker what they paid… SICK!
Sex trafficking? Really?
Please go kill yourself. People like you are ruining this planet.
its a way to hold on to a man
Totally selfish… think about that child in kindergarten with 75 yr old parents :/
For all you sanctimonious harpies, ALL decisions to have children are selfish, no matter what the age of the parents. If you claim you had children out of pure altruism, you are a liar. I don’t care how young you are.
No one’s saying people have kids out of pure altruism, they’re saying having kids when your life span is 20-25 more years is selfish.
someone that age should be toting her grandchild not baby! Sorry! I think once you are 50 its much to old to procreate whether you physically can or can’t.
Of course they coudl both live well into their 90′s but how physically active can they be with this child? jmo of course.
Well, that’s a new argument “how physically active can they be”?
I hope you say the same thing about people in wheelchairs and the fat families wandering your local Walmart. How physically active can they be with their children?
That’s not what the OP was saying and you know it. Where did you learn to argue? That child is going to get the short end of the stick and you know it.
