Robert De Niro is one proud dad! The legendary actor sat down for an interview with Gayle King on “CBS Mornings” over the weekend, and he failed to mention that he had a new baby when King interviewed him. On Monday’s episode, King explained that she called De Niro after his baby news broke and asked why he didn’t mention it on the show. The star said he didn’t want to take anything away from the movie he was promoting. However, King asked De Niro if she could be the one to share more details about the little bundle of joy, and he obliged. Not only did he let King share a sweet photo of the one-month-old, but she also revealed her name — Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro.
The photo captured the adorable baby clad in a white-and-pink striped pajama set. King also shared that Gia weighed eight pounds, six ounces when she was born. “They both wanted this baby, they’re over the moon. She was brought here in love. He’s very psyched about it,” King said on the show. Many people left comments on the “CBS Mornings” Twitter page to wish De Niro and his new little love the best. “What a cutie! Congrats to the parents!!!” one person wrote. “She’s absolutely adorable. I love me some Robert De Niro,” another commented.
After the news broke, De Niro told “Extra” that while he is “good” with becoming a father again, it “never gets easier.”
