It's safe to say that Robert De Niro is truly living his best life as he enters his daredevil era. The iconic actor recently celebrated his 81st birthday with his daughter, Drena De Niro, by his side. As opposed to a quiet and low-key celebration, Robert chose to embrace his adventurous side and jump off the side of his luxurious yacht.
Drena, whom Robert adopted during his marriage to Diahnne Abbott, captured the impressive moment on camera. The two-time Oscar winner looked confident and carefree as he sported red and blue striped swim trunks and took a plunge into the ocean. Drena shared the video on social media, captioning it with a heartfelt message: "Happy 81st Bday to my Dad and #1 ride or die.. Love you with all my ♥️♥️♥️ #BobbyD forever."
In addition to the video, Drena also shared multiple throwback photos of Robert with her late son, Leandro, who tragically passed away last year at the age of 19. It's evident that Robert cherishes these memories and holds them close to his heart.
The loss of his grandson deeply affected Robert and he asked for privacy as he and his family grieved. In an interview with People magazine, he expressed his shock and regret, saying, "It's just a shock...never thought it would happen." He also shared that he often thinks about what he could have done differently, but ultimately accepts that it was out of his control. "It shouldn't have happened," he added.
Drena also shared several bittersweet throwback images of Robert with her late son, honoring his memory and keeping him close to their hearts. In the midst of their grief, Robert and Drena traveled to Florida to visit a mural created in Leandro's honor.
Robert's birthday comes just a few months after his youngest child, Gia, celebrated her first birthday. He shares Gia with his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, and recently revealed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that they had a small and intimate celebration for her. "She had a little cake, it was very nice, sweet," he shared.
Robert is also a father to six other children - Drena, 56; Raphael, 47; twins Julian and Aaron, 28; Elliot, 26; and Helen Grace, 12 - from previous relationships. Despite his older age, he continues to cherish every moment with his children and expresses his love for them. He described Gia as "pure joy" and shared that there is no judgment or anything negative about her. "She just is what she is, and it's just pure joy, for god's sake," he said.
Robert has previously revealed that he and Tiffany planned to have Gia, despite their age difference. He stated, "How could you not plan that kind of thing?" It's clear that Robert is grateful for his family and cherishes every moment with them.
