From the Red Carpet to an Exclusive Chanel Dinner: Robert De Niro and His Younger Partner Enjoy New York's Glamorous Nights

Hollywood legend Robert De Niro and his partner, Tiffany Chen, have once again shown that age is just a number when it comes to elegance and effortless chemistry. The celebrity couple stole the spotlight at one of New York's most anticipated social events: the annual Film Benefit at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).

The 18th annual gala, traditionally hosted in partnership with fashion house Chanel, paid tribute this year to another giant of the film industry — director Steven Spielberg. Surrounded by A-list guests, De Niro and Chen drew attention with their carefully coordinated looks, which complemented each other perfectly.

The 83-year-old two-time Oscar winner stayed true to his signature understated style, opting for a dark grey suit paired with a lighter-toned polo sweater and brown shoes. All eyes then turned to his companion, Tiffany Chen, who made a striking entrance in a daring, glamorous outfit. She chose a black mini dress with a plunging neckline, teamed with thigh-high leather stiletto boots. A delicate silver bracelet, minimalist necklace and understated earrings completed the look.

It has been an especially busy week on the social scene for the couple. Just the night before, they were photographed at the New York premiere of Focker-in-Law, where De Niro reunited with co-stars Ben Stiller and pop superstar Ariana Grande.

Robert De Niro and Tiffany Chen's love story reportedly began in 2015 on the set of the hit comedy The Intern, in which Chen had a small role. However, rumours of their romance did not emerge until August 2021, three years after the actor's divorce from Grace Hightower. At the time, paparazzi photographed the couple sharing affectionate embraces and kisses aboard a yacht off the coast of southern France.

In April 2023, their relationship welcomed a new chapter with the birth of their daughter, Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro, who became the legendary actor's seventh child.

Reflecting on the challenges of raising a large family in a recent interview, De Niro candidly admitted that there is no universal formula for being the perfect father.

“It all comes down to managing your time. And, to be honest, you can never completely shake that little feeling of guilt when you're not there for your children at moments when you should be — or when you feel you ought to be,” the screen legend said.
