Robert De Niro dons a black suit with girlfriend Tiffany Chen at the 16th Annual Chanel Artists Dinner

Slim in a black suit, Robert De Niro was joined by his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, at the star-studded 16th annual Chanel Tribeca Artists Dinner in NYC on Monday.

The Taxi Driver actor, 79, who welcomed his seventh child with Chen two months earlier in April, joined other A-listers at the glitzy event, including Oscar winner Brendan Fraser and actress Nina Dobrev.

The star opted for black trousers along with a black suit jacket while stopping at the special dinner at the Balthazar Restaurant, adding a dark green polo shirt underneath.

The Goodfellas star completed his overall look by slipping into a pair of black loafers and was spotted strolling alongside his girlfriend, who he first romantically linked with in 2021.

She opted for casual comfort in a form-fitting brown tank dress with a hem that stopped a few inches above her ankles.

The martial arts instructor slipped on a pair of white sneakers to stay comfortable during the busy night, and pulled on a long, white knit sweater to help keep her warm in the drizzly weather.

Her locks were pulled back into a simple ponytail and Tiffany donned a few shades of brown to accessorize her outfit. While on her way to the main location, the mother of one of the children was carrying a bright yellow bag in her hands.

According to Robert, he hosted the annual Chanel dinner alongside Jane Rosenthal, Paul Weinstein and the luxury French brand itself Variety. The festivities help honor a number of artists such as Ana Benaroya, Beverly Fishman, and Christie Neptune.

Each of the female artists recognized at the dinner has also been asked to create original pieces to be presented to the winners at the 2023 Tribeca Festival.

De Niro was later spotted in the eatery mingling with other diners and talking to attendees in the crowded space.

The Irish actor co-founded the Tribeca Festival with Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff in May 2002, and until 2020 the event was originally called the Tribeca Film Festival.

The actor has been keeping busy and made an appearance last Wednesday at the opening night of the festivities by attending the special screening of the documentary Kiss The Future.

He was also joined by Tiffany on the red carpet to kick off the festival, which ends on June 18. In addition to spending time at the annual event, Robert recently celebrated becoming a father for the seventh time.

In April, he welcomed a baby girl named Gia with Tiffany and confirmed the big news during an interview with ET Canada last month of May.

At one point, interviewer Brittnee Blair mentioned his “six kids,” but Robert was quick to chime in with the correction: “Seven, actually. I just had a baby.’

On the Today show to promote the Tribeca Festival, he also opened up about his newborn daughter, Gia, and also briefly mentioned his close friend, Al Pacino.

“Look, Al Pacino just had a baby, I was told yesterday morning, and he’s a few years older than me. God bless him, very happy for him.’ Robert also gushed about re-educating a newborn, saying, “It feels great.”

Regarding how he’s changed as a dad, the star told host Hoda Kotb, “I’m definitely aware – when you’re older you’re aware of certain things in life, dynamics, everything, family dynamics.”

The Goodfellas actor added, “You can’t avoid learning certain things and how to deal with that and deal with it and this and that, the usual. It’s great, but I’m very happy with it.’

Along with baby Gia, Robert also shares daughter Drena, 51, and son Raphael, 46, with Diahnne Abbott, twin sons Julian and Aaron, 27, with ex, Toukie Smith, and also son Elliot, 24, and daughter Helen, 11, with ex wife Grace Hightower.

Shortly after news of his new family addition came to light, the actor shared Page six that welcoming his seventh child was “planned” and the question “How could you not plan things like that?”

A screening of A Bronx Tale, which was released in 1993, will also be shown on June 17 to close the Tribeca Festival. Notably, Robert both starred in and directed the crime drama.

He opened up about the film, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and talked Additional‘I’m really looking forward to it, especially at the Beacon Theater… the audience… can’t wait.’

2023 has been a monumental year for De Niro so far, with the actor taking himself to the 76th annual Cannes Film Festival last month in May for the premiere of Martin Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon.

The film, which also stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, Brendan Fraser and Jesse Plemons, received a nine-minute standing ovation after screening.
