Robert De Niro has a new addition to his family.

Last month, the actor, 79, welcomed a daughter with his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, marking his seventh (!) child. The Oscar award winner dropped the baby news during a recent appearance on ET Canada on Tuesday. He revealed that his girlfriend just “had a baby” after the interviewer referred to his six children. He said, “Seven, actually.”

In a separate interview on CBS Mornings, De Niro told news anchor Gayle King, 68, the name of his baby girl: Gia Virginia Chen De Niro.

During the segment, King debuted the first photo of the actor’s little girl, who was wearing a cute pink onesie. King also shared that The Bronx Tale star is very “excited” to have a new member of the family.

The About My Father star shares six children with his former partners. He and his first wife, Diahnne Abbott, have a daughter named Drena, 51, and a son Raphael, 46.

He’s also the parent of twin sons, Julian and Aaron, 27, who he shares with his ex-girlfriend, Toukie Smith. Lastly, he has a son named Elliot, 24, and a daughter named Helen, 11, with his former wife, Grace Hightower.
