Robert De Niro, 80, and his partner Tiffany Chen, 45, attended a state dinner at the White House in Washington. The evening honored Fumio Kishida, the Japanese Prime Minister.
The last meeting between leaders of the United States and Japan took place more than 9 years ago. Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Bill & Hillary Clinton, who appeared on the list of 230 guests, were among the guests. A journalist asked the actor for his opinion on the 2024 American presidential elections. The actor, not wishing to give an answer, retorted: “What do you think??” He and his girlfriend began dating in 2021, a few years after the actor split from his ex-wife, Grace Hightower, in 2018. Together, they welcomed a daughter, Gia Virginia Chen De Nro, on April 6, 2023. The dinner was held only four days after the latter's first birthday party. The Oscar-winning actor is also the father of six other children from his three previous relationships.
