Robert De Niro is seemingly ready to settle down again.

According to Radar Online, the 81-year-old American actor and director’s girlfriend and mother of his child, Tiffany Chen, wants to marry him, but she has to agree to the prenup demands of the Hollywood star before tying the knot.

Notably, the 46-year-old martial arts instructor and actress birthed the seventh child of Niro, Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro, in April 2023, and now she wants to cement her relationship with the Goodfellas actor by getting married.

“He wants to avoid marriage like the plague. He loves Tiffany and their little family, there’s no question about that, but he’s nervous about jinxing the relationship by putting it into a formal bracket,” the sources noted.

“He’s not going to do it, and when his mind’s made up, that’s it,” they remarked.
