Robert De Niro Becomes Older New Father for the 7th Time.

Robert De Niro, 79, has become a father for the seventh time, joining the exclusive club of older new fathers. The birth date and mother's name have not been disclosed. A 2018 study found that men aged 55 and older accounted for only 111,130 births over a decade. Older fathers are associated with a higher risk of medical issues in children, including prematurity, low birthweight, and the need for intensive care. The overall risk to children is still relatively low, but research has suggested that the children of older fathers have increased risks for neuropsychiatric problems.
