Robert De Niro is showing off his sweet bond with his 10-month-old daughter, Gia.

In a new photo obtained byPage Six, the Goodfellas star, 80, can be seen cuddling the infant on his lap as he gently rests his cheek on her head.

His bundle of joy had a heartwarming grin on her face while rocking a cute onesie decorated with musical squirrels.

“She’s such an adorable baby. So sweet,” De Niro gushed in an interview with People published on Wednesday.

The actor also laughed about the unusual dynamic within his family after welcoming his seventh child at age 79.

“The kids all get a big kick out of her. The grandkids even. She’s their aunt — [and] they’re about to be teenagers!” he said.

In addition to Gia — whom he welcomed in spring 2023 with girlfriend Tiffany Chen — De Niro is also father to: Drena, 56, Raphael, 47, twins Julian and Aaron, 28, Elliot, 25, and Helen, 12.

He has four grandchildren, including Drena’s son, Leandro, who tragically died from an accidental overdose last year at the age of 19.

Last month, the Oscar winner got emotional speaking about his newest addition during an interview with AARP.

“Everything that I’m consumed with or worried about just goes away when I look at her,” he raved. “It’s wondrous.”

He also gave a glimpse into his home life with Chen, 45, and baby Gia while speaking to The Guardian last October.

While addressing his age, he candidly explained that he has stepped back from doing “the heavy lifting.”

“I’m there, I support my girlfriend. But she does the work,” he stated.

“And we have help, which is so important.”

De Niro and Chen were first linked in 2021 after meeting on the set of his 2015 film The Intern.

“When we were working, it was just work,” Chen noted while chatting with Gayle King on CBS Mornings about the beginning of their relationship in July 2023.

“And then a couple of years later, we got back in touch, and I said, ‘Oh, I guess we get along, and I guess we really get along.’”

The Killers of the Flower Moon star was previously married to Diahnne Abbott between 1976 and 1988 and Grace Hightower from 1997 to 2018.
