Tiffany Chen is a martial arts instructor who has recently inadvertently made waves as the frontrunner as to who the potential mother of Robert De Niro’s seventh child may be, after he shared an out-of-the-blue bombshell revelation to ET Canada that he had welcomed another child to the world.
While DeNiro and his team have not confirmed or denied the child’s parentage, the internet naturally went into a speculative frenzy as to who the mother of De Niro’s seventh child may be, and the consensus at the moment seems to be that it is in fact Tiffany Chen, after the pair were spotted having dinner back in March, while Chen was visibly pregnant.
Of course, as these things tend to go with older and long-established Hollywood actors, a widespread curiosity has been piqued in regards to the age gap between De Niro and his supposed co-parent. Here’s everything we know.
How old is Tiffany Chen?
Not to be confused with another entertainment industry-present Tiffany Chen who, at the time of writing pops up at the top of your Google search results, who is aged 64, internet sleuths have made an educated guess as to exactly how old Tiffany Chen (martial arts instructor and De Niro’s supposed partner) is.
As HITC discovered while digging this information up, Chen’s biography on her website states that she entered her first martial arts competition in 1994, at the age of 16. Therefore, this would make Tiffany Chen either 45 or 46 in present day.
If you’re someone who lives by French author Max O’Rell’s rule (popularized by Aziz Ansari’s character Tom Haverford in Parks and Recreation) of “half your age plus seven” as the ballpark for an appropriate dating age, then Deniro is toeing the line, but is just clear of being creepy, if that’s the standard by which you abide. With DeNiro being 79 years of age, his “magic number” is 46.5.
