Robert De Niro to be a grandfather again

Robert De Niro is gonna be a grandfather again! According to New York Post gossip column Page Six the actor’s son, real estate boss Raphael De Niro, is expecting his second child with wife Claudine.

The couple will welcome their new addition — a girl — in March.

Raphael and Clauine — who also have a son, Nicholas, who is 18 months old — met at work and were married in 2008 in the Bahamas.

Raphael’s mom is Diahnne Abbott-Copeland, who was married to De Niro until 1988.

De Niro recently revealed he’s the model of reason when it comes to being a dad.

“I try not to be too strict with my younger kids because certain things they have to do,” he said. “But at the same time I don’t want them to get away with anything.

“But I think I try to rationalize with them, and argue — ‘Now look, I’m very good with you about certain things. You have to now do this. That’s only fair’.

“Of course, there are times when that stuff doesn’t work. I’m not the all-knowing, all-seeing… But I think in general it works pretty good.”
