Robert De Niro, 83, and his girlfriend Tiffany Chen, 46, look loved-up during rare date night

Robert De Niro, 83, and his girlfriend Tiffany Chen, 46, enjoyed a rare public date night in Los Angeles over the weekend. 

The notoriously private couple, who share a daughter named Gia, born in April 2023, looked loved-up as they attended the star-studded opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art on 19 September. Robert and his partner Tiffany, who is a martial arts instructor, sweetly held hands during the night. 

Tiffany looked glamorous for the occasion in an elegant white dress with an asymmetrical one-shoulder neckline. The Grecian-style dress draped to the floor and featured a diagonal mesh panel on the skirt. She had her hair swept up in a sleek bun and complemented her formal look with a black clutch. 

Standing with his arm wrapped around his girlfriend’s waist, Robert looked smart in a navy blazer. 

The couple mingled with some of Hollywood’s biggest names who were on the guest list, posing for a group picture with British racing driver Lewis Hamilton. Robert was also seen greeting Kim Kardashian and smiling for photos with fellow movie stars, Al Pacino and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Private relationship

Robert and Tiffany have been romantically linked since 2021 after reportedly meeting on the set of The Intern in 2015. Tiffany appeared in the film as a Tai Chi instructor who helped Robert’s character. 

The pair, who are parents to three-year-old Gia, tend to keep their family life private. They’ve made the occasional public appearance together over the years, including stepping out hand-in-hand in New York in June for the Chanel Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner.

The museum opening was a star-studded occasion with a plethora of A-listers showing up to celebrate. 

90s romcom queen Meg Ryan made an incredibly rare appearance alongside her grown-up son, actor Jack Quaid, whom she shares with ex, Dennis Quaid. Jack, 34, looked smart in a suit as he towered over his mother in photos from the evening. Meg was effortlessly elegant for the occasion in a timeless little black dress adorned with lace. 

Nicolas Cage was there with his wife, Riko Shibata, as he showed off his new look. The actor sported tousled silver-grey hair and a full beard as he posed for photos alongside his partner who looked lovely in an ivory ensemble featuring a high-necked blouse with wide-legged trousers.
