“I just like to have us all together, you know,” De Niro said, per PEOPLE. “That’s the ideal, having them all together [on] Father’s Day.”
Similarly, Crystal — who is dad to daughters Jennifer, 51, and Lindsay, 46 — said he hopes his family can “just to be together” for the holiday.
In April 2023, De Niro became a father for the seventh time when he welcomed daughter Gia with his girlfriend Tiffany Chen.
The Goodfellas star is also dad to six other children. He welcomed daughter Drena, 56, and son Raphael, 47, with first wife Diahnne Abbott, twins Julian and Aaron, 28, with ex-girlfriend Toukie Smith and two children — son Elliot, 26, and daughter Helen, 12 — with Grace Hightower.
During an interview with AARP The Magazine earlier this year, De Niro got emotional while speaking about his life as a dad to baby Gia.
“It feels great,” he said of becoming a dad again.

King revealed the child’s name is Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro and weighed in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces after her April 6 birth.
King added De Niro told her the baby was “planned” and both he and Chen “wanted this baby.” She added the two were “over the moon” by her arrival — and said, “she was brought here by love, so he is very psyched and very excited about it.”
