Robert De Niro, 79, was photographed with his 24-year-old son Elliot on a weekend in New York City. Elliot is an avid tennis player and the fifth of six children born to De Niro. He also has twin sons, Raphael, 46, and Elliot, 25.
Elliot and Robert wore a black jacket and a gray and black scarf for their stroll. His son, who is a few inches taller, also wore a black jacket.
Elliot is a talented tennis player who appeared in a promotional video leading up to the 50th Anniversary of the Special Olympics. His father said in the past that he and Elliot's mother, Grace Hightower, signed him up for the sport to help him cope with his special needs.
Grace concluded, "He has realized, "Oh, I can accomplish this." "It has helped him socially," she continued. "It helps him be more confident when he sees that he's actually good at this." "He's gonna feel better about himself, which he does."
Elliot is one of Robert's four youngest children with Grace, his former partner, model Toukie Smith, and his son Raphael with Diahnne Abbott's previous wife. Drena is Diahnne's biological child from a previous marriage.
Robert has said in the past that being a father is his greatest blessing, despite it being difficult at times. “I love my children, just being with them,” he told Us Weekly in 2019.
