De Niro became a new father again in April at the age of 79 when he welcomed a child with Chen.
The baby girl, named Gia Virginia, is De Niro's seventh child.
Despite De Niro's big birthday bash in NYC, most actors have only been stepping out to join the picket lines in support of the ongoing writers and actors strike. Mandy Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Jason Sudeikis and more have been spotted with signs.

The strike rules prevent actors from making personal appearances or promoting their work on podcasts or at premieres. And they are barred from doing any production work including auditions, readings, rehearsals or voiceovers along with actual filming.

"We’re seeing a mixed bag with people’s individual comfort level," another source told the outlet. "Some people are just sitting some things out altogether."
