De Niro welcomes second child with wife

Robert De Niro has become a father again, at age 68.

The actor and his wife, Grace Hightower, 56, welcomed their second child Friday. The daughter, Helen Grace Hightower, was born via a surrogate. The couple’s first child together, Elliot, was born March 18, 1998.

A rep for the couple said that the new baby is “a healthy 7 pound, 2 ounce girl.”

De Niro married Hightower in 1997. They were headed for divorce four years later, but reconciled and renewed their vows.
