The 81-year-old welcomed his seventh child, Gia Virginia Chen De Niro, in 2023 with partner Tiffany Chen.

De Niro spoke to Andy Cohen for Sirius XM’s Radio Andy, explaining that Gia has “discerning taste” in TV shows.

“That’s what I did this morning,” De Niro told Cohen.

“‘Ms. Rachel,’ ‘The Wiggles,’ ‘Blippi.’ ‘The Wiggles’ are sort of cheap, but ‘Ms. Rachel,’ we started with it and still stay with it.”

De Niro explained that his daughter’s taste is becoming more refined the more “Ms. Rachel” she watches.

“Now she’s becoming more discerning because she’s seen it so many times,” De Niro added.

“We’re waiting for new episodes, new skits, new songs: she goes ‘Okay, next.’ She’ll go, ‘No, no, no, next.’ She wants me to switch to something else.”

In 2023, De Niro shared his own experiences with fatherhood with ET Canada during the promotion of the film ‘About My Father.’

"I don't think I've ever been a cool father,” he said.

"I'm OK. My kids disagree with me at times, but they're respectful.

"My daughter is 11, and she gives me grief sometimes, and I argue with her and adore her.

"With my youngest now, there will be more to come, but that's, you know - that's what it is."

De Niro has six other children: Drena, Raphael, Aaron, Julian, Elliot and Helen.

The veteran actor added that sometimes he has to be "stern about stuff" with his children.

"I mean, there's no way around it with kids. I don't like to have to lay down the law and stuff like that. But, (sometimes) you just have no choice," he told ET Canada.

"And any parent ... would say the same thing. You always want to do the right thing by the children and give them the benefit of the doubt but sometimes you can't."
