LOS ANGELES — Actor Robert De Niro and his wife Grace Hightower have become the proud parents of a baby girl born via a surrogate, the actor's spokesman confirmed on Friday.
The child is the second for De Niro, 68, and Hightower, 56. She is named Helen Grace Hightower De Niro, and weighed a healthy 7 lbs 2 oz at birth.
The "Meet the Parents" star married actress Hightower in 1997, and the couple have a son, Elliot, born in 1998.
De Niro also has a son and adopted daughter with ex-wife Diahnne Abbott and two twin sons with former girlfriend Toukie Smith.
The actor can currently be seen in the star-studded, feel-good film "New Year's Eve."
