Stars Black beauties: who were ex-wives of Robert De Niro

Although the actor had many novels and has illegitimate children, he was married only twice. Let’s talk more about these women.

Dianne is an actress and singer born in New York on January 1, 1945. In the 1970s and 1980s, she was a fairly successful and in-demand actress with a solid resume of roles. She also had a cameo role in the film Taxi Driver, in which Robert also starred (they met on the set). However, Abbott slowed down her career in the late 1980s, so she is best known today as Robert’s first wife, marrying him in 1976.

In the first year of their marriage, their son Rafael De Niro was born. She remains their only biological child together, although Abbott also has a daughter, Drena, from a previous relationship, whom Robert adopted. Drena also became an actress and starred in several films with her super successful father such as Tail Wags the Dog, City by the Sea and The Intern. But the son in the acting profession was disappointed and started selling real estate.

Dianne and Robert’s marriage lasted until 1988.

Grace is an actress, entrepreneur and philanthropist born in Mississippi on April 7, 1955. Although she has acted in films, she is more interested in business. For example, he has a Rwandan coffee company.

Robert and Grace married in 1997, almost ten years after they first met in a London nightclub. In March 1998, their first child together, son Elliot, was born. But a year later, De Niro suddenly filed for divorce.

A tense custody battle ensued, but the couple eventually reconciled and even renewed their vows in 2004. In 2011, their second child was born – a girl named Helena was born by a surrogate mother.

But seven years later, the marriage broke down anyway, and Robert confirmed that he was divorcing Grace again. The separation process was not without controversy. So Grace demanded that her credit card limit linked to the actor’s account remain at $100,000 per month, while De Niro cut the amount in half – the actor was facing financial difficulties due to the pandemic.

Robert’s lawyer, Caroline Krauss, then stated that the actor could not retire because of these obligations.

“These people, despite his decent earnings, always spent more than he earned,” she told the judge in 2020.
