Leandro De Niro Rodriguez was only 19 years old. The grandson of the multiple Oscar winner and Hollywood star, who himself stood in front of the camera for “A Star Is Born”, among others, has died. His mother Drena De Niro announced the news. However, the 51-year-old gave no details about the circumstances of the death.
She wrote on Instagram: “My beautiful sweet angel. From the moment I felt you in my stomach, I loved you beyond words.” She also posted a photo of her son. It shows a boy with deep black eyes and equally dark, long, curly hair.

Robert De Niro’s grieving daughter added: “I wish I was with you. I don’t know how to live without you, but I will try to move on and spread the love and light you gave me when I became your mother.”
“I’m So Sorry My Baby”
She “loved and cherished” her son very much. But her love apparently wasn’t enough to “save” Leandro. It remains unclear whether the mother wants to allude to her son’s illness or suicide. She ends her statement with the line, “I’m so sorry, my baby, I’m so sorry. Rest in peace and paradise forever, my dear boy.”
At 51 years old, Drena De Niro is Robert De Niro’s eldest child. The Hollywood star himself has not yet responded to the death of his grandson. The 79-year-old recently became a father for the seventh time. His current partner Tiffany Chen gave birth to a girl named Gia in May. Drena De Niro comes from a previous relationship: when Robert De Niro dated actress Diahnne Abbott from 1976 to 1988, he adopted Drena as a child.
