Watch: Robert De Niro and Tiffany Chen Make Rare Red Carpet Appearance at Cannes Film Festival 2025

Robert De Niro and Tiffany Chen turned the red carpet into a date night.

The actor and his girlfriend stepped out in Cannes, France, for the opening ceremony and Partir Un Jour (Leave One Day) screening at the 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival on May 13. 

For the milestone occasion, the 81-year-old wore a black tuxedo and bow tie, while Tiffany wore a black dress with thin straps, a curved neckline and shimmery details. She paired a black and silver necklace and earrings with the dress and styled her hair in a slicked back ponytail. 

The couple previously attended the festival together in 2023, just one month after they welcomed their daughter Gia, 2—who joins the Taxi Driver star's six older children, including daughter Drena, 57, and son Raphael, 48, who he shares with ex Diahnne Abbott, as well as his 29-year-old twins Airyn and Julian with ex Toukie Smith, plus son Elliot, 27, and daughter Helen, 13, from his previous marriage to Grace Hightower.

And while she had not revealed it just yet, Tiffany had been struggling with Bell's palsy, a condition that impacts muscles in the face, which began just after she gave birth weeks prior. 

"When I went home, I started to feel like, my tongue felt strange," Tiffany told Gayle King in an interview clip aired on CBS Mornings in July 2023. "It felt a little tingly, just starting to get a little bit numb. And then I realized my face...my face just felt weird."

When she couldn't eat or clearly speak a week after giving birth, she realized there was "something really going on." Through the challenges, Tiffany noted, she had Robert to lean on for support.

"He was very sweet," the martial artist shared. "He tried to say that he didn't see any difference, he didn't see any change. He was like, 'No…You look fine. Maybe you look a little stern.' And I'm like, 'Really? My whole face is melted on itself.' But he was very strong, very supportive."
